"He is progressing. He's been doing individual workouts. Since we played on Tuesday, we didn't have practice yesterday and we'll practice today. He'll do more today. But other than that I don't have any other information."
"The 6-foot-10 high-end NBA prospect has missed six games since he hurt his left hand in a Feb. 10 loss at Miami. The injury is to Wilson's off hand, though Davis said earlier this week that he had shed his cast and had been doing non-contact work like dribbling and shooting."
"Caleb really wants to play, he wants to get back as soon as he can. So nothing really surprises me anymore."
Caleb Wilson, a star freshman for No. 17 North Carolina, is progressing in his recovery from a left hand fracture sustained on February 10 against Miami. He has missed six games and recently removed his cast, engaging in non-contact work including dribbling and shooting. Coach Hubert Davis confirmed Wilson is increasing practice participation but has not been cleared for full 5-on-5 action. Wilson averages 19.8 points and 9.4 rebounds and has expressed determination to return this season through social media. North Carolina maintains a 5-1 record without him and faces No. 1 Duke in an upcoming rivalry matchup. The team is already secured as the No. 4 seed in the ACC Tournament.
