Bulls rookie forward Caleb Wilson was ruled out of Wednesday’s game against the San Antonio Spurs due to a right hand injury, a fresh blow after he was already a game-time decision for the contest, battling right hip soreness and tightness. This is not the start any rookie wants, nor what Bulls fans were hoping for from their young talent.
A Rough Night Gets Rougher
Fans watching the Bulls take on the Spurs saw their rookie get sidelined with that right hand injury. The team announced the ruling during the game, pulling Wilson for the remainder of the contest. It is a tough break, plain and simple, for a guy trying to make his mark early in the season and establish himself in the rotation. Losing a player mid-game, especially a rookie, is always a gut punch.
From Hip Soreness to Hand Injury
What makes this situation even tougher for Wilson and the Bulls? He was already dealing with pain before this new injury popped up. The rookie was listed as a game-time decision before the game even started, all due to right hip soreness and tightness. To go from that uncertainty to a completely new injury, one to his shooting hand no less, is a real setback for the young forward’s momentum and an immediate concern for the team’s early season health.
For now, everyone is waiting for more information and analysis on the severity of this right hand injury. Bulls fans are definitely holding their breath, hoping for good news on their rookie’s health and a quicker return to the court than this double dose of injuries suggests.
