Chicago Bulls guard Alex Caruso sustained multiple injuries during a play-in game against the Hawks after colliding with teammate Andre Drummond. Initially, Caruso suffered a significant right foot sprain when Drummond stepped on his foot. Despite briefly leaving the game and returning, Caruso exited in the third quarter due to a re-aggravated significant left ankle sprain, and a significant left knee sprain was also reported. His availability for the upcoming game against Miami, with the 8th seed on the line, is in doubt.

Caruso hasn't played since 9:43 mark of 3rd and, at this point, surprise would be if he does return. If this holds, injury status of Caruso and Jimmy Butler will take center stage.
And right on cue, Javonte Green in for Caruso, who is clearly not moving right. https://t.co/tW3gTe5i9l
Caruso landing on only his right leg after snagging that rebound. Clearly not comfortable right now.
Caruso isn't right. He just grimaced as he jumped for that rebound.

Alex Caruso just got run over by Andre Drummond at halfcourt and is hobbling around.
Caruso makes an incredible steal but is upset because he didn’t get the time out call. However, he must have clear possession of the ball in order to be granted a time out. Replay makes it clear he didn’t have that. https://t.co/QV3h7RdaNp
Caruso is special on the defensive side of the ball.
This was great defense from Caruso. https://t.co/lx0roUKjj9
