CHAPEL HILL, N.C. — Star freshman Caleb Wilson is increasing practice work for No. 17 North Carolina ahead of the rivalry game at No. 1 Duke but has yet to be cleared for 5-on-5 action due to his hand fracture, coach Hubert Davis stated Thursday.
The 6-foot-10 high-end NBA prospect has missed six games since he hurt his left, non-shooting hand in a Feb. 10 loss at Miami. Davis stated earlier this week that Wilson had shed his cast and had been doing noncontact work like dribbling and shooting.
“He is progressing,” Davis stated Thursday. “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.”

North Carolina is 5-1 without Wilson, who is averaging 19.8 points and 9.4 rebounds. The injury in the Miami loss came days after he had 23 points in a thrilling win against the Blue Devils on Seth Trimble’s last-second 3-pointer.
The ultracompetitive rookie has stated in social media posts that he intends to return this season.
“Caleb really wants to play, he wants to get back as soon as he can,” Trimble stated Thursday. “So nothing really surprises me anymore.”
The Tar Heels (24-6, 12-5) are already locked into the No. 4 seed at next week’s ACC tournament. If Wilson misses Saturday’s trip to Cameron Indoor Stadium, UNC’s quarterfinal opener in Charlotte would mark 30 days after his injury.
Duke (28-2, 16-1) has won seven straight since the Feb. 7 loss at UNC, including a neutral-court win against then-No. 1 Michigan and last weekend’s 26-point win against now-No. 13 Virginia.
“It’s a good challenge either way for our defense,” Duke coach Jon Scheyer stated Thursday of Wilson’s status. “And I really want us to play our standard in who we are and what we’ve done regardless if he’s playing or not.”
