It is believed that the NBA will look at an incident from Wednesday night to see whether a game official used inappropriate language during a confrontation with Vince Carter, the New York Daily News is reporting.

Accounts of the incident in the Detroit News and Detroit Free Press which saw Carter ejected said Carter appeared to accuse referee Derrick Stafford of calling him "boy," a term that is considered offensive to African-Americans.

"(The league) will decide if there's any further action necessary," said Nets' GM Kiki Vandeweghe. "In my experience, they are generally extremely fair."
