Alex Caruso Latest News
Tallies three steals in loss
Caruso chipped in two points (0-3 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds and three steals over 24 minutes during Tuesday's 97-81 loss to the Bucks. Caruso failed to produce anything else of note besides the steals. When healthy, Caruso has typically played a limited role off the bench for the Thunder, highlighting the depth of their roster. His on-court impact is generally far greater than the impact he has on the scoresheet, as he's achieved double digits in points just once over his last five outings.
Posts well-rounded line in return
Caruso (hip) tallied eight points (3-7 FG, 2-3 3Pt), four rebounds, two assists, one steal and one block across 17 minutes in Thursday's 129-92 win over the Raptors. In his return from a five-game absence due to a right hip strain, Caruso brought his usual contributions in the defensive categories, but he also complemented the pair of defensive counters with some quality perimeter shooting. In his 13 appearances with the Thunder prior to his recent absence, Caruso had been converting at a lowly 20.5 percent rate from distance. If he can continue to bring that rate closer to the 40.8 percent he shot from three-point land as a member of the Bulls in 2023-24, Caruso could start to earn more minutes in a crowded Thunder wing rotation.
Removed from injury report
Caruso (hip) does not carry an injury designation into Thursday's game against Toronto. Caruso appears set to return following a five-game absence, prompted by an aggravation of a previous hip strain. Oklahoma City may limit his usage, but the 30-year-old gaining full clearance Wednesday bodes well. Dillon Jones and Cason Wallace are the most likely candidates for a slight reduction in minutes with Caruso back in action.
Remains out Tuesday vs. Utah
Caruso (hip) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Jazz. Caruso will be sidelined for a fifth straight game Tuesday due to a lingering hip issue. His next chance to play will be against the Raptors on Thursday, but it's not clear how close the 30-year-old guard is to a return.
Out again vs. Rockets
Caruso (hip) will remain sidelined for Sunday's game against the Rockets, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports. Caruso has been hindered by a nagging hip injury that has limited him to just two appearances since Nov. 13. There is no word on how close he is to a return. The stud wing defender's next opportunity to suit up will come Tuesday against the Jazz.
Remains out Friday
Caruso (hip) is out for Friday's game against the Lakers. Caruso won't be able to face his former team due to a nagging hip injury that has limited him to just two appearances since Nov. 13. His next chance to play will come against the Rockets on Sunday.
Out for Wednesday
Caruso (hip) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Warriors. Caruso has already missed four of the club's last six outings, and he will now miss his second consecutive game due to a lingering right hip strain. With the 30-year-old sidelined, Cason Wallace and Aaron Wiggins will likely see an uptick in playing time. Caruso's next chance to play will come Friday against the Lakers.
Won't play Monday
Caruso (hip) is out for Monday's game against the Kings. Caruso exited Wednesday's game against the Trail Blazers early after aggravating a right hip injury that is now holding him out of Monday's contest. With Isaiah Joe (calf, questionable) also dealing with injury, the Thunder could be shorthanded at the wing spots, leaving ample minutes for Cason Wallace and Aaron Wiggins.
Aggravates hip injury
Caruso exited Wednesday's game against Portland with a right hip injury and did not return, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports. He generated 17 points (8-11 FG, 1-2 3Pt), two assists, a rebound and two steals across 15 minutes before leaving. Caruso missed three straight games with right hip soreness before returning to action Tuesday. However, he aggravated the injury late in the third quarter and missed all of the final period. Caruso's next chance to play will come Monday at Sacramento.
