Alex Caruso DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

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.

Oklahoma City Thunder guard/forward Alex Caruso (ankle) will not feature in Wednesday's clash against the Memphis Grizzlies. He sprained his left ankle on Monday in a game against the Houston Rockets and will be sidelined for already the 24th time this season. Fortunately for the Thunder, Isaiah Joe (back) is ready to return from a two-game absence. Aaron Wiggins (thumb) may also help cover some of Caruso's minutes if he is cleared for action. The team has listed Wiggins as questionable.
