Alex Caruso skips sister’s wedding

On Thursday, two days before the wedding, he made his decision and texted his family: He would skip it. He had friends record “basically the whole event” and send him video, he said. He spent his downtime over the weekend watching the footage in his room. “There were some people that should have had masks on that didn’t,” Caruso said of the wedding. “I would say 75% of the people had them on. Texas and Florida — they can kind of be their own countries at times. Some people just like to do their own thing.” He could not FaceTime into the wedding because the reception wasn’t good enough, he said. He said he is sad but at peace with his choice. “If I was on a team that didn’t have title aspirations — a team trying to hold on to the No. 8 seed or something — it might have been different,” Caruso said. “But we have worked too hard.”
