Thunder's Alex Caruso: Traded to Oklahoma City
Alex Caruso was traded from the Bulls to the Oklahoma City Thunder in exchange for Josh Giddey on Thursday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.After spending the first four years of his career with the Lakers, Caruso played in Chicago over the past three seasons. He had a career-best year during the 2023-24 campaign, averaging 10.1 points, 3.8 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 1.7 steals in 28.7 minutes per game while making 71 regular-season appearances. The 30-year-old will join a talented Thunder squad that finished last season as the No. 1 seed in the Western Conference, and he'll provide a solid shooting presence as long as he can remain healthy during the 2024-25 season. Caruso is entering the final year of his contract, but the Thunder hope to sign him to a long-term extension at some point, per Wojnarowski.

Bulls' Alex Caruso: Likely to be game-time decision
Alex Caruso (ankle), who is questionable for Friday's Play-In Game against the Heat, underwent further evaluation Thursday that revealed reduced swelling, creating increased optimism that he'll be available for the win-or-go-home matchup against Miami, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.Wojnarowski reported Wednesday night that Caruso had sustained a "significant" left ankle sprain against Atlanta, which put his availability for Friday's matchup in doubt. However, the 30-year-old appears to be trending in the right direction and will likely be a game-time decision as the Chicago Bulls attempt to secure the No. 8 seed in the playoffs.

Bulls' Alex Caruso: Dealing with ankle injury
Alex Caruso generated six points (2-3 FG, 2-3 3Pt), two rebounds, two assists and one steal during 17 minutes of Wednesday's 131-116 win over the Hawks. He noted after the game that he sprained his left ankle during the contest, Cody Westerlund of 670TheScore.com reports.Caruso missed portions of the first half after a collision with teammate Andre Drummond. While Caruso managed to return to the game, he was subbed out with 9:43 to play in the third quarter and didn't check back in. Caruso's status is certainly up in the air for Friday's matchup with Miami in the final game of the Play-In Tournament and is worth monitoring ahead of the contest. If Caruso ends up sitting, Javonte Green, Torrey Craig and Dalen Terry would be the main candidates to take on more minutes.
