Chicago Bulls guard Alex Caruso is expected to be out of action for at least six weeks with a fractured wrist, and the player who caused the injury will miss one game.
According to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski , the Milwaukee Bucks’ Grayson Allen received a one-game suspension from the NBA on Sunday. The decision came two days after Allen fouled Caruso hard at the rim, causing the Bulls guard to slam into the floor.

While it was originally ruled a regular foul, officials reviewed the play and upgraded it to a flagrant two, ejecting Allen from the game.
After the game, Bulls coach Billy Donovan blasted Allen for the play, calling it “really dangerous” and telling reporters that it “could have ended [Caruso’s] career.”
Allen was acquired by the Bucks in an August trade with the Memphis Grizzlies. He has averaged a career-high 28.1 minutes per game with Milwaukee and is averaging 11.8 points and 3.4 rebounds per game.
