Thunder's Alex Caruso: Starting Wednesday
Caruso will start in Wednesday's preseason matchup with the Bucks, Brandon Rahbar of DailyThunder.com reports.
The 32-year-old veteran did not suit up for Tuesday's preseason opener for maintenance reasons, but he's set to make his preseason debut Wednesday evening. He will likely have some minutes restrictions for the exhibition, though.

Thunder's Alex Caruso: Good to go Wednesday
Caruso (rest) is set to play in Wednesday's preseason game against the Bucks, Justin Martinez of The Oklahoman reports.
Caruso sat out the Thunder's preseason opener but is set to return Wednesday. The veteran swingman saw a slight dip in playing time last season, averaging 6.2 points, 2.8 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.3 steals in 18.2 minutes per game across 56 regular-season appearances.

Thunder's Alex Caruso: Taking Tuesday off
Caruso will not play in Tuesday's preseason opener against the Pelicans, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports.

Thunder's Alex Caruso: Feeling healthy
Caruso is feeling healthy at training camp, per Clemente Almanza of USA Today.
"I mean, Day 3 of training camp's the third-best day you're going to feel all year besides Day 2 and Day 1," Caruso said Friday. The veteran swingman made zero starts for the Thunder a season ago and has made three altogether since joining Oklahoma City in 2024-25, but he should at least remain a strong source of steals for fantasy managers in category-driven leagues for 2026-27. Despite never logging at least 30 minutes per game, Caruso has averaged at least one steal in each year of his career besides his rookie campaign.

Thunder's Alex Caruso: Larger role incoming?
According to Bryan Toporek of Forbes, Oklahoma City's offseason salary-saving moves resulted in the departures of Isaiah Joe, Aaron Wiggins and Luguentz Dort.
Caruso's defensive versatility and championship experience should make him an even more valuable part of the Thunder's rotation, though he'll continue to share minutes with Cason Wallace, Ajay Mitchell and rookie Jared McCain. Caruso's fantasy value should remain strongest in leagues that reward defensive production.

Thunder's Alex Caruso: Shooting struggles in Game 7 defeat
Caruso had 12 points (3-14 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 5-6 FT), five rebounds, four assists and one block over 39 minutes during Saturday's 111-103 loss to the Spurs in Game 7 of the Western Conference Finals.
Caruso entered Saturday's win-or-go-home contest having connected on 55.7 percent of his three-point attempts over the first six games of the series, but he was unable to carry that efficiency into Game 7. His 39 minutes of playing time were his most since the start of the regular season and second most on the Thunder behind Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (43 minutes). Caruso scored in double digits in five of seven games of the series and will end the Western Conference Finals having averaged 14.9 points, 2.6 assists, 2.4 rebounds, 1.3 steals, 0.9 blocks and 2.9 threes over 26.1 minutes per game. Caruso has been a key piece to the Thunder's success since being acquired from the Bulls during the 2024 offseason and is under contract with Oklahoma City for two more seasons.

Thunder's Alex Caruso: Strikes for 22 in Tuesday's win
Caruso closed with 22 points (5-10 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 8-8 FT), two rebounds, six assists and three steals over 28 minutes off the bench during Tuesday's 127-114 win over the Spurs in Game 5 of the Western Conference Finals.
The veteran forward was the only member of the OKC bench to score more than eight points, and Caruso was second in scoring on the team behind Shai Gilgeous-Alexander's game-high 32 points. It was an impressive bounce-back effort from Caruso after he was held scoreless in Game 4. During the WCF, he's averaging 17.0 points, 3.6 threes, 2.8 assists, 2.4 boards, 1.6 steals and 1.0 blocks in just 24.6 minutes while shooting a blistering 56.8 percent from the floor and 58.1 percent from beyond the arc.

Caruso appeared to roll his ankle earlier in the quarter before leaving for the locker room. However, he returned to the bench shortly thereafter and appears to be good to go for the remainder of the contest after checking back in.
