Chicago Bulls first-round pick and Rookie of the Year candidate Caleb Wilson injured his right hand in the third quarter of Wednesday’s 124-119 loss to the San Antonio Spurs and did not finish the game.
Wilson hurt his hand when it hit the ball as he tried to knock it out of Victor Wembanyama‘s hands. He entered the game listed as questionable with right hip soreness.
Bulls coach Tiago Splitter had no update on Wilson after the game. He said the team will know more on Thursday.
Wilson scored 15 points in 15 minutes before he exited, which extended a strong start to his rookie season. Coming into Wednesday, the UNC product averaged 19.3 points, 6.3 rebounds and 1.9 steals in 32.4 minutes per game.
