Alex Caruso Still Not Fully Healthy

Chicago Bulls guard Alex Caruso isn’t healthy, but he won’t miss any games of the first round series against the Milwaukee Bucks. Bulls coach Billy Donovan said Caruso is still dealing with back issues that caused him to miss time during the regular season.

“He’s felt the best I think he has felt. Is he 100%? No, but he’s a lot better than he was those games before he sat out,” Donovan said when asked about limiting Caruso’s minutes. “I do think with Alex (minutes restrictions) going to be somewhat important. I think if you start pushing him with his back up into the high 30s, I don’t think that would be really, really wise. You want to see how he’s feeling in the game.”

Caruso started and played 33 minutes in Chicago’s 93-86 Game 1 loss to Milwaukee. At times, he seemed to be in discomfort, but Caruso played a big part in holding Jrue Holiday and Khris Middleton to a combined 10-of-29 shooting.
