"Branden Carlson's Availability in Question for BYU-Utah Basketball Showdown"

The availability of Utah Utes center Branden Carlson for the upcoming rivalry game against BYU remains uncertain as he missed the previous game due to an undisclosed injury. Coach Craig Smith stated that they will assess Carlson's condition during practice to determine if he can play. Carlson, who leads the team in points, rebounds, and assists, would be a valuable asset against BYU's high-powered offense. In his absence, the Utes will rely on sophomore center Keba Keita, who recently had a career-high performance. The game is a sellout and holds significance as a longstanding rivalry matchup.
