There will be a plan in place to try to keep Bulls guard Alex Caruso as healthy as possible this season — crash helmet not included.
That’s because Caruso’s playing style too often is better suited for a gladiator arena than the hardwood. With that comes collateral damage. Unfortunately, it has come at Caruso’s expense far too often.
A quick glance at his injury report since 2020 reads like an anatomy class. There’s a neck, then a wrist, then a few days in the health-and-safety protocols, then a hand, then a concussion.
In Caruso’s first year with the Bulls, he was dinged with wrist, ankle and hamstring injuries during the first half of the season.
