Bulls guard Alex Caruso hurt himself in practice

Bulls coach Billy Donovan is using the last two preseason games as a ramp-up ahead of the regular-season opener against the Oklahoma City Thunder.

“My goal would be to try to get those guys relatively close to 30 minutes tonight,” Donovan said pregame. “Then the Minnesota game would be pretty close to a full rotation, maybe not quite full game minutes, but certainly close.”

With a five-day break between the last preseason game on Thursday against the Timberwolves and the season opener, Donovan said the teams will use those days to practice.
