Ruled out for Saturday
Caruso (hip) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Hornets.
Analysis
The veteran swingman will miss his second consecutive outing while he deals with a left hip strain. Ajay Mitchell, Aaron Wiggins and Kenrich Williams will likely see an uptick in playing time in Caruso's absence.

Won't play Thursday
Caruso has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Pacers due to a left hip strain.
Analysis
Caruso suffered the injury during the fourth quarter of Monday's win over the Wizards and will miss at least one contest, marking his first absence since Dec. 3. In his absence, Ajay Mitchell, Isaiah Joe and Cason Wallace are candidates for a few extra minutes versus Indiana. Caruso's next chance to suit up will come Saturday in Charlotte.

Leaves early Monday
Caruso didn't return to Monday's 123-105 win over the Wizards after exiting with 10:54 remaining in the fourth quarter due to an unspecified injury, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports. He finished with two points, four assists, two rebounds and two steals in 15 minutes.
Analysis
Thunder head coach Mark Daigneault said after the game that Caruso would be evaluated Tuesday before the team provides an update on his status. Caruso is shooting a career-worst 37.7 percent from the field during his first season in Oklahoma City, but he's been a stalwart on the defensive end, with his prowess on that side of the court playing a large part in the Thunder signing him to a four-year, $81.1 million contract extension over the weekend.

Heads to locker room Monday
Caruso (undisclosed) went back to the locker room early in the fourth quarter during Monday's game against the Wizards, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports.
Analysis
Caruso went back to the locker room with 10:54 remaining in the contest, though further details on the issue are unknown. If the 30-year-old is unable to return, he'll finish the game with two points (1-5 FG, 0-2 3Pt), four assists, two rebounds and two steals across 15 minutes. Cason Wallace and Ajay Mitchell will likely pick up the slack the rest of the way if Caruso remains sidelined.

Nabs four-year extension
Caruso agreed to a four-year, $81 million contract extension with the Thunder on Sunday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
Analysis
Caruso is in the midst of the final season of a four-year, $36.98 million deal, but the extension will keep him in the fold with Oklahoma City through the 2028-29 campaign. During his first season with the Thunder, Caruso has seen his playing time dip dramatically along with his shooting efficiency, but he's still proven himself to be on the elite perimeter defenders in the league. In just 20.2 minutes per game through his 19 appearances, Caruso is averaging 1.9 steals and 0.6 blocks.
