Caruso (rest) will be available for Friday's game against the Kings, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports.

EDGE Analysis

Caruso took a seat Wednesday in what was a regularly scheduled off day but will be back on the court for Friday's game. The 31-year-old is averaging 6.4 points, 1.8 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 2.0 steals through his first five games of the new campaign.

Caruso will be rested Wednesday against Portland.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran will get a night off for the second leg of this back-to-back set. Luguentz Dort (shoulder) is also sidelined, so guys like Isaiah Joe, Aaron Wiggins and Ajay Mitchell could see increased run Wednesday.

Caruso totaled zero points (0-5 FG, 0-3 3Pt), two rebounds, two assists and three steals in 17 minutes during Thursday's 127-108 victory over the Wizards.

EDGE Analysis

Although he failed to score, Caruso managed to produce a few steals to keep his fantasy value afloat. Through three appearances, the veteran guard has produced averages of 5.3 points, 2.7 assists, 2.0 rebounds, 2.3 steals, 0.7 blocks and 1.3 three-pointers in 23.5 minutes per night.

Caruso (concussion) is not listed on the injury report for Tuesday's game against the Kings.

EDGE Analysis

Following a three-game absence while in the concussion protocol, the veteran swingman is set to return to the floor. Oklahoma City is still missing Jalen Williams (wrist) and Isaiah Joe (knee), however, so the Thunder could need Caruso to handle significant playing time until they get healthier on the wing.

Caruso (concussion) is out for Monday's game against the Mavericks.

EDGE Analysis

Caruso will miss a third straight game as he remains in concussion protocol. Cason Wallace and Aaron Wiggins will likely see large roles in Caruso's absence.

Caruso has been put in concussion protocol Wednesday, Rylan Stiles of SI.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Caruso is set to miss some time after suffering a concussion in the season-opening win over the Thunder on Tuesday. There is no predetermined timetable for his return to the floor, as he must be symptom-free before resuming basketball activities. Cason Wallace, Isaiah Joe (knee) and Aaron Wiggins could see a boost in minutes in Caruso's absence.

Caruso finished Tuesday's 125-124 double-overtime victory over the Rockets with eight points (3-9 FG, 2-6 3Pt), two rebounds, three assists, one block and two steals in 30 minutes.

EDGE Analysis

Despite coming off the bench, Caruso delivered a typical performance, coming up with some crucial plays on both ends of the floor. While he did manage to log upwards of 30 minutes, the coaching staff would certainly like to limit his playing time most nights, in the hope of preserving him for the backend of the season.

Caruso won't start in Tuesday's game against the Rockets, Lachard Binkley of SI.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Caruso will retreat to the bench after starting in Oklahoma City's final two preseason games. With Jalen Williams (wrist) sidelined, Cason Wallace will get the starting nod in the team's regular-season opener.

Caruso (ankle) is off the Thunder's injury report for Tuesday's game against the Rockets, Rylan Stiles of SI.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Caruso will suit up in the Thunder's regular-season opener after exiting Thursday's preseason finale with an apparent ankle injury. The 31-year-old swingman is expected to receive an uptick in playing time against Houston due to Jalen Williams (wrist) and Isaiah Joe (knee) being sidelined.

Caruso (ankle) totaled three points (1-3 FG, 1-3 3Pt) and one rebound across 11 minutes in Friday's 94-91 preseason win over the Nuggets.

EDGE Analysis

Caruso started in the Thunder's preseason finale Friday but wasn't at his sharpest, making just one shot and committing three turnovers before exiting with an ankle injury, Daniel Bell of BlackSportsOnline.com reports. While details remain limited, there's currently no indication the issue is serious, and an update on his status should come before Tuesday's regular-season opener against the Rockets.
