Alex Caruso will practice in full contact with the team Friday, Williams partial contact. Lonzo Ball was not a scan candidate with the knee, so is still ramping up his rehab. Caruso has stayed in great shape, so should come along quickly. – 12:10 PM

If I had to guess the order of the returns Caruso is definitely first, Lonzo Ball might be last. Still working on lateral running and increasing his workload. He’s had to be backed off workouts several times, which is pretty normal. – 5:04 PM

Alex Caruso, Patrick Williams and Lonzo Ball all flew back to Chicago today for their individual workouts. Caruso and Williams have not been cleared for contact practice until latest bone scans are done and results looked at by specialist, per coach Billy Donovan. – 5:01 PM
