Zach LaVine, Alex Caruso Still In Limbo After Shootaround
5 months agoChicago Bulls guards Zach LaVine (foot) and Alex Caruso (toe), who are both listed as questionable, were seen getting shots up at morning shootaround ahead of Tuesday's In-Season Tournament game against the Boston Celtics. The Bulls continue to monitor the right foot soreness of LaVine, who needed to take a seat due to the issue on Nov. 22. The 28-year-old two-time All-Star is logging 22.1 points, 3.4 assists, and 2.5 triples in 35.9 minutes a night, but Patrick Williams would be a candidate to absorb more playing time if LaVine misses Tuesday. Caruso's left toe strain has also been a nagging problem, forcing him to miss a back-to-back set on Nov. 12 and Nov. 13. The 29-year-old disruptive defender has been sneaky good in 9-category fantasy leagues this year, putting forth 9.8 points, 1.6 treys, and 2.1 combined steals and blocks in 24.0 minutes per game. Head coach Billy Donovan would figure to divvy up Caruso's minutes for Jevon Carter and Ayo Dosunmu if he is out.
