Caruso is no stranger to carry the helmet. He was seen in almost all the matches carrying a headband almost every time he enters the field.
Caruso raised an average of 8.8 points and 2.5 assists per game throughout the playoffs as a Thunder shooting guard. In the regular season, he has an average of 7.1 points and 2.9 rebounds per game in his first season at Oklahoma City after being exchanged from the Chicago Bulls for Josh Giddey.

The intention of the Thunder behind the agreement was to add more defense and athletics to their starting rotation, which helped them close the beginners of Memphis Grizzlies, Denver Nuggets and Timberwolves in the playoffs.
Match 1 of the finals between Indiana and Oklahoma City begins at 8:30 p.m. and will be broadcast on ABC.
