What happened

The Bulls said rookie Caleb Wilson had successful surgery Thursday after fracturing his right hand Wednesday, and he is expected to miss four to six weeks.

Wilson left the game in the second half against San Antonio, and Chicago said he will be re-evaluated in three weeks after the injury.

LINEUP CONTEXT

His absence removes a young frontcourt option from Chicago’s rotation, and the Bulls will need to cover his minutes until the re-evaluation clarifies his timetable.
