Caruso exited Game 4 on Sunday after Bucks backup guard Jevon Carter landed an elbow to his face with 1:44 remaining before halftime. Caruso was attempting to fight over a screen set by Giannis Antetokounmpo in the second quarter.

Carter's left arm swung as he accelerated to get clear of defenders and appeared to inadvertently drill Caruso, who instantly fell to the floor. Carter was called for an offensive foul.

The former NBA champion with Los Angeles Lakers would join team's star Zach LaVine (health and safety protocols) and Lonzo Ball (knee) on the team's list of unavailable guards.

Chicago is facing an elimination game against the Bucks, trailing the first-round series 3-1 following Sunday's blowout defeat at United Center.
