Alex Caruso is an American basketball player who plays for the Oklahoma City Thunder in the NBA as of March 2025. He is known for being one of the best two-way point guards in the NBA. Hailing from College Station, Texas, Caruso's basketball journey began at A&M Consolidated High School, where he earned several accolades, including TABC All-Regional, All-State, TABC All-Star, and district MVP. After high school, Caruso played college ball for the Texas A&M Aggies. Over his four-year collegiate career spanning 137 games, Caruso showcased his versatility by averaging 8.0 points, 4.7 assists, and 2.0 steals per game. He finished as the all-time leader in assists (649) and steals (276) for the Aggies.

Despite going undrafted in the 2016 NBA draft, Caruso played for the summer league for the Philadelphia 76ers in 2016. In 2017, the Lakers signed him for the Summer League, where he helped the team to win the NBA Summer League. However, Caruso became the first player to go directly from the D-League to the G-League and later sign a two-way contract. His consistent performances led to him becoming a key bench player for the Lakers, who won the 2020 NBA title. Caruso played for the Chicago Bulls for three seasons and was traded to the Oklahoma City Thunder in June 2024. He was the team's key player from the bench to lead them to the NBA Cup Finals in 2024.
