Good to go Monday

Analysis
Caruso was initially listed as questionable after picking up this injury in Saturday's win over Charlotte. He's no longer on the injury report, however, and he's likely to see his usual minutes. Through 10 games, he's averaging 18.3 minutes per contest with 5.8 points, 2.4 assists, 2.1 rebounds and 1.9 steals.

Questionable against Pelicans
Caruso (hand) is questionable for Monday's game against the Pelicans.

Won't return Saturday
Caruso has been ruled out for the rest of Saturday's game against the Hornets due to right hand soreness, Marc J. Spears of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis
Caruso went to the locker room in the first quarter due to a hand injury that is severe enough for the veteran guard to not return to Saturday's game. Isaiah Joe and Ajay Mitchell are poised to see more minutes off the bench for the rest of the contest in Caruso's absence.

Strong line in 17 minutes
Caruso closed Wednesday's 121-92 victory over the Lakers with 10 points (4-7 FG, 2-3 3Pt), four rebounds, three assists and two steals over 17 minutes.
Analysis
Caruso's per-minute production remains elite, but his workload leaves a lot to be desired. Similar to the 2024-25 season, the Thunder keep his minutes down in order to keep him fresh for the playoffs because he's had problems staying healthy in the past. Through nine games, Caruso is on pace for 10th-round value in nine-category formats in 20.9 minutes per contest.
