Oklahoma City lost Alex Caruso to a right ankle sprain during Monday's game against Phoenix. The Thunder were already thin at guard, and losing Caruso removes a key perimeter defender and secondary ball handler from their rotation. Caruso gives them spacing and toughness on both ends. The injury timeline remains unclear, but it lands at a tough moment for a team fighting for playoff position. OKC will need to lean harder on their remaining guards while Caruso recovers. That's a real hit to their depth.
