Chicago Bulls defensive ace Alex Caruso made an early exit during the second quarter of Saturday's game against the Miami Heat due to a foot injury. Even without Caruso for much of the contest, the Bulls managed to beat the Heat by a final score of 113-99 behind 24 points and 10 assists from DeMar DeRozan. Still, when the Bulls visit the Wells Fargo Center on Monday night to play James Harden, Joel Embiid, and the Philadelphia 76ers, every Chicago fan will surely want to know: Is Alex Caruso playing tonight vs. the Sixers?

Alex Caruso injury status vs. Sixers

The Bulls initially listed Caruso as questionable for Monday's showdown due to left mid-foot soreness. However, according to the latest updates, Caruso has been ruled out for the game, per team insider Chuck Swirsky.

Caruso, 29, is in his sixth year in the NBA and second as a member of the storied Bulls franchise. He's averaging 5.6 points, 3.0 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 1.6 steals, and 0.6 blocks per game across 59 appearances this season (28 starts).

The former Texas A&M standout is scoring the ball very efficiently from the field in the 2022-23 campaign, at least by his standards — Caruso's current 44.5% field-goal percentage is tied for the highest of his pro career.

Don't expect the Bulls to steal a win against the Sixers on the road on Monday, especially now that Caruso is not in the lineup. After all, the Sixers are winners of their last eight games.

With regard to the question, Is Alex Caruso playing tonight vs. the Sixers, the answer is no.
