Bulls guard Alex Caruso said he was lucky to avoid serious injury after crashing to the ground during a flagrant-2 foul by Grayson Allen on Friday.
In the third quarter of the Bulls 94–90 loss to the Bucks, Allen was ejected from the game after he pulled Caruso out of his leap toward the basket during a fast break.
Replay video of the foul appeared to show Caruso's head hit the ground after Allen swiped at Caruso after the initial contact, throwing Caruso off balance even further.
“Went up, was going to try to two-hand flush, a little dunk in transition,” Caruso said during his postgame press conference.
