Alex Caruso Fantasy Stats

Oklahoma City Thunder guard/forward Alex Caruso (ankle) is off the injury report for Wednesday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers after missing three straight contests. Caruso sprained his right ankle against Phoenix on Oct. 26 but is ready to return to a Thunder team still missing Jalen Williams (leg) and Cason Wallace (shoulder). The 32-year-old averaged 9.3 points, 4.8 rebounds, and 3.8 assists through four games before getting hurt. Caruso should have plenty of opportunity while Oklahoma City remains short-handed, and his return could cut into Jared McCain's recent workload.

Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports that Oklahoma City Thunder guard Alex Caruso (ankle) is expected to miss time due to a right ankle sprain, with no clear timeline for his return. The 32-year-old suffered the injury when Dillon Brooks landed on his ankle late in the second quarter of Monday's 125-114 win over Phoenix. Caruso finished with nine points, two rebounds and three assists in nine minutes. With Caruso ruled out for Wednesday's matchup against Dallas, Josh Dix and Bennett Stirtz, who both logged more than 20 minutes Monday, could continue seeing increased playing time in OKC's depleted rotation.

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Alex Caruso (ankle) did not return to Monday's 125-114 win over the Phoenix Suns after suffering a right ankle sprain. The 32-year-old was injured when Dillon Brooks came down on his ankle late in the second quarter and finished with nine points, two rebounds, and three assists in nine minutes while going 3-for-5 from three. With Jalen Williams (ankle, fibula) and Cason Wallace (shoulder) already sidelined, Oklahoma City's perimeter depth is getting tested. Bennett Stirtz and Josh Dix both logged more than 20 minutes Monday and could stay in the rotation if Caruso misses Wednesday's game in Dallas.

Oklahoma City Thunder guard/forward Alex Caruso left his fingerprints all over Game 5 against the San Antonio Spurs on Tuesday, recording 22 points, two rebounds, six assists, and three steals in a 127-114 win. This was a hugely impressive bounce-back performance from Caruso after he finished Game 4 with zero points. Caruso made all eight attempts at the line and went 5-for-10 from the field, including 4-for-8 from downtown. The 32-year-old has been superb in the Western Conference Finals. Leaving aside Game 4, Caruso has averaged 21.2 points, 2.5 rebounds, 3.3 assists, and 2.0 steals per game against San Antonio.

Oklahoma City Thunder guard/forward Alex Caruso led his team with a season-high 31 points in a 122-115 double-overtime loss to the San Antonio Spurs on Monday night. The veteran, who scored 25 total points in the second-round series against the Lakers, looked incredible in the Western Conference Finals opener, going 11-for-19 from the field with an 8-for-14 record from downtown. Additionally, he was busy on the defensive end with two blocks and two steals. In 32 minutes off the bench, Caruso also contributed a pair of rebounds and one assist. In the previous eight playoff games, Caruso finished with double-digit points just twice, so he is unlikely to match his Game 1 effort on Wednesday night. But he's a valuable member of the rotation and generally does a little bit of everything.

Oklahoma City Thunder guard/forward Alex Caruso (illness) is out for Thursday's game against the Lakers, ending his streak of appearances since early March. His absence should open modest minutes for Cason Wallace, who finished with nine points, one three-pointer, and one assist in 27 minutes as a starter last game. Ajay Mitchell also logged 14 points, two rebounds, three assists, two steals, and one block in 36 minutes and could remain a deep-league streaming option. Jared McCain may also see extra run off the bench, though Caruso's absence has limited standard-league impact.

Oklahoma City Thunder guard/forward Alex Caruso (illness) is questionable for Thursday's matchup with the Los Angeles Lakers. The former Laker is dealing with an illness and could be out of the lineup for the first time in 11 games. Caruso's absence would open up playing time for Aaron Wiggins, Jared McCain, and Isaiah Joe. However, the Thunder's second unit could have a quiet night since the Lakers are one of the toughest teams to generate field-goal attempts against as a reserve.

Oklahoma City Thunder guard/forward Alex Caruso (hip) is unavailable to suit up on Monday night against the Denver Nuggets. The veteran will miss his second straight game due to a bruised left hip. OKC will have Ajay Mitchell (ankle, abdomen) back after missing 20 games, so he will help cover while Caruso is out. Isaiah Joe, Aaron Wiggins, and Cason Wallace will also be in line to receive extra minutes during tonight's contest.

Oklahoma City Thunder guard/forward Alex Caruso (hip) is questionable to suit up on Monday night against the Denver Nuggets. The veteran injured his left hip earlier this week and has already sat out one game. Oklahoma City mostly misses Caruso's defensive ability. The team will have Ajay Mitchell (ankle, abdomen) back from a 20-game absence on Monday, and he will help cover for Caruso if needed. Isaiah Joe, Aaron Wiggins, and Cason Wallace would also be in a position to see more minutes.

Oklahoma City Thunder guard/forward Alex Caruso (ankle) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against Detroit. The 31-year-old wing will sit out the second leg of the back-to-back, leaving rotation minutes available on the perimeter. Jared McCain logged five points, four rebounds, and one steal in 10 minutes on Tuesday after producing 10 points with two three-pointers in 16 minutes against Cleveland. Aaron Wiggins added eight points in 17 minutes last game. Both are deep-league streamers, while Cason Wallace and Isaiah Joe remain in elevated roles with increased shot volume.
