Not playing Wednesday Caruso (ankle) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Pistons.

Impact Caruso will sit for the second leg of the Thunder's back-to-back set while tending to a left ankle sprain, and his next chance to play is Friday against the Nuggets. Aaron Wiggins, Jared McCain and Kenrich Williams are all candidates to see an uptick in playing time in Caruso's absence.

Doubtful for Wednesday Caruso is doubtful for Wednesday's game against the Pistons with a left ankle sprain.

Impact Caruso was a candidate to rest anyways for the second leg of this back-to-back set, and his ankle issue pretty much guarantees that he's held out. Aaron Wiggins, Isaiah Joe and Kenrich Williams could see more opportunities with Caruso expected to sit.

Strong contribution off bench Caruso posted 16 points (6-10 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four assists, two rebounds and two steals over 23 minutes during the Thunder's 116-107 win over the Raptors on Tuesday.

Impact Caruso was given the green light to return from a one-game absence due to a left ankle sprain. The veteran guard made his impact felt during Tuesday's win, leading the Thunder with a plus-22 point differential while finishing as the team's third-leading scorer behind Cason Wallace (27 points) and Isaiah Joe (22 points). It was just the third time in 15 games since the new year that Caruso scored in double digits, and while he profiles more as a defender than a scorer, he should have more scoring opportunities on some nights for as long as Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (abdomen) is sidelined.

Impact After missing Sunday's game against Cleveland, Caruso is aiming to keep his absence to a one-game minimum Tuesday. If the swingman doesn't suit up, some extra playing time would become open to Aaron Wiggins and Isaiah Joe on the wing.

Won't play Sunday Caruso has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Cleveland due to a left ankle sprain.

Impact The left ankle sprain is a new concern for Caruso, whose next opportunity to play will come Tuesday against Toronto. With the veteran swingman sidelined, Aaron Wiggins, Kenrich Williams and Isaiah Joe are candidates for increased playing time.

Notches nine points in loss Caruso registered nine points (3-6 FG, 3-4 3Pt), three rebounds, one assist and one steal in 20 minutes during Thursday's 110-93 loss to Milwaukee.

Impact Heading into the All-Star break, Caruso's fantasy appeal is quite limited compared to previous seasons. He's averaging 18.4 minutes across 37 appearances with 6.3 points, 2.6 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 1.4 steals and 1.1 three-pointers on 43.4 percent shooting from the field. He's strictly a deep-league fantasy asset for now.

Impact Caruso hit a number of key buckets late against his former team Monday. The veteran swingman is working his way back from a recent lengthy layoff with an adductor strain, averaging 10.3 points, 2.0 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.7 three-pointers in 23.1 minutes per game over his last three contests.

Fades injury report Caruso (thigh) is not listed on the injury report ahead of Saturday's game against Houston.

Impact Caruso was held out of the second leg of the Thunders' back-to-back set Wednesday against the Spurs, but the veteran guard will be back in action Saturday. It's a timely return for the Thunder, given that they are without Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (oblique), Jalen Williams (hamstring) and Ajay Mitchell (abdomen).

Won't play Wednesday Caruso (adductor) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game in San Antonio.

Impact Caruso will take a maintenance day on the second leg of a back-to-back set, but he should be back in action for Saturday's game against the Rockets. With Caruso, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (abdominal), Luguentz Dort (patellofemoraljoint) and Ajay Mitchell (abdominal) all unavailable for Wednesday's game, the Thunder's backcourt will be quite thin. Expect big minutes for Aaron Wiggins, Cason Wallace and Isaiah Joe on Wednesday evening.

Logs 19 minutes in return Caruso (adductor) registered six points (2-4 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three assists and one steal in 19 minutes Tuesday in the Thunder's 128-92 win over the Magic.

Impact After he had missed the Thunder's previous six games due to a right adductor strain, Caruso saw a relatively standard allotment of minutes off the bench in his return. The defensive-minded Caruso came up empty from downtown but was able to deliver one steal for fantasy managers that streamed him in for help in that category. Tuesday's contest was the first of a back-to-back set for the Thunder, so Caruso could be a candidate to rest Wednesday in San Antonio if the Oklahoma City medical staff wants to ease him back from the adductor injury.

Will play Tuesday Caruso (hip) is available for Tuesday's game against the Magic, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports.

Impact Caruso was initially added to the injury report ahead of Tuesday's game as doubtful due to a right adductor strain, but he was later upgraded to questionable and has now been given the green light to run the floor. This will mark his first action since Jan. 19, so the Thunder may keep a close eye on his workload.

Upgraded to questionable Caruso is questionable for Tuesday's game against Orlando with a right adductor strain, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports.

Impact The Thunder have upgraded Caruso from doubtful to questionable, signaling that the swingman has a real chance to end a seven-game absence. Caruso's return would slightly cut into the minutes of Aaron Wiggins and Luguentz Dort on the wing.

Doubtful for Tuesday Caruso is doubtful for Tuesday's game against Orlando with a right adductor strain, per Rylan Stiles of SI.com.

Impact The doubtful designation is actually an upgrade for Caruso, which at least implies he's inching closer to returning at some point in the near future. With the swingman likely to miss a seventh consecutive contest, Isaiah Joe, Aaron Wiggins and Cason Wallace are each worthy of streaming consideration for Tuesday.
