On Tuesday's road matchup against the Orlando Magic, the veteran guard used his left shoe to swat away Tristan Da Silva's layup with 4:06 left in the second quarter.
Smiling from the play he made, the All-Defensive guard was subsequently assessed with a technical foul by the officials for his intriguing act.
Usage of a shoe or any other material object for a play is categorically an "unsportsmanlike" action as deemed by the NBA, which results in an automatic technical assessment.
This season, Caruso is averaging 6.7 points, 2.7 rebounds and 2.0 assists. The 32-year-old is a two-time All-Defensive Team member.
