Caruso said his mindset always is to try to play—-until he can’t. Confirmed it’s his left ankle that’s the issue. – 12:55 AM

Caruso said he just tweaked his right ankle, which was already injured. Hoping to play Friday in Miami. #Bulls – 12:54 AM

Alex Caruso said Andre Drummond stepped on his right foot and then he tried to catch himself with his left ankle and sprained it
He’d been dealing with a left foot injury toward the end of the season – 12:53 AM

So the Bulls might not have Alex Caruso to guard Jimmy Butler, who might not be able to be Jimmy Butler. This is setting up just fine. – 12:24 AM

Friday’s PLAY-IN 8 seed or bust games aren’t likely to include Zion Williamson, Jimmy Butler or Alex Caruso. My numbers for both:
#Pelicans -1 vs. Kings O/U 223 #LightTheBeam
#HEATCulture -3 vs. #SeeRed O/U: 217 – 12:18 AM

Billy Donovan didn’t have much to add on Alex Caruso, whose right foot is sprained after Andre Drummond stepped on it. Caruso didn’t play final 21:43. – 12:16 AM

Caruso hasn’t played since 9:43 mark of 3rd and, at this point, surprise would be if he does return.
If this holds, injury status of Caruso and Jimmy Butler will take center stage. – 11:48 PM

Alex Caruso played just 2 minutes in the 3rdQ, after getting injured in that collision with Drummond in 1stH. Maybe Donovan figures they don’t need him.
#Bulls lead ATL 110-92 after 3Qs. White 28, DeRozan 22, Vuc 20 – 11:35 PM

Caruso landing on only his right leg after snagging that rebound. Clearly not comfortable right now. – 11:06 PM

Refs have been inconsistent with the take foul this year. Obvious one by Caruso but feel like I’ve seen a lot of similar ones not called – 10:46 PM

Caruso went down hard at center court. He’s trying to make it through but looks like he’s in significant pain in his left leg. – 10:23 PM

Hell of a run by the Bulls to close the quarter with a 40-22 lead over the Hawks.
DeMar anchors the offense, Coby delivers on both ends, Caruso bags a couple big defensive plays, Dalen throws down a dunk to close.
Bulls are winning behind the arc (12-3) and in 2nd chance (4-2). – 10:18 PM

Bulls dialing up a play after the free throw to attack Trae Young on defense and get him matched onto DeRozan.
Ram screen for Caruso, who comes to set a screen for DeRozan. Looked like Trae was trying to show and recover to avoid that switch, allowed Caruso to get open for 3. pic.twitter.com/jbjHtb2iB5 – 10:01 PM

KC Johnson: DeMar DeRozan, Nikola Vucevic and Alex Caruso all out vs. Wizards, per Donovan -via Twitter @KCJHoop / April 12, 2024
KC Johnson: Bulls finishing a back-to-back set with seed clinched and their injury report reflects that: Drummond and Dosunmu and Phillips remain out with their injuries, as expected. DeRozan and Vucevic are questionable for rest. Caruso, who hit 65-game minimum, questionable with ankle -via Twitter @KCJHoop / April 12, 2024
