• Thunder's Alex Caruso: Aggravates hip injury

  2D ago • By RotoWire

  Thunder head coach Mark Daigneault said that Caruso didn't return to Wednesday's 109-99 win over the Trail Blazers after aggravating a right hip injury in the third quarter, Rylan Stiles of FanSided.com reports. He generated 17 points (8-11 FG, 1-2 3Pt), two assists, two steals and one rebound across 15 minutes before leaving. Caruso missed three straight games with right hip soreness before returning to action in Tuesday's loss to the Spurs. Though he was cleared to play in the second half of the back-to-back set, Caruso was unable to make it through the full game before departing. Caruso will have some added time to heal up from the injury, as the Thunder won't play again until Monday at Sacramento.

• Thunder's Alex Caruso: Brings defense in return

  2D ago • By RotoWire

  Caruso (hip) tallied two points (1-7 FG, 0-5 3Pt), five rebounds, three steals, two blocks and one assist in 26 minutes off the bench in Tuesday's 110-104 loss to the Spurs. Despite missing the previous three games with right hip soreness, Caruso ended up seeing his most playing time of the season in his return to action Tuesday, as the Thunder had some more minutes available on the wing with Isaiah Joe (calf) sitting out and with Jalen Williams having been pushed up to center due to the team's injuries in the frontcourt. Caruso has gotten off to a brutal start to the season with his shooting, as he's converting at just a 29 percent clip from the field and 18.9 percent from three-point range, well below his career-long rates (43.5 and 37.3 percent, respectively). While Caruso's shooting should eventually rebound, for now, he looks to be strictly a streaming option for defensive stats in most leagues. He's averaging 1.8 steals and 0.8 blocks in just 20.1 minutes per game over his 12 appearances.

• Thunder's Alex Caruso: Not listed on injury report

  4D ago • By RotoWire

  Caruso (hip) isn't listed on the injury report for Tuesday's game against the Spurs. Caruso missed three straight games due to a sore right hip but will return to action versus San Antonio. However, Tuesday's game is the first half of a back-to-back set, so it's possible the veteran is back in street clothes for Wednesday's home game against the Trail Blazers. With Isaiah Joe (calf) sidelined Tuesday, Caruso's presence will be a big boost to the Thunder, who are coming off a disappointing two-point loss to a Mavericks team without Luka Doncic on Sunday.
