Garbage time appearance

Carlson ended with no counting stats in one minute during Tuesday's 118-104 victory over Dallas.

Analysis

Carlson was recalled from the G League's Oklahoma City Blue on Tuesday after being assigned earlier in the day and appeared in an NBA game for just the fifth time this season, with all but one appearance coming in garbage time. Despite the fact the Thunder currently have just one reliable center option, Carlson has been unable to force his way into the rotation, with the team opting to run with a small-ball lineup whenever Isaiah Hartenstein isn't on the floor.
