Oklahoma City has signed Branden Carlson to an undisclosed contract, per a team announcement.
OKC has been down all three of their options at center and have been playing a small-ball lineup over their last two games. Technically, Carlson will be the first option at center, though managers shouldn’t expect him to immediately jump into the starting lineup. He played well for the Raptors this summer and spent some time with them during the preseason, but he has spent this season playing for their G-League affiliate. It’s unclear how Mark Daigneault will use him. It could be situational. It could be to mix things up for 10 minutes per game. It could be as a starter. Keep an eye on him, but there’s no reason to rush to the waiver wire for him.
