Alex Caruso confirmed that he plans to return from a three-game injury absence when the Bulls host the Detroit Pistons on Friday.
As for the shoulder, Caruso's rehab has been"slow and steady." But it culminated with him live scrimmaging against some of the Bulls' low-minutes players and player development coordinators on Thursday, which he said went well.
The Bulls, of course, badly missed Caruso as a defensive linchpin in the starting lineup, particularly as their once better-than-expected defensive rating has slipped to 16th. But they did go 2-1 in his absence with impressive comeback wins over the New York Knicks and Milwaukee Bucks. The latter featured overcoming an 11-point deficit in the final 2:18 of the fourth quarter and eventually winning in overtime.
"Great energy. You feel good for the guys that are out there, because they obviously put a lot into the game. Especially against Milwaukee, you always know they're gonna be a tough team to play regardless of who's in, who's out," Caruso said.
