Career History




Alex Caruso Latest News
Won't play against Minnesota

Caruso (hip) is out for Thursday's game versus the Timberwolves. Caruso will remain out Thursday after suffering a left hip injury against Miami. Isaiah Joe will likely continue to receive increased playing time in his absence. Caruso's next chance to suit up will come after the All-Star break against the Jazz on Feb. 21.
Departs with hip injury

Caruso has been ruled out for the remainder of Wednesday's game against Miami due to left hip tightness, Rylan Stiles of FanSided.com reports. Caruso exits Wednesday's tilt with two points (0-1 FG, 2-2 FT), two assists and one rebound across 13 minutes. Look for Isaiah Joe and Dillon Jones to see more minutes the rest of the way. The Thunder will be back in action Thursday at Minnesota.
Slides to bench vs. New Orleans

Caruso will come off the bench in Monday's matchup against the Pelicans, Andrew Schlecht of The Athletic reports. The 30-year-old swingman will revert back to his normal role off the bench with Luguentz Dort returning to game action. Over his last five outings off the bench, Caruso has averaged 7.0 points, 3.6 assists, 3.4 rebounds and 2.0 steals across 20.2 minutes per game.
Another double-digit performance

Caruso ended Saturday's 125-112 victory over the Grizzlies with 14 points (5-10 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, two assists and one steal across 27 minutes. Caruso scored double-digit points for the second straight game, the first time he has achieved that feat all season. He was given the starting nod for the first time since joining the Thunder, filling in after Luguentz Dort (back), Cason Wallace (shoulder) and Chet Holmgren (rest) were all ruled out. While the 27 minutes are very encouraging, there is no reason to think this will be a regular theme given what we have seen from Caruso to this point.
Starting Saturday vs. Memphis

Caruso is in the Thunder's starting lineup against the Grizzlies on Saturday, Rylan Stiles of FanSided.com reports. Caruso will make his first start of the 2024-25 regular season Saturday due to the absences of Luguentz Dort (back), Cason Wallace (shoulder) and Chet Holmgren (rest). Caruso registered 12 points, six rebounds, four assists, three steals and one block over 20 minutes during the Thunder's 121-109 win over the Raptors on Friday.
Available against Phoenix

Caruso (ankle) has been cleared to play in Wednesday's game against the Suns, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports. After missing three straight games for the Thunder while nursing an ankle injury, Caruso will get back on the floor Wednesday against Phoenix. The veteran guard has been in and out of the lineup all season with injuries. Still, when he's healthy and available, he's a game-changer defensively for Oklahoma City, averaging a career-high 1.8 steals per game in his first year with the team.
Out against Bucks

Caruso (ankle) will not play against the Bucks on Monday. Caruso will miss a third game in a row Monday and remains day-to-day. With Cason Wallace (shoulder) and Jalen Williams (wrist) also sidelined, guys like Aaron Wiggins and Isaiah Joe could take on larger roles against the Bucks.
Questionable to face Bucks

Caruso (ankle) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Bucks, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports. Caruso was unable to play against the Kings on Saturday after spraining his left ankle against the Warriors on Wednesday. Aaron Wiggins, Isaiah Joe and Cason Wallace (shoulder) would take on a larger role in the Thunder's backcourt if Caruso is not cleared to play Monday.
Ruled out against Sacramento

Caruso (ankle) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Kings, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports. After suffering a left ankle sprain in Wednesday's loss to the Warriors, Caruso will not play in Saturday's matchup against the Kings. With the veteran guard on the mend, the Thunder will likely turn to Cason Wallace, Isaiah Joe and Aaron Wiggins to help shoulder the load in the backcourt.
