Alex Caruso blocks shot with shoe during game

Alex Caruso of the Thunder made headlines during a game when he attempted to block a shot using his shoe after it slipped off during a defensive play. While holding his shoe, Caruso lunged for the ball as Tristan Da Silva drove to the basket. This unconventional move resulted in a technical foul for illegal defense, as NBA rules do not permit blocking shots with a shoe. Caruso humorously noted that such a bizarre occurrence is unlikely to be seen again anytime soon.
