Caruso (ankle) is available for Friday's Play-In Game against Miami. There was initial concern regarding the severity of Caruso's ankle injury that he suffered Wednesday against Atlanta, but he was examined further Thursday, which showed reduced swelling. He said Friday morning that he expected to play against the Heat, and he's officially been cleared to suit up in the win-or-go-home matchup.

Alex Caruso Latest News
Officially cleared to play
Caruso (ankle) is available for Friday's Play-In Game against Miami. There was initial concern regarding the severity of Caruso's ankle injury that he suffered Wednesday against Atlanta, but he was examined further Thursday, which showed reduced swelling. He said Friday morning that he expected to play against the Heat, and he's officially been cleared to suit up in the win-or-go-home matchup. Over his six appearances this month, he's averaged 8.8 points, 5.5 assists, 3.7 rebounds and 2.2 steals in 32.3 minutes per game.
Expects to play Friday
Caruso (ankle), who is questionable for Friday's Play-In Game against the Heat, said that he expects to play in the matchup, Jamal Collier of ESPN.com reports. Caruso was initially believed to have a significant left ankle sprain, but he experienced reduced swelling Thursday. It appears increasingly likely that the 30-year-old will be available for Friday's win-or-go-home matchup, but the Bulls will likely continue to monitor him in the hours leading up to tipoff.
Likely to be game-time decision
Caruso (ankle), who is questionable for Friday's Play-In Game against the Heat, underwent further evaluation Thursday that revealed reduced swelling, creating increased optimism that he'll be available for the win-or-go-home matchup against Miami, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports. Wojnarowski reported Wednesday night that Caruso had sustained a "significant" left ankle sprain Wednesday against Atlanta that put his availability for Friday's matchup in doubt. However, the 30-year-old appears to be trending in the right direction and will likely be a game-time decision as the Bulls attempt to secure the No. 8 seed in the playoffs. If Caruso is unavailable against Miami, Javonte Green, Torrey Craig and Dalen Terry could see additional playing time.
Questionable to play Friday
Caruso (ankle) is questionable to play Friday against the Heat. The Bulls are facing a win-or-go-home scenario Friday against the Heat, and the potential loss of Caruso would be massive due to his ability on defense and contributions across the board. However, he's dealing with a "significant" ankle sprain, so his status against Miami is in doubt, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports. Javonte Green, Torrey Craig and Dalen Terry would be the main candidates to take on more minutes if Caruso ends up being ruled out.
Dealing with ankle injury
Caruso generated six points (2-3 FG, 2-3 3Pt), two rebounds, two assists and a steal during 17 minutes of Wednesday's 131-116 win over the Hawks. Caruso said post-game that he sprained his left ankle, Cody Westerlund of 670TheScore.com reports. Caruso missed portions of the first half after a collision with Andre Drummond. While he managed to return to the game, he was subbed out with 9:43 to play in the third quarter and didn't check back in. Caruso's status is certainly up in the air for Friday's matchup with Miami and is worth monitoring ahead of the contest. If he ends up sitting, Javonte Green, Torrey Craig and Dalen Terry are candidates for more minutes.
Checks back in
Caruso (foot) has returned to Wednesday's Play-In Tournament game against the Hawks, Caruso took a brief trip to the locker room late in the first quarter after colliding with Andre Drummond. However, he's checked back into the contest and should be good to go.
Exits game
Caruso went back to the locker room during Wednesday's game against the Hawks with what appeared to be a right foot injury, Cody Westerlund of 670TheScore.com reports. Andre Drummond stepped on Caruso's foot in transition and ran over Caruso at half-court. Caruso quickly removed himself from the game and limped back to the locker room. He should be considered questionable to return.
Makes his mark in season finale
Caruso registered 15 points (5-8 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, eight assists and five steals across 41 minutes during Sunday's 120-119 overtime loss to the Knicks. The Bulls entered Sunday's slate locked in the ninth seed and ready to face the Hawks in the Play-in Tournament, but their starters handle a regular workload, though that translated in them putting up solid numbers across the board. Caruso was not the exception, as he filled the stat sheet admirably while recording five or more steals just for the third time this season. His scoring comes and goes, but Caruso remains a reliable fantasy alternative due to his ability to fill the stat sheet, as evidenced in this contest.
Good to go Sunday
Caruso (ankle) isn't on the injury report for Sunday's game versus the Knicks. Caruso will return to action Sunday after missing Chicago's previous contest with a left ankle contusion. Caruso is averaging 10.6 points, 5.6 assists and 4.0 rebounds and 2.4 steals in 34.2 minutes across his last five appearances.
