Wed Dec 6 202320:24Alex Caruso Available For Wednesday's Game
Chicago Bulls guard Alex Caruso (toe) is available for Wednesday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. He was considered probable coming into this game, but will officially suit up for this game. He'll be in the starting five and resume his normal role in the rotation. The presence of Caruso will mean less minutes for Ayo Dosunmu in the rotation on Wednesday. Fantasy managers who have Caruso rostered and safely return him to their lineups.

Tue Dec 5 202318:57Alex Caruso Limited Tuesday, Probable Against Hornets
Chicago Bulls guard Alex Caruso (toe), who is officially listed as probable for Wednesday's game versus the Charlotte Hornets, participated in the non-contact parts of Tuesday's practice. A left toe strain has nagged Caruso since mid-November, causing his absence for three games over this span and an early departure from Friday's eventual 124-118 home win over the New Orleans Pelicans. After receiving 2022-23 All-Defensive First Team honors, the 29-year-old Caruso is attaining top-75 value in 9-category fantasy leagues with underrated averages of 9.7 points, 1.7 triples, and 2.2 combined steals plus blocks in 23.4 minutes over 18 games in the Windy City this season. Ayo Dosunmu, who's scored 14 and 15 points respectively in each of his last two showings, would go back to fighting for minutes in head coach Billy Donovan's second unit in Caruso's likely return to the mix on Wednesday against the Hornets.

Thu Nov 30 202310:03Alex Caruso Continues To Nurse Toe Injury
Chicago Bulls guard Alex Caruso (toe) is listed as questionable for another game on Thursday, with the 29-year-old still not fully recovered from a left toe sprain ahead of a matchup against the Bucks. Caruso has battled through the issue but missed one game last week and has also seen less action in his previous two appearances. He was even demoted to a bench role on Tuesday versus Boston. Ayo Dosunmu would be in line for extended minutes if Caruso can't play, although Chicago's injury report is quite lengthy, and there might be plenty of other players who will be expected to step up in a good fantasy matchup against a pacy team that is ranked 23rd in defensive efficiency.

Tue Nov 28 202318:39Zach LaVine, Alex Caruso Both Active Against Celtics
Chicago Bulls guards Zach LaVine (foot) and Alex Caruso (toe) have both been upgraded to available for Tuesday's In-Season Tournament game against the Boston Celtics. The Bulls continue to monitor the right foot soreness of LaVine, but it won't cost him Tuesday's date in Boston. The 28-year-old two-time All-Star is putting up 22.1 points, 3.4 assists, and 2.5 triples in 35.9 minutes per game, and should be locked into all daily season-long lineups. Caruso's left toe strain has also been a lingering issue, but he'll be active in this one to help the 5-13 Bulls try to get back on track after losing seven of their last eight. The 29-year-old remains worth rostering in 9-category fantasy leagues for his defense and overall contributions, collecting 9.8 points, 1.6 triples, and 2.1 combined steals and blocks in 24.0 minutes per game. Patrick Williams figures to head back to head coach Billy Donovan's bench after scoring 20 points in Sunday's start against the Brooklyn Nets.

Tue Nov 28 202315:45Zach LaVine, Alex Caruso Still In Limbo After Shootaround
Chicago Bulls guards Zach LaVine (foot) and Alex Caruso (toe), who are both listed as questionable, were seen getting shots up at morning shootaround ahead of Tuesday's In-Season Tournament game against the Boston Celtics. The Bulls continue to monitor the right foot soreness of LaVine, who needed to take a seat due to the issue on Nov. 22. The 28-year-old two-time All-Star is logging 22.1 points, 3.4 assists, and 2.5 triples in 35.9 minutes a night, but Patrick Williams would be a candidate to absorb more playing time if LaVine misses Tuesday. Caruso's left toe strain has also been a nagging problem, forcing him to miss a back-to-back set on Nov. 12 and Nov. 13. The 29-year-old disruptive defender has been sneaky good in 9-category fantasy leagues this year, putting forth 9.8 points, 1.6 treys, and 2.1 combined steals and blocks in 24.0 minutes per game. Head coach Billy Donovan would figure to divvy up Caruso's minutes for Jevon Carter and Ayo Dosunmu if he is out.

Tue Nov 28 202309:48Alex Caruso Questionable Tuesday
Chicago Bulls guard Alex Caruso (toe) could be absent for a second consecutive game, as the team has listed him as questionable for Tuesday's encounter with the Celtics. The 29-year-old is nursing a toe injury. He was initially able to play through the injury but missed a game against Brooklyn at the weekend. Patrick Williams made his eighth start of the season in Caruso's place, impressing with a season-high 20 points. He could draw another start on Tuesday, although the matchup against the league leaders promises to be a much tougher game, and Williams has lacked consistency throughout his career.

Sun Nov 26 202319:35Alex Caruso Ruled Out Against Nets
Chicago Bulls guard Alex Caruso (toe) has been ruled out of the Sunday night game against the Brooklyn Nets with a left toe strain. He has popped up on the injury report the last handful of games with this same issue but didn't need to miss a game until now. With the 29-year-old on the sidelines, Coby White will likely see some more minutes while Torrey Craig will probably join the starting five again like the last time Caruso was out. Craig would serve as a decent streaming option in deeper leagues, but there are better waiver wire options for smaller leagues.

Wed Nov 22 202309:52Alex Caruso Listed As Probable Wednesday
Chicago Bulls guard Alex Caruso (toe) is considered probable for Wednesday's outing versus the Thunder. He's nursing a left-toe sprain, but the injury hasn't kept him off the court. Caruso has played in four consecutive games, starting each of the last three. The 29-year-old has given fantasy managers a little bit of everything during the stint, with averages of 14.0 points, 2.0 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 1.3 blocks, and 1.7 steals.

Sun Nov 19 202322:45Alex Caruso Probable Again For Monday
Chicago Bulls guard Alex Caruso (toe) picked up another probable status heading into the team's game on Monday night against the Miami Heat. He's dealing with a toe strain but was able to play in their last game on Saturday and rack up 29 minutes on the court. Caruso has been a solid source of defensive stats to go along with average to below-average numbers for the rest of the categories. He's very much in play for 14-team leagues and larger.

Fri Nov 17 202311:01Alex Caruso Likely To Play Against Magic
Chicago Bulls guard Alex Caruso (toe) has been tagged as probable for the team's in-season tournament game against the Orlando Magic on Friday despite dealing with a left toe strain. The 29-year-old was able to return from the injury on Wednesday when he posted 16 points, five rebounds, three assists, and one block which was against the Magic as well. Caruso will probably have a similar showing on Friday night as he's been seeing a bulk of the bench minutes so far. He may even see some added opportunities if DeMar DeRozan (personal) can't suit up again.

Mon Nov 13 202315:57Alex Caruso Doubtful, Patrick Williams Probable Monday
Chicago Bulls guard Alex Caruso (toe) is doubtful and forward Patrick Williams (finger) is probable for Monday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. A left toe strain cost Caruso Sunday's 119-108 win over the Detroit Pistons, and it also looks likely to hold him out on the second leg of Chicago's back-to-back set. Coby White and Ayo Dosunmu should split minutes to some degree at the one for the Bulls in Caruso's expected absence, with White being the preferred fantasy option for Monday's Central Division battle. Williams' left finger sprain gave him a probable tag before suiting up against Detroit, ultimately going scoreless in 19 minutes. Torrey Craig grabbed 10 rebounds in a 30-minute start for head coach Billy Donovan on Sunday, but there isn't much fantasy value to be seen out of the supporting cast on the wings at the moment in the Windy City.

Sun Nov 12 202318:59Alex Caruso Downgraded To Out Against Pistons
Chicago Bulls guard Alex Caruso (toe) has been downgraded from questionable to out on Sunday and will not face the Detroit Pistons. The 29-year-old hasn't missed a game this season up until now. He's played a Swiss-Army knife type of role for the team and has been a very good source of almost every stat category, especially as a very late draft pick. Jevon Carter and Ayo Dosunmu will probably be the two to benefit the most from Caruso's absence and they can be solid streaming options for fantasy managers in deeper leagues.

Sat Nov 11 202318:24Alex Caruso Dealing With A Toe Injury
Chicago Bulls guard Alex Caruso (toe) is questionable for Sunday's meeting with the visiting Pistons. He's battling a left toe strain, although he still managed to amass 19 points, three steals, and two blocks in the Bulls' recent overtime loss to the Phoenix Suns. While Caruso hasn't been a consistent fantasy performer in most statistical areas, he's averaged 1.6 steals this season, meaning category managers would take a hit without him on the floor against Detroit.

Sat Nov 4 202320:44Patrick Williams, Alex Caruso To Play Saturday
Chicago Bulls forward Patrick Williams (finger) and guard Alex Caruso (shoulder) are both available for Saturday's game against the Denver Nuggets. Both players are dealing with lingering injuries, but have been cleared to suit up on Saturday. They should resume their normal roles off the bench with Zach LaVine (back) and DeMar DeRozan (rest) both active for this game as well. That being said, Williams and Caruso have limited upside playing with the second unit, so fantasy managers can probably find better streaming options.

Wed Oct 18 202318:11Alex Caruso Fine After Tweaking Ankle
Chicago Bulls head coach Billy Donovan said on Wednesday that guard Alex Caruso (ankle) participated in practice. Caruso was a bit of a late addition to the injury report ahead of Tuesday's exhibition meeting with the Toronto Raptors after tweaking his ankle in practice leading into that contest, ultimately forcing him out. The 29-year-old defensive menace should have a decent chance to return for Thursday's preseason finale versus the Minnesota Timberwolves, but it's possible Chicago opts to preserve him for Oct. 25's opener vs. the Oklahoma City Thunder. Many eyes within fantasy circles are beginning to fixate on Coby White with Lonzo Ball (knee) set to miss another season, but don't count Caruso out as a late-round fantasy flier in category settings for his ability to chip in all around.

Thu Mar 30 202315:15Alex Caruso Questionable Against Charlotte
Chicago Bulls guard Alex Caruso (foot) is questionable for Friday's contest against Charlotte. He is troubled by a left foot problem and the injury has limited Caruso to only three appearances across the last six games. Patrick Williams has been logging starts in Caruso's absence, while the rest of the backcourt members have a chance to soak in more minutes if Caruso is out of the lineup. Ayo Dosunmu, Patrick Beverley and Coby White have all done well in spurts lately.

Wed Mar 22 202318:36Alex Caruso Will Play Against Philadelphia
Chicago Bulls guard Alex Caruso (foot) will play against the Philadelphia 76ers on Wednesday. Caruso missed Monday's game with foot soreness, but will make his return and should reenter the starting lineup against the Sixers. Patrick Williams should move back to the bench and see a reduced role. If Caruso suffers any setbacks, Williams would be the likely candidate to move back into the starting lineup.

Thu Mar 16 202318:50Alex Caruso Misses Thursday's Practice
Chicago Bulls guard Alex Caruso (illness) was unable to suit up for Thursday's practice, according to head coach Billy Donovan. The 29-year-old is in danger of missing his second straight game after sitting out on Wednesday. The Bulls are likely going to wait and see how Caruso feels closer to game time on Friday. His absence would mean increased playing time for Patrick Beverley, Coby White and Ayo Dosunmu. Fantasy managers should check back on Friday for another update on Caruso.

Wed Mar 15 202318:23Alex Caruso Ruled Out Versus Kings
Chicago Bulls guard Alex Caruso (illness) has been ruled out ahead of Wednesday's game against the Sacramento Kings. Caruso was a late addition to the injury report with a non-COVID illness and will not miss at least one game due to the ailment. Ayo Dosunmu, Patrick Beverley and Coby White should see increased roles on Wednesday. Chicago plays a back-to-back set Friday and Saturday and Caruso will likely be questionable for those games.

Thu Feb 16 202318:30Alex Caruso Listed As Out For Thursday
Chicago Bulls guard Alex Caruso (foot) is listed as out for Thursday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. The 28-year-old did play during Wednesday's game, so possibly the team is giving him the night off because it's the second leg of a back-to-back set. The Bulls will also be without Goran Dragic (knee) for Thursday's game. That means, Ayo Dosunmu and Coby White are going to have significant roles during this game. Both players should be decent streaming options while the Bulls are banged up.
