The recent Chicago Bulls-Milwaukee Bucks clash turned out to be a little more eventful than one expected it to be. The game ended with an injured Alex Caruso – courtesy of Grayson Allen’s foul play during a layup. It goes without saying that fans remain disgruntled with the situation and extremely worried for Caruso’s health.
Though it did injure Caruso, a slightly altered fall could have cost him his career. As a result, NBA fans have been expressing their views on social media and have continued to call out Allen for his controversial play.

Fans blast Grayson Allen on Twitter for his foul play on Alex Caruso
The incident took place in the third period of the game with around 5:45 left on the clock. Caruso tried for a layup after a fast break, only to be halted by Allen. The Bucks guard then ended up turning Caruso in the air, which sent him to the floor. The Bulls star landed on his wrist, and finished the first half with 3 points, shooting 1-of-6 from the field.
Though Caruso complained of his wrist being injured, no one expected a long-term injury. According to recent reports, Caruso’s wrist is broken and will probably require surgery the following week.

I actually like/respect Grayson…although he has deserved all the hate hes received but this might be my last straw. This is a fight on almost any court I've been on and I'd be ready to partake

Where was all this outrage when Chris Paul made absolutely no play on the ball, unlike Grayson, and shoved Giannis in mid air during the NBA finals?

“if someone other than grayson allen” – that’s kind of the point. it’s not like this is his first time committing a foul with intent to injure.

Bruh stop overreacting, Grayson barely impacted the fall

His suspension should be as long as Caruso is out with that injury

EXACTLY. If someone other than Grayson Allen did this it would’ve been looked at as a hard foul. I know reputation is an important factor but this foul is getting blow way out of proportion

keep that same energy when theres a hard foul/hit on Giannis or rodgers.

For what? A hard foul? The nba is the softest it’s ever been. So now we encourage players to let guys attack the basket without being defended. It was a hard foul, sucks what happened. So suspend Horton-tucker for the other night too then.

Coach Billy Donovan on Allen’s play
The Milwaukee Bucks coach seemed to agree with most fans. Caruso’s health – which is a major priority – has been compromised. “For Alex to be in the air and for [Allen] to take him down like that, he could’ve ended his career,” Donovan said, adding that Allen has a history of such plays.

He pushed the league to take some action, especially as this could have severely injured Caruso.
