Surgery and Timeline
The Chicago Bulls will send rookie Caleb Wilson for surgery on his fractured right hand. He is expected to miss four to six weeks. Wilson hurt the hand in the third quarter of a 124-119 loss when he reached in to knock the ball away. He could not return to finish the contest.
Strong Start to Season
Wilson had been a positive during the Bulls' 1-9 start. The 20-year-old was posting 18.9 points, 6.2 rebounds and 1.9 assists while shooting 42 percent across his first 10 games. As the No. 4 pick in the 2026 draft, he had quickly become a focal point for the young roster.
Prior Hand Injuries
Wilson dealt with similar issues during his single season at North Carolina. He needed surgery on a broken right thumb and missed the NCAA tournament. He also sat out six games that year after breaking a bone in his left hand.
