Giddey, who is entering the final year of his rookie contract, averaged 12.3 points, 6.4 rebounds and 4.8 assists per game last season as OKC won 57 regular-season games and advanced to the Western Conference semifinals.

Caruso, a seven-year NBA veteran, spent the 2016-17 season with the OKC Blue in the NBA G League, where he played for current Thunder coach Mark Daigneault.
