Alex Caruso News, Rumors, Updates - Oklahoma City Thunder

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.

Provides lift off bench Monday Caruso finished with 17 points (7-8 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 0-1 FT), one rebound, two assists and one steal over 24 minutes during Monday's 119-110 win over the Lakers.

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.

Jalen Williams returns from injury, leads Thunder past Lakers 119-110 with SGA, Luka sidelined

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).

Thunder's Shai Gilgeous-Alexander sidelined until after All-Star break with abdominal strain

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.

Won't go Sunday Caruso (adductor) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Nuggets.

Impact Caruso will miss a sixth straight game due to a right adductor strain. The veteran swingman's next opportunity to suit up will come against the Magic on Tuesday. With Ajay Mitchell (abdomen) also unavailable, Cason Wallace, Isaiah Joe and Aaron Wiggins are candidates for increased minutes.

Absence streak to continue Caruso is out for Thursday's game against the Timberwolves with a right adductor strain.

Impact Sunday's contest against the Nuggets marks Caruso's next chance to end a five-game absence. With Oklahoma City also set to be without Ajay Mitchell (abdomen) on Thursday, the likes of Luguentz Dort, Isaiah Joe and Aaron Wiggins are each worthy of streaming consideration in fantasy leagues.

Another absence coming Caruso is out for Tuesday's game against the Pelicans with a right adductor strain.

Impact Caruso is sidelined for a fourth straight contest and carries no clear timetable for a return to the floor. With Oklahoma City also missing Ajay Mitchell (abdomen), Luguentz Dort, Isaiah Joe and Aaron Wiggins should all see enough playing time on the wing to warrant streaming consideration.

Impact Sunday will mark Caruso's third consecutive game on the inactive list, and it's not a great sign that he continues to get ruled out 24 hours in advance of tipoff. Cason Wallace, Isaiah Joe and Luguentz Dort will be asked to help fill the void in Caruso's absence.

Ruled out for Friday Caruso (adductor) won't play Friday versus the Pacers, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports.

Impact Ajay Mitchell (abdominal) will join Caruso on the sidelines for Friday's game, and Aaron Wiggins (groin) is questionable, so Isaiah Joe could get some time to shine. Caruso's next chance to play will come Sunday versus the Raptors, and for now, he should be considered questionable for that one.
