What he won’t throw himself into? Concerns that he’s a trade piece. “They also said I was getting traded in December,’’ Caruso said of the rumor mill. “I lived in LA for four years [playing for the Lakers], and that’s kind of what happens there. You just play basketball games and be a good teammate until something changes, and if nothing changes you just keep doing what you’re doing.’’
Christian Clark: Brandon Ingram and CJ McCollum are OUT tonight in Milwaukee, Pelicans say.

Marc Stein: I would classify Gary Trent Jr as the most likely Raptor to be moved, but I don’t know if the Raptors have this appetite to make trades that is hoped for by rival teams.
Marc Stein: There’s a string of teams that would love to get in the mix for Kyle Kuzma but the Wizards keep telling people, ‘No, we are going to re-sign him, we are going to keep him.’
