Alex Caruso will underdo surgery on wrist after flagrant foul

This is tough news for Bulls nation.

The Chicago Bulls announced on Saturday that veteran guard Alex Caruso will undergo surgery next week after sustaining a fracture on his right wrist in Friday's loss to the Bucks.

The injury was suffered after Grayson Allen did a flagrant-2 foul last night on a fast break.

Caruso will be re-evaluated in six to eight weeks as they monitor his rehab.

"Dude just grabbed me out of the air," Caruso said after Friday's game. "It's kind of bulls---. I don't know what else you can do about it. I'm just glad that I didn't have any major scary injuries right away."

It appeared to be a very dirty play, and it will be interesting to see if the NBA decides to suspend Allen for at least a few games or more.

Caruso is averaging 8.4 points, 3.9 rebounds, and 3.9 assists per game for the season.
