The Bulls’ Alex Caruso last just under five minutes before reinjuring the left ankle in Thursday’s win, and while the Bulls held on for the win, the hope is Caruso will be back quickly to continue pushing the turnaround.

MIAMI — For just under five glorious minutes Thursday night, it felt like old times. Or, at least it felt like last week, when the Bulls were on a four-game winning streak, playing with an identity in large part because of guard Alex Caruso.

Then it happened. Caruso, who had missed the previous two games with an injury to his left ankle, again felt it go when center Nikola Vucevic accidentally stepped on it.
