Branden Carlson, a key player for Utah's basketball team, was a game-time decision due to an undisclosed injury. Despite wearing a sleeve on his elbow, he played in the Pac-12 tournament opener against Arizona State. Utah won the game convincingly without heavily relying on Carlson's performance.
Branden Carlson will continue to wear the sleeve tonight as he continues to heel up from his injury. It's a matter of rest and time at this point, but not something Utah has the advantage of right now.

Branden Carlson coming out for warmups, but will be in a big sleeve tonight on his elbow. Expectation is that he'll give it a go tonight.
