Thunder's Branden Carlson: Returns to action
Carlson (back) recorded zero points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and one rebound while playing the final 1:50 of Monday's 123-103 victory over the 76ers.
Carlson was cleared to play after missing the Thunder's previous 11 games due to a low back strain, but the second-year center wasn't part of the rotation while the contest was competitive. With the Thunder at full strength in the frontcourt, Carlson's opportunities are likely to be limited to garbage-time scenarios for the foreseeable future.

Thunder's Branden Carlson: Not listed on injury report
Carlson (back) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Monday's game in Philadelphia.
While Carlson will be available for Monday's game, so will the rest of the Thunder centers, so there are no guarantees he'll be able to find minutes in the rotation. In 35 appearances for the Thunder this season, the second-year center has averaged 4.9 points and 2.6 rebounds per contest.

Carlson (back) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against Washington.

Carlson (back) is out for Sunday's game against the Timberwolves.
Carlson will miss an eighth consecutive game due to a back strain. He doesn't have a concrete date to return to action, but the big man has a minor role in the rotation, so his absence shouldn't affect many fantasy decisions. His next chance to play will come Tuesday against the Magic.

Thunder's Branden Carlson: Out again Thursday
Carlson (back) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Celtics.

Thunder's Branden Carlson: Won't play Monday
Carlson (back) is out for Monday's game against the Nuggets.
Carlson will be inactive for a sixth consecutive game as he nurses a back injury.

Thunder's Branden Carlson: Won't play Tuesday
Carlson (back) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Bulls.
Carlson will miss a third consecutive game due to a lower-back strain that flared up and forced him to exit early against the Pistons on Feb. 25. The Utah product is averaging 10.7 minutes per contest across 35 appearances with the Thunder this season, so his absence shouldn't significantly impact the rotation. The center's next chance to play will come Wednesday against the Knicks.

Carlson will miss a second consecutive contest after exiting Wednesday's loss to the Pistons due to lower-back soreness.

Thunder's Branden Carlson: Starting Friday vs. Memphis

Thunder's Branden Carlson: First double-double of season
Carlson ended with 15 points (6-9 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 11 rebounds, two assists and two steals in 22 minutes off the bench during Friday's 131-94 victory over the Warriors.
The Thunder gave their starters the fourth quarter off in the rout, allowing Carlson and other members of the second unit to get extra run. The 26-year-old center cashed in the opportunity and produced his first double-double of the season. Carlson has seen at least 20 minutes of court time in five of OKC's last 13 games, all in contests the defending champs won by 16 or more points, and in those appearances he's averaging 12.0 points, 6.6 boards, 2.0 threes and 1.6 assists.

Thunder's Branden Carlson: Expanded role Wednesday
Carlson had 12 points (5-9 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 0-2 FT), seven rebounds, one assist and one block in 20 minutes during Wednesday's 124-95 win over the Trail Blazers.
Carlson saw some decent run at center in the absences of both Isaiah Hartenstein (calf) and Jaylin Williams (heel) on Wednesday. His role hinges largely upon the availability of Oklahoma City's key players, which will be something to monitor on the Thunder's injury report prior to Friday's clash in Golden State.
