Alex Caruso
Alex Caruso of the Chicago Bulls has cleared the NBA’s Health and Safety Protocols. Caruso has been one of the brightest spots for the new Chicago Bulls, who currently have the best record (27-14, 5th best in the league) in the Eastern Conference. Caruso last played in the December 20th game against the Houston Rockets.
Caruso sprained his left foot against the Rockets in the first quarter of the game. He was ruled out for 7-10 days and missed the remaining December schedule. Then, on January 5th, Caruso entered into NBA’s Health and Safety Protocols. Now, Caruso is cleared and all set to come back. However, KC Johnson from NBC Sports Chicago reports that Caruso will miss the Monday game against the Memphis Grizzlies, but is likely to play Wednesday.

Caruso will be happily welcomed as the Bulls will not Zach Lavine (due to left knee injury) for at least a few games. Fortunately, for the Bulls, Lavine has no structural damage in his left knee. Bulls are already missing some valuable pieces in Javonte Green, who recently went out to a groin injury. Derrick Jones Jr. and Patrick Williams will also miss a significant time this season.
