Branden Carlson - College Basketball News & Rumors

Game-time call Sunday Carlson (ankle) will be a game-time decision Sunday against California, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.

Impact Carlson has avoided major damage to his ankle and it seems Utah will wait for him until the very last minute, as he plays a big role in the team's rotation. Through seven games, he's averaging 13.7 points per game while shooting 53.7 percent from the field.

Dealing with ankle sprain Carlson is dealing with a sprained ankle, Josh Newman of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

Impact Carlson has avoided major damage and hasn't been ruled out for Sunday's contest against Cal, so he could avoid missing time altogether. The junior is a huge part of the Utes' rotation, protecting the rim and doing a ton of damage in the paint on both ends, so his status will be worth monitoring.

Leaves with injury Carlson contributed two points (1-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and one rebound over seven minutes during Wednesday's 93-73 loss to USC.

Impact Carlson had scored two points before leaving the game around the midway point of the first half after getting tangled up fighting for a rebound. The center didn't return to the game and was seen on the bench in the second half with a boot on his right foot. It's unknown the severity of the injury at this point, but Carlson is likely to miss some time. Backup center Lahat Thioune is the most likely candidate to enter the starting lineup, as he logged a season-high 25 minutes in place of Carlson.

Another game in double figures Carlson ended with 13 points (5-12 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, two assists and three blocks over 27 minutes during Saturday's 68-61 victory over Boston College.

Impact Carlson posted his fourth straight game in double figures to start the season and is now averaging 15.5 points thus far, albeit against subpar competition. The 7-foot center was surprisingly quiet on the glass with only three boards despite Boston College shooting just 42 percent from the floor. As one of just two returning starters for Utah, Carlson has seen an increased role in the offense, accounting for a 27.1 percent usage rate this season.

Posts double-double Carlson tallied 12 points (5-8 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-3 FT), 11 rebounds and zero assists across 30 minutes in Saturday's 73-66 loss to Stanford.

Impact Carlson started his sixth game in a row and responded with his second double-double during that stretch. The only thing he did wrong was commit three turnovers, although it was just the second time all season he's had multiple in a game. Of Utah's regular rotation players, Carlson leads the team with 8.2 rebounds per 40 minutes.
