Thunder's Alex Caruso: Good to go Monday
Caruso (hand) will play Monday against the Pelicans.
Caruso was initially listed as questionable after picking up this injury in Saturday's win over Charlotte. He's no longer on the injury report, however, and he's likely to see his usual minutes. Through 10 games, he's averaging 18.3 minutes per contest with 5.8 points, 2.4 assists, 2.1 rebounds and 1.9 steals.

Thunder's Alex Caruso: Won't return Saturday
Caruso has been ruled out for the rest of Saturday's game against the Hornets due to right hand soreness, Marc J. Spears of ESPN.com reports.
Caruso went to the locker room in the first quarter due to a hand injury that is severe enough for the veteran guard to not return to Saturday's game. Isaiah Joe and Ajay Mitchell are poised to see more minutes off the bench for the rest of the contest in Caruso's absence.

Thunder's Alex Caruso: Strong line in 17 minutes
Caruso closed Wednesday's 121-92 victory over the Lakers with 10 points (4-7 FG, 2-3 3Pt), four rebounds, three assists and two steals over 17 minutes.
Caruso's per-minute production remains elite, but his workload leaves a lot to be desired. Similar to the 2024-25 season, the Thunder keep his minutes down in order to keep him fresh for the playoffs because he's had problems staying healthy in the past. Through nine games, Caruso is on pace for 10th-round value in nine-category formats in 20.9 minutes per contest.

Thunder's Alex Caruso: Scoreless in 17 minutes
Caruso totaled zero points (0-5 FG, 0-3 3Pt), two rebounds, two assists and three steals in 17 minutes during Thursday's 127-108 victory over the Wizards.
Although he failed to score, Caruso managed to produce a few steals to keep his fantasy value afloat. Through three appearances, the veteran guard has produced averages of 5.3 points, 2.7 assists, 2.0 rebounds, 2.3 steals, 0.7 blocks and 1.3 three-pointers in 23.5 minutes per night.

Thunder's Alex Caruso: Removed from injury report
Caruso (concussion) is not listed on the injury report for Tuesday's game against the Kings.
Following a three-game absence while in the concussion protocol, Caruso is set to return to the floor. Oklahoma City is still missing Jalen Williams (wrist) and Isaiah Joe (knee), however, so the Thunder could need Caruso to handle significant playing time until they get healthier in the backcourt and on the wing.

Thunder's Alex Caruso: In concussion protocol
Caruso has been put in concussion protocol Wednesday, Rylan Stiles of SI.com reports.
Caruso is set to miss some time after suffering a concussion in the season-opening win over the Thunder on Tuesday. There is no predetermined timetable for his return to the floor, as he must be symptom-free before resuming basketball activities. Cason Wallace, Isaiah Joe (knee) and Aaron Wiggins could see a boost in minutes in Caruso's absence.

Thunder's Alex Caruso: Strong two-way performance
Caruso finished Tuesday's 125-124 double-overtime victory over the Rockets with eight points (3-9 FG, 2-6 3Pt), two rebounds, three assists, one block and two steals in 30 minutes.
Despite coming off the bench, Caruso delivered a typical performance, coming up with some crucial plays on both ends of the floor. While he did manage to log upwards of 30 minutes, the coaching staff would certainly like to limit his playing time most nights in the hope of preserving him for the backend of the season.
