Injury status

Day-To-DayAnkle — LegEst. return Oct 28
Caruso won't return to Monday's game against the Suns due to a right ankle sprain, Marc J. Spears of ESPN.com reports. He'll finish with nine points (3-5 FG, 3-5 3Pt), three assists and two rebounds in nine minutes.
Caruso turned his ankle late in the second quarter and won't return in the second half of this one. With the veteran wing out for the remainder of the contest, Bennet Stirtz and Josh Dix will likely see increased burn. Caruso's status will be worth monitoring ahead of Wednesday's game at Dallas.

How it's counted
Each situation shows this player's numbers in those games, with the difference from their full-season line in parentheses. The definition sits under each situation name. Situations overlap: one game can count in several.
True shooting is one shooting number that folds in threes and free throws; its differences are in points of TS%. Every final box score counts — there is no minutes cutoff. Fewer than 5 games reads as a small sample. These splits describe what happened. They do not prove the schedule caused it.
