Wilson will have surgery after fracturing his right hand in Chicago's loss to the Spurs on Wednesday.
Bulls rookie Caleb Wilson is set for surgery on a fractured right hand, sidelining him for four to six weeks, according to sources. The injury happened during Chicago's loss to the Spurs on Wednesday, adding another setback to a Bulls roster already dealing with its share of trouble this season.
Wilson, the No. 4 pick in this year's draft, is no stranger to hand injuries. He missed significant time in his lone college season with a broken bone in his other hand, meaning both of his hands have now sidelined him for extended stretches in consecutive years.
For a Bulls team trying to find its footing, losing a top rookie for over a month is not ideal, even if the injury itself is not career-threatening. Wilson will need to recover and work his way back into the rotation once cleared, with the hope that this stint on the sideline goes more smoothly than his college one did.
