27 May
Summary
- Alex Caruso sustained a potential ankle injury in Game 5.
- The injury occurred after a foul on Stephon Castle.
- Caruso returned to the bench but has not re-entered the game.
The Oklahoma City Thunder faced an injury concern during Game 5 against the San Antonio Spurs, with guard Alex Caruso appearing to injure his ankle. This potential setback comes as the Thunder were already managing absences of key starters Jalen Williams and Ajay Mitchell. Caruso's injury occurred while he was defending a drive by Stephon Castle. He was observed holding his ankle and briefly exited the game for the locker room.
While Caruso has since returned to the Thunder's bench, his status for the remainder of Game 5 is unconfirmed as he has not yet re-entered play. This development adds another layer of challenge for the Thunder as they navigate their playoff series.
