Chicago Bulls rookie Caleb Wilson will undergo surgery for a fractured right hand and miss four to six weeks, sources told ESPN's Shams Charania.
Wilson injured his hand during the third quarter of Wednesday's 124-119 loss to the San Antonio Spurs when he tried to knock the ball out of Victor Wembanyama's hands. Wilson did not finish the game.
Wilson, the No. 4 pick in the 2026 draft, had been one of the bright spots for the Bulls during a 1-9 start overall for Chicago. The 20-year old rookie was averaging 18.9 points, 6.2 rebounds and 1.9 assists on 42% shooting in his first 10 games.
During his lone season at North Carolina, Wilson's missed the NCAA tournament after he required surgery to repair a broken right thumb. He also missed six games in college with a broken bone in his left hand.
