The Bulls’ success has been fronted by Zach LaVine, DeMar DeRozan and Nikola Vucevic, but it’s been driven by a total team effort and two-way commitment up and down the roster. One offseason signing, which helped to establish that culture, was guard Alex Caruso.

But a tweaked hamstring will cost Caruso the remainder of Saturday’s game at the very least, with the Bulls ruling him out after just 8 minutes of playing time against Brooklyn.

Caruso totaled 6 points, a rebound and a steal before his injury exit.
