Ruled out for Friday
Caruso (adductor) won't play Friday versus the Pacers, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports.
Analysis
Ajay Mitchell (abdominal) will join Caruso on the sidelines for Friday's game, and Aaron Wiggins (groin) is questionable, so Isaiah Joe could get some time to shine. Caruso's next chance to play will come Sunday versus the Raptors, and for now, he should be considered questionable for that contest.

Won't return Monday
Caruso has been ruled out for the remainder of Monday's game against the Cavaliers due to right groin soreness, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports.
