Open Extended ReactionsNorth Carolina star Caleb Wilson, a projected top-five pick in the 2026 NBA draft, is out with no timetable for return after he suffered a fractured left hand in the 75-66 loss at Miami on Tuesday, the school announced.
Wilson posted on X Thursday night that "I'll be back" in response to a fan who asked about his timetable for a return.
