Carlson made his Las Vegas Summer League debut Tuesday, finishing as the team's second-leading scorer. The big man tied the game-high mark in three-pointers while matching the team lead in rebounds. He was also the only player on the Thunder to record multiple blocks.

Thunder's Branden Carlson: Inks new two-way deal with OKC
The Thunder re-signed Carlson on a two-way contract Tuesday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
Carlson is set to remain with the Thunder on another two-way deal after originally signing the same pact with the team in February 2025. The center split time between the NBA and G League last season, appearing in 32 NBA games and averaging 3.8 points, 1.7 rebounds and 0.7 blocks on 44.3 percent shooting in 7.7 minutes per contest. His best performance came April 13 against the Pelicans, when he tallied 26 points and 10 rebounds.

Thunder's Branden Carlson: Career performance in win
Carlson posted 26 points (10-19 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 10 rebounds, three blocks and two assists in 38 minutes during Sunday's 115-100 win over the Pelicans.
Carlson saw a significant role Sunday due to the team holding many rotational players out for the season finale and Jaylin Williams (ankle) going down with injury. In an expanded role, Carlson matched his career high in blocks while setting career-best marks in points and rebounds and logging his first double-double. Despite the impressive performance, Carlson will likely return to a minimal role as the team turns to postseason play.

Thunder's Branden Carlson: Barely features in win
Carlson amassed zero points (0-2 FG, 0-2 3Pt) and one assist over two minutes during Tuesday's 136-120 victory over the Lakers.
Carlson was added to the rotation during garbage time, a trend that is all too familiar this season. He has appeared in nine of the past 11 games, with seven of those appearances coming in the dying moments. In 29 games this season, he has averaged 3.0 points and 1.4 rebounds in 6.2 minutes per contest.

Thunder's Branden Carlson: Puts up 16 points Wednesday
Carlson registered 16 points (6-10 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 1-3 FT), six rebounds, two assists, two blocks and two steals across 23 minutes during Wednesday's 133-100 victory over the 76ers.
Carlson played at least 20 minutes for the first time in his career, taking advantage of the fact the Thunder limited Chet Holmgren to 23 minutes and held out Isaiah Hartenstein (back) and several other key rotation players due to minor injuries. The Thunder hold a comfortable lead for the No. 1 seed in the Western Conference playoffs, so Carlson could be in line for expanded opportunities over the final few weeks of the regular season while the team looks to preserve its main rotation players for the postseason.

Thunder's Branden Carlson: Returns on two-way deal
Carlson agreed to a two-way contract with the Thunder on Thursday, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.
With Ajay Mitchell (toe) having been converted to a standard two-year deal Thursday, the Thunder used their open two-way spot on Carlson. The big man previously signed a one-year deal with the Thunder in November before getting waived and then re-signing with Oklahoma City on a pair of 10-day pacts in January. Overall, the 25-year-old rookie has appeared in 15 games for the Thunder this season, averaging 3.1 points and 1.7 rebounds in 6.3 minutes.

Branden Carlson: Back on open market
Carlson became a free agent Saturday after his second 10-day contract with the Thunder expired, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports.
Oklahoma City will have to either re-sign Carlson to a two-way deal or rest-of-season contract in order to retain him. While the Thunder could be interested in keeping Carlson in the fold, the team may prefer to keep a spot on the roster open until Thursday's trade deadline to create more flexibility. Across Carlson's 15 appearances for the Thunder this season, he has averaged 3.1 points and 1.7 rebounds in 6.3 minutes.

Thunder's Branden Carlson: Gets another 10-day deal
Carlson re-signed Wednesday with the Thunder on a second 10-day contract, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports.
Carlson was previously waived off the 15-man roster Jan. 7 in anticipation of two-way player Ajay Mitchell being upgraded to a standard contract. Still, that plan was put on hold after Mitchell suffered a turf toe sprain that will keep him sidelined for multiple months. Once Carlson cleared waivers, the Thunder quickly brought him back on a 10-day deal to fill the open roster spot. After re-signing to another 10-day pact, Carlson will be in the fold through Jan. 31 before Oklahoma City would have to either sign him to a rest-of-season deal or let him walk. Carlson has appeared in 13 games for the Thunder thus far, averaging 2.8 points and 1.8 rebounds in 6.2 minutes per contest.

Branden Carlson: Contract expires
Carlson's 10-day contract with the Thunder expired Monday, Keith Smith of Spotrac.com reports.
Carlson had appeared in each of Oklahoma City's last six games, averaging 5.5 points, 2.3 rebounds and 0.7 blocks in 9.0 minutes per contest. Unless Isaiah Hartenstein (calf) is cleared to play for the start of the Thunder's back-to-back set Wednesday and Thursday, Oklahoma City will likely look to bring Carlson back on a second 10-day deal to bolster their depth in the frontcourt in the short term.
