Won't play Monday
Carlson (back) is out for Monday's game against the Nuggets.
Analyse
Carlson will be inactive for a sixth consecutive game as he nurses a back injury. His absence potentially leaves Jaylin Williams and Kenrich Williams as the only active players to play the five spot for Monday's contest, as Chet Holmgren (illness, questionable) and Isaiah Hartenstein (calf, out) could both be unavailable as well.

Out for Saturday
Carlson (back) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Warriors.
Analyse
This will be the fifth consecutive game on the inactive list for Carlson, and it's not encouraging that he continues to get ruled out a full day in advance of tipoff. For now, he should be viewed as doubtful for Monday's game against the Nuggets.

Sitting out again
Carlson (back) remains out for Wednesday's game against the Knicks.
Analyse
Oklahoma City's third-string center will be sidelined for a fourth straight game. His next chance to play comes Saturday against Golden State.

Won't play Tuesday
Carlson (back) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Bulls.
Analyse
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.
