Chicago Bulls rookie Caleb Wilson is set to undergo surgery for a fractured right hand and is expected to miss four to six weeks, according to sources cited by multiple outlets. Reports also describe him leaving Wednesday’s loss to the San Antonio Spurs after injuring his right hand and not finishing the game.
Several stories connect the injury to earlier setbacks in Wilson’s basketball career. The Athletic adds that he already missed significant time during his only college season, citing a broken bone in his other hand. Yahoo Sports also frames the setback as part of a rookie season affected by hand injuries, with some coverage emphasizing the moment he appeared to worsen during the Spurs game.
While the overall situation is consistent across outlets—fractured right hand, surgery, and a four-to-six-week absence—the details of timing and context vary. ESPN focuses on sources and the expected recovery window, while other outlets stress the in-game injury and his failure to complete the matchup.
