Bulls' Alex Caruso: Warming up Tuesday
Rotowire
Caruso (toe) is present at shootaround and remains questionable for Tuesday's game against Boston, K.C. Johnson of NBC Sports Chicago reports.

Bulls' Alex Caruso: Tweaks left foot Friday
Rotowire
Bulls head coach Billy Donovan said after Friday's 121-108 loss to the Raptors that Caruso exited the contest after getting his left foot stepped on and didn't return because he wasn't "feeling great," K.C. Johnson of NBC Sports Chicago reports. Caruso finished with seven points (2-3 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds and one assist over 18 minutes.
Caruso left the game for good with 7:35 to play in the third quarter after teammate Coby White inadvertently stepped on his foot. While Donovan noted that Caruso was hurting, the coach also said that the Bulls' deficit at the time factored into the decision to keep Caruso on the bench for the final quarter. Caruso should be considered day-to-day heading into Sunday's game against the Nets.

Bulls' Alex Caruso: Another strong performance
Rotowire
Caruso notched 13 points (4-10 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal across 27 minutes during Monday's 118-100 loss to the Heat.
Caruso produced on both ends of the floor once again, scoring in double figures for the sixth consecutive game. He has started in each of the last three games, moving himself firmly into the discussion as a pickup option in 12-team, eight- and nine-category leagues. Though durability is a concern for Caruso and he doesn't score at a high enough of a volume to make for an appealing option in most 12-team points leagues, his ability to chip in across the board while shooting at a high percentage from the field has helped keep his fantasy value afloat.
