UNC Star Wilson Out With Hand Fracture
13 Feb
Summary
- Freshman star Caleb Wilson suffered a left hand fracture.
- Wilson leads UNC in scoring with 19.8 points and 9.4 rebounds.
- Additional imaging confirmed the fracture after initial sprain diagnosis.

No. 11 North Carolina will be without its leading freshman scorer, Caleb Wilson, due to a fractured left hand. The high-end NBA prospect suffered the injury during the team's recent loss at Miami. The severity of the fracture was confirmed by additional imaging after the game.
Wilson, who averages 19.8 points and 9.4 rebounds, is a critical player for the Tar Heels. He had been instrumental in the team's success, setting freshman records and consistently scoring in double figures. The team initially believed the injury to be a sprained wrist, but further tests revealed the fracture.
The Tar Heels, now 19-5, face a challenging stretch of games without Wilson. Their upcoming schedule includes matchups against Pittsburgh, N.C. State, Louisville, and Clemson, culminating in a regular-season finale against rival Duke. The team is evaluating Wilson's injury to determine a return timeline, with the NCAA Tournament roughly a month away.
