News: 3 days agoCarlson signed a one-year, $2.5 million contract with the Trail Blazers on Tuesday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
Spin: Carlson spent the first two years of his career in the Thunder organization, making four starts across 74 regular-season appearances. He averaged 5.8 points, 3.0 rebounds and 0.6 blocks in 11.6 minutes per game in 2025-26, and he will add depth at the center position for Portland. He's not expected to be a major factor in most fantasy formats, however, as he'll probably compete with Yang Hansen and Sidy Cissoko for the third-string center role behind Donovan Clingan and Robert Williams.
