Alex Caruso Fantasy Stats

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Alex Caruso (quadriceps) won't play in Sunday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. The 31-year-old is quite familiar with the NBA's injury report. However, his absence is more of a bigger issue, considering OKC will also be without Isaiah Hartenstein (calf), who will sidelined for at least 10-14 days. Without Caruso in the equation, Ajay Mitchell could see considerably more minutes than the five he received in Friday's NBA Cup victory over the Phoenix Suns. While Mitchell isn't the safest fantasy option when not in the starting lineup, he still has a higher ceiling for those in need of a last-minute, high-upside streaming option on Sunday night.

Oklahoma City Thunder guard/forward Alex Caruso (hand) has been ruled out for the rest of Saturday's game against the Charlotte Hornets, Andrew Schlecht of The Athletic reports. Coming off the bench, Caruso logged only 1:42 of action before hurting his right hand. His exit from the game allows Isaiah Joe and Ajay Mitchell to take on more shifts in the rotation. The team has labeled Caruso's injury as "right hand soreness," which doesn't sound too serious. However, he could still miss additional time because of it. The Thunder's next game is scheduled for Monday night against the New Orleans Pelicans.

Oklahoma City Thunder guard/forward Alex Caruso (concussion) will rejoin the lineup on Tuesday against the Sacramento Kings. He has missed three games while dealing with a concussion. With Jalen Williams (wrist) and Isaiah Joe (knee) still out, Caruso should be heavily involved in the action on Tuesday. Chet Holmgren (back) also won't play against the Kings, which opens up even more minutes in the rotation for players like Caruso, Aaron Wiggins, and Ajay Mitchell.

Oklahoma City Thunder guard/forward Alex Caruso (concussion) has not been cleared for Monday's game against the Dallas Mavericks, missing a third consecutive contest. The veteran has been sidelined since suffered a head injury in Tuesday's season opener against the Houston Rockets. Caruso's absence from the lineup has opened up additional minutes for players such as Aaron Wiggins, Ajay Mitchell, and Cason Wallace. Mitchell has been the most productive of the trio, averaging 18.7 points, 4.0 rebounds, and 4.3 assists. Wiggins has also performed well, while it's been a bit of a struggle for Wallace so far.

On Wednesday, Rylan Stiles of SI.com reports that Oklahoma City Thunder guard Alex Caruso has been placed in concussion protocol. Caruso sustained a concussion during the season-opening 125-124 win over the Houston Rockets on Tuesday. He registered eight points, two rebounds, three assists, two steals, and one block across 30 minutes in a double-overtime thriller. While the 30-year-old is out of action, Aaron Wiggins and Cason Wallace will likely see a boost in fantasy production with the added minutes on the floor.

Oklahoma City Thunder guard/forward Alex Caruso (ankle) is not on the injury report ahead of Tuesday's season opener against the Houston Rockets. The defensive specialist appeared to have injured his ankle in the Thunder's preseason finale against the Denver Nuggets last week, but he has fully recovered for Tuesday. Due to Isaiah Joe's (knee) absence, Caruso could pick up additional minutes on Tuesday. However, he is clearly a much valuable player in real life than he is in fantasy hoops.

Oklahoma City Thunder guard/forward Alex Caruso has been a real jack-of-all-trades this postseason, and that was evident in their 123-107 Game 2 win that tied the NBA Finals at one-to-one. Across 27 minutes on Sunday night, Caruso registered 20 points, three rebounds, one assist, and countless times being a pest on defense. While the box score doesn't always show it, Caruso has been a huge component of the success of the Thunder, just like he was for the Los Angeles Lakers when they won the championship in the 2019-20 season. His next chance to lock down the Pacers will be Wednesday for Game 3 when the series shifts to Indiana.

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Alex Caruso was excellent in his team's Game 1 loss to the Pacers in the NBA Finals. While playing 28 minutes to lead the Thunder's second unit, he finished with 11 points, six rebounds, three steals, two blocks, and two assists. He would have been hailed as one of the heroes for the Thunder if the game hadn't gotten away from them in the closing minutes. Caruso's multi-faceted role will continue to be critical for the Thunder as they look to bounce back and win on Sunday to tie the series before it shifts to Indiana. Caruso's value on both ends of the floor is huge for OKC, so he should continue to log plenty of minutes off the bench.

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Alex Caruso (ankle) has been ruled out ahead of Friday's game against the Utah Jazz. Caruso played well on Wednesday, but appears to have picked up a minor ankle injury in the process. The Thunder have already locked up the top seed in the West, so they aren't going to play anyone at less than 100 percent healthy. Caruso will join a handful of other players on the bench as the Thunder are resting most of their starters. That means, Aaron Wiggins and Isaiah Joe are likely to see significant run on Friday.

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Alex Caruso (illness) won't play on Wednesday against Boston. He's missed 23 games this season. But the 30-year-old is sidelined versus the defending champs because of an illness. However, OKC won't play again until Saturday in Detroit, so there's a chance he'll feel better by then. Caruso has averaged only 6.5 points this season, down from the 2023-24 campaign. Still, his absence will be felt the most on the defensive end. Without Caruso on the floor, Isaiah Joe, Aaron Wiggins, and Cason Wallace may see more action.
