ESPN’s Shams Charania said the rookie fractured his right hand and will need surgery after leaving Wednesday’s loss to San Antonio.
- Chicago Bulls rookie Caleb Wilson was diagnosed Thursday with a fractured right hand sustained Wednesday against the San Antonio Spurs and will undergo surgery, sidelining him four to six weeks.
- During the third quarter Wednesday, Wilson's right hand struck Victor Wembanyama's elbow while attempting a defensive play on the Spurs forward, forcing him to exit the game immediately.
- This marks Wilson's third hand fracture of 2026; physical therapist Dr. Evan Jeffries described the sequence as unusual, noting the rookie previously suffered hand injuries while playing for the University of North Carolina.
- Head coach Tiago Splitter must now rely on frontcourt players Patrick Williams and Leonard Miller for additional minutes as the 1-9 Chicago Bulls lose their leading rookie to injury.
- Wilson is not expected to return until at least the second week of December, leaving the struggling Bulls to maintain their season without their most promising player during his recovery.
