Caleb Wilson Questionable for Bulls’ Game Against Spurs

Wilson was added to Chicago’s injury report shortly before its November 11 matchup with San Antonio, after not appearing on the list earlier in the day. The rookie had not been noted as limited at Tuesday’s practice. His status is in doubt for his first meeting with Spurs star Victor Wembanyama.

Wilson records an average of 19.3 points, 6.3 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 1.9 steals in each game, making his availability important to Chicago’s scoring and play on both ends. If he cannot play, Noa Essengue, Patrick Williams and Leonard Miller could see more minutes. Coach Tiago Splitter could also use Jalen Smith and Nic Claxton together in the frontcourt.

Center Zach Collins was questionable with an illness. Splitter said Collins was improving after the latest practice. Tobe Awaka was ruled out with back tightness.

Norman Powell was also questionable with back spasms after missing Chicago’s previous game against Philadelphia. His shooting could be valuable against the Spurs, where floor spacing is a concern for the Bulls. The team’s final availability decisions were still pending.
