‘Where I started,’ Texas A&M alumnus Alex Caruso reflects on Oklahoma City Thunder return

“It’s been nice, some good memories. Obviously, this is where I started my professional career,” Caruso recalled. “So many familiar faces.”

After going undrafted out of Texas A&M in 2016, combo guard Alex Caruso signed his first professional contract with the Oklahoma City Thunder organization after playing for the Philadelphia 76ers in the NBA Summer League.

Less than eight years later, Caruso has returned to wearing Thunder blue, orange and white after being traded to Oklahoma City from Chicago last week.

“It’s been nice, some good memories. Obviously, this is where I started my professional career,” Caruso recalled. “So many familiar faces. The continuity of the organization has been great and I think that’ll really help me ease back into it and get to know my teammates. The facility is still the same so I know where everything is at. I’m just really excited to be here.”

Caruso was traded straight up for point guard Josh Giddey.
