Tue Dec 19 202321:45Alex Caruso Probable For Wednesday
Chicago Bulls guard Alex Caruso (ankle) is currently listed as probable for Wednesday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. Caruso continues to deal with a lingering left ankle sprain. Ayo Dosunmu started during Monday's game despite Caruso being active. However, Caruso still played starter minutes, but came off the bench. If healthy, Caruso should continue seeing big minutes in the rotation. Otherwise, Dosunmu would likely see an extended look if Caruso sits out on Wednesday.

Mon Dec 18 202318:51Alex Caruso Will Suit Up Against 76ers
Chicago Bulls guard Alex Caruso (ankle) has been upgraded on the injury report and will take the floor against the Philadelphia 76ers on Monday. Since he's been out, Ayo Dosunmu took over in the starting lineup and he was seeing some heavy minutes in the process. Now that Caruso is back, however, Dosunmu will likely head back to the bench and see a huge cut in his minutes. Caruso should be valuable enough to play in most fantasy leagues while Dosunmu gets downgraded to the deeper leagues.

Mon Dec 18 202316:10Alex Caruso Trending Positively Monday
Chicago Bulls guard Alex Caruso (ankle), who is questionable on Monday against the Philadelphia 76ers, was at morning shootaround. Caruso tends to play with reckless abandon, and he just hasn't been able to consistently stay on the floor this season. The disruptive defender exited last Thursday's game against the Miami Heat after five minutes of play with a sprained left ankle following a two-game absence, later missing Saturday's rematch with the Heat with the injury altogether. Caruso, averaging 9.3 points, 1.6 threes, and 2.0 combined steals and blocks this year, hasn't benefitted from Zach LaVine's (foot) extended absence very much. Coby White has pulled away when it comes to dominating minutes at the point in the Windy City without Lonzo Ball (knee), while Ayo Dosunmu and Jevon Carter would soak up more run if Caruso can't play on Monday,

Mon Dec 18 202309:21Alex Caruso Collects Another Questionable Tag Monday
Chicago Bulls guard Alex Caruso (ankle) is listed as questionable for Monday's matchup against Philadelphia. He's played only five minutes across the last four games and is trying to return from a left ankle sprain. Assuming he's out again, Ayo Dosunmu should have another busy night as a starter. He logged 41 minutes last timeout against Miami, although Dosunmu continues to be relatively unproductive during his time on the court and recorded only eight points on Saturday.

Sat Dec 16 202309:11Alex Caruso Questionable Saturday
Chicago Bulls guard Alex Caruso (ankle) is considered questionable for Saturday's matchup against Miami. He aggravated an ankle issue a few days ago against the Heat, playing only five minutes. Now, Caruso could be out of action entirely for a third time in four games. Ayo Dosunmu has been his replacement in the starting unit during Caruso's health issues. He tends to be an unproductive player in fantasy hoops, but Dosunmu enjoyed Thursday's outing against the Heat with a season-high 24 points, six rebounds, and five assists.

Thu Dec 14 202320:27Alex Caruso Uncertain To Return
Chicago Bulls guard Alex Caruso (ankle) is uncertain to return to Thursday's game against the Miami Heat. Caruso had missed the last two games prior to Thursday's game with a left ankle sprain. It appears Caruso re-aggravated his ankle less than five minutes into Thursday's contest. The Bulls are unlikely to push anything and will probably let Caruso sit out the rest of the game. Ayo Dosunmu should see extended run going forward if Caruso is forced to miss more time.

Thu Dec 14 202309:36Alex Caruso Questionable Thursday
Chicago Bulls guard Alex Caruso (ankle) is regarded as questionable for Thursday's matchup against Miami. He's in danger of missing a third straight contest with a left ankle sprain. Ayo Dosunmu has moved to the starting five as Caruso's replacement and should continue to play a larger role on Thursday night if he can't return. However, Dosunmu has offered very little fantasy-wise despite the extended minutes, and managers should look elsewhere.

Sun Dec 10 202323:01Alex Caruso Considered Questionable Versus Bucks
Chicago Bulls guard Alex Caruso (ankle) has been tagged as questionable against the Milwaukee Bucks on Monday. He was unable to finish their last game on Friday against the Spurs after he sprained his left ankle. Caruso only played 18 minutes that night and it seems like it hasn't had time to fully heal just yet. Fantasy managers counting on Caruso will likely have to wait closer to game-time as they'll probably have him test it out in shootaround. If he's unable to suit up, Ayo Dosunmu and Torrey Craig will be the ones to see added time with one of them moving into the starting five.

Sat Dec 9 202306:48Alex Caruso Fails To Complete Friday's Game
Chicago Bulls guard Alex Caruso sprained his left ankle against the Spurs on Friday and couldn't complete the game. He had four points in 18 minutes with three rebounds, two assists, and one steal. It was a typical Caruso performance, but unfortunately, the hard-working guard picked up a new injury after already carrying a left toe problem. Ayo Dosunmu got close to a 30-minute shift without Caruso on Friday and will be a natural replacement for him in the starting five if Caruso can't play on Monday versus Milwaukee. However, Dosunmu generally can't match Caruso's effectiveness and numbers.

Fri Dec 8 202315:10Alex Caruso Expected To Play On Friday
Chicago Bulls guard Alex Caruso (toe) has been officially listed as probable for the team's Friday night game against the San Antonio Spurs. He's been dealing with the toe issue for a couple of weeks now and has only missed a couple of games from it so far. Since he's in line to play, he'll be a solid contributor in very deep leagues, but he'll also take precedence over guys such as Ayo Dosunmu and Jevon Carter. Caruso's true value comes in category formats as he can give a bit of everything in each game.

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

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

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.
