Nov 12 (Field Level Media) – Caleb Wilson is out 4-6 weeks ​with a fractured hand, ‌likely leaving the Chicago Bulls without their prized lottery pick until Christmas.

Wilson injured his hand in the third ‌quarter ​of Chicago’s 124-119 ⁠loss to the ⁠San Antonio Spurs on Wednesday. Wilson reached to poke the ball away from Victor Wembanyama ​but contacted his elbow and quickly pulled his right ⁠hand back writhing ⁠in pain.

The loss to ​the Spurs dropped the Bulls to ​1-9 this season. Chicago blew ‌a 22-point lead.

Wilson is averaging 18.9 points, 6.2 rebounds and 1.9 assists per game for ⁠the Bulls, who drafted the North Carolina forward No. 4 in the 2026 ⁠NBA ‌Draft.

As a freshman last ⁠season at North Carolina, ​Wilson ‌had injuries to both ​hands. He ⁠hurt his left hand in February and then suffered a season-ending right thumb injury in March while dunking in practice.
