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.
