Returns on 10-day pact
Carlson signed a 10-day contract with the Thunder on Friday, Brandon Rahbar of DailyThunder.com reports. After being waived by the club on Tuesday, Carlson will return to Oklahoma City for a short-term stint. Carlson has appeared in seven games for Oklahoma City this season, averaging 0.6 points and 1.3 rebounds in 3.6 minutes per contest.
Waived by Oklahoma City
The Thunder waived Carlson on Tuesday, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports. An undrafted center out of Utah, Carlson made seven total appearances for the Thunder with an average of 3.6 minutes per game. The Thunder opened up a roster spot with this move and could use it to sign Ajay Mitchell to a standard deal.
Headed back to parent club Saturday
The Thunder recalled Carlson from the G League's Oklahoma City Blue on Saturday. Carlson joined the Blue for Saturday's 131-110 loss to the Valley Suns, during which he recorded a team-high 23 points (10-18 FG, 3-8 3Pt), 17 rebounds, one assist, one steal and one block across 30 minutes. The 25-year-old big man has appeared in only seven regular-season outings for the Thunder this season, averaging 0.6 points across 3.6 minutes per game.
Headed back to G League
The Thunder assigned Carlson to the G League's Oklahoma City Blue on Saturday, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports. Carlson will be available for Saturday's G League matchup with the Valley Suns. However, Carlson will likely rejoin the Thunder ahead of Sunday's NBA contest against the Celtics.
Recalled by parent club
The Thunder recalled Carlson from the G League's Oklahoma City Blue on Friday, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports. Carlson practiced with the Blue before being subsequently recalled back to the NBA on Friday. The rookie big man is averaging just 4.2 minutes across his six NBA appearances this season.
Assigned to G League
The Thunder assigned Carlson to the G League's Oklahoma City Blue on Friday, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports. Carlson recorded one assist in three minutes during Thursday's matchup with the Clippers. However, the rookie big man should continue to receive increased playing time in the G League.
Returns to NBA
Carlson recorded nine points (3-10 FG, 1-8 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three rebounds, two blocks and one assists in 26 minutes during Thursday's 125-120 loss to the G League's Valley Suns. Following the game, the Thunder recalled Carlson from the Oklahoma City Blue, Tomer Azarly of ClutchPoints.com reports. Carlson will return to the NBA after starting for the Blue in Thursday's G League outing. Carlson is averaging 0.7 points and 1.5 rebounds in 3.7 minutes across his six appearances for the Thunder this season.
Sent to G League
The Thunder assigned Carlson to the G League's Oklahoma City Blue on Thursday, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports. Carlson will return to the G League after a brief stint in the NBA. Carlson is averaging 14.7 points, 7.0 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 1.0 blocks in 24.0 minutes across three appearances for the Blue.
Makes return in garbage time
Carlson (concussion) recorded zero points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt), one rebound and one turnover while playing the final four minutes of Sunday's 130-106 win over the Grizzlies. Carlson hadn't played for the Thunder or the G League's Oklahoma City Blue since Dec. 10 after entering the concussion protocol, but he received the green light to suit up Sunday after having missed the NBA club's last three contests. His appearance was contained to the waning minutes of a blowout, and the rookie will likely continue to see most of his playing time with the Thunder in such scenarios throughout the season.
