UNC Star Opens Up After Season-Ending Wrist Mishap
Caleb Wilson was dazzling as a freshman for North Carolina—posting nearly 20 points and 9.4 rebounds per game—until a wrist injury against Miami benched him. Expecting to return for March Madness, he instead re-broke his thumb dunking and required surgery, halting his college run. The Tar Heels stumbled in the tournament’s first round without him. Now healthy, Wilson was drafted fourth overall by the Chicago Bulls and credits strict green-juice–fueled rehab for his speedy comeback.
If there’s one thing NBA scouts love, it’s a 6-foot-10 prospect downing kale smoothies and sticking his thumb back together like a bargain Ikea project. Sure, he missed the tournament, but now he’s got the perfect origin story: the Boy Who Cried Dunk! Chicago fans, get ready to watch this juice-fueled wunderkind leap tall buildings—er, rims—in a single bound. Forget bulletproof vests, he’s armored up with green juice, protein shakes and all the youthful angst you can tweet about.
