Another absence coming
Caruso is out for Tuesday's game against the Pelicans with a right adductor strain.
Analysis
Caruso will be sidelined for a fourth straight contest and carries no clear timetable for a return to the floor. With Oklahoma City also missing Ajay Mitchell (abdomen), Luguentz Dort, Isaiah Joe and Aaron Wiggins should all see enough playing time on the wing to warrant streaming consideration.

Out again Sunday
Caruso (adductor) won't play Sunday versus the Raptors.
Analysis
Caruso will miss his third straight game due to a right adductor strain. Cason Wallace, Isaiah Joe and Luguentz Dort will be asked to help fill the void in Caruso's absence.

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.
