Collects three stocks in win
Caruso ended with seven points (2-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-3 FT), three rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one steal across 24 minutes during Friday's 117-116 win over Memphis.
Analyse
Caruso moved around well in his return from a two-game stint on the sidelines, so barring a setback, he should be fine for Sunday's game against the Heat. This was Caruso's fourth game of the season with at least one steal and one block, and his sixth perfect performance at the charity stripe.

Available to play
Caruso (back) is available for Friday's game in Memphis.
Analyse
With Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (ankle) and Cason Wallace (toe) sitting out Friday's game, Caruso may see some extended minutes and could take on a more sizable role on offense. The ninth-year veteran is averaging 6.0 points, 2.1 assists and 1.5 steals per game this season.

Could be cleared for Friday
Caruso (back) is questionable for Friday's game against the Grizzlies, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports.
Analyse
Caruso has missed OKC's last two matchups while dealing with back soreness. He'll likely see how he fares in shootaround and warmups before a final decision is made on his availability for Friday.

Won't play Wednesday
Caruso (back) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against Utah.
Analyse
Caruso will miss his second straight outing due to lower back soreness, and his next chance to play will come Friday against the Grizzlies. With the veteran swingman sidelined, Aaron Wiggins, Cason Wallace and Isaiah Joe are candidates for increased playing time.

Won't play Monday
Caruso is listed out for Monday's game against the Hornets due to low back soreness.
Analyse
After playing 20 minutes in Sunday's loss in Phoenix, Caruso is sitting out the second half of a back-to-back set. The veteran swingman's absence opens up some extra playing time for the likes of Luguentz Dort, Aaron Wiggins and Cason Wallace.
