The Chicago Bulls take on the Washington Wizards on Friday night in a rematch of their closely fought clash from the previous week. They played that contest without guard Alex Caruso, who's missed the last six games thus far. The question fans may be asking: Is Alex Caruso playing against the Wizards?
Is Alex Caruso Playing vs. Wizards
Alex Caruso was poised to return to the Bulls lineup following a spell on the injury list due to a sprained left foot suffered during their December 20 contest against the Houston Rockets.
However, just as he looked ready to go following a near three week absence, the Bulls guard suffered another setback of the health and safety protocols variety.
Bulls injury report vs. Wizards: Alex Caruso, Tyler Cook (ankle), Javonte Green (groin) and Patrick Williams (wrist) are out. Caruso is only player in protocols. Other injuries have been detailed previously. So pretty clean report overall.

While Caruso has been an integral part of the team's success in the first half of the season, they've done just fine without him. The Bulls have won all six games that he has missed and are currently own the longest active winning streak in the NBA at eight games.
That, however, doesn't mean they don't need him back in the lineup. But with Alex Caruso being reported as entering the Covid-19 health and safety protocols on January 6th, expect him to miss quite a few more games for Chicago.
