Signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Thunder in September of 2025. 
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.
ANALYSIS
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 general manager Sam Presti had high praise for Carlson during his interview Thursday, Rylan Stiles of SI.com reports.
ANALYSIS
"I don't think we talk enough about Branden Carlson," Presti said. " "I think he's got a bright future." With Thomas Sorber out for the 2025-26 season with a torn ACL, it sounds like Presti is confident in Carlson's ability to step in as the third-string center. Carlson made 32 regular-season appearances for the Thunder in 2024-25, averaging 3.8 points, 1.7 rebounds and 0.7 blocks in 7.7 minutes per contest.
