Branden Carlson impressed with a standout performance on Sunday, scoring 26 points and adding 10 rebounds, two steals, and five blocks in a game against the Suns. This marks his second consecutive productive start, having accumulated 49 points and 22 rebounds over the past two games. Despite his current form, Carlson’s role may diminish with Chet Holmgren and Isaiah Hartenstein back at full strength, limiting his opportunities primarily to non-competitive scenarios during the playoffs.
