One of the shining stars in college basketball, Caleb Wilson from the Tar Heels, may have played his last game this season due to a fractured left hand sustained during a game against Miami. Though X-rays initially came back negative, further scanning confirmed the injury.

The North Carolina administration stated, “X-rays taken during the game were negative, and he returned to play later in the second half vs. the Hurricanes, but additional imaging done in Chapel Hill revealed the fracture. The evaluation process is ongoing to determine the timetable for Wilson’s return.”

With Wilson on the court, the Tar Heels have boasted impressive stats, averaging around 19.8 points and 9.4 rebounds per game, with numerous 20-point performances. However, without him, they face considerable challenges in maintaining their defensive efficiency and scoring potential during crucial games ahead of the NCAA tournament.

They’ll need to adjust quickly as they transition players into different roles to cover Wilson’s absence in anticipation of remaining critical matchups.
