Chicago Bulls first-round pick and Rookie of the Year candidate Caleb Wilson injured his right hand in the third quarter of Wednesday’s 124-119 loss to the San Antonio Spurs and did not finish the game.
Wilson was hurt when his hand struck the ball while he tried to knock it out of Victor Wembanyama‘s hands. He had entered the game listed as questionable with right hip soreness.
Update Expected Thursday
Bulls coach Tiago Splitter had no update on Wilson after the game. He said the team would know more on Thursday.
Before exiting, Wilson had scored 15 points in 15 minutes, continuing a strong start to his rookie season. Coming into Wednesday, he was averaging 19.3 points, 6.3 rebounds and 1.9 steals in 32.4 minutes per game.
Injury-Hit College Career
Wilson’s collegiate career was cut short by injuries to both hands. A right thumb fracture required surgery and ruled him out of the NCAA men’s tournament.
The Bulls selected Wilson with the No. 4 pick in the 2026 NBA draft.
