When Duke and North Carolina meet on Saturday night in Cameron Indoor in the regular-season finale, the Tar Heels might not be the only team missing a key piece.
North Carolina star freshman Caleb Wilson broke his right thumb in practice and will undergo season-ending surgery in a devastating blow for the Tar Heels. Wilson had missed the last six games for Carolina after fracturing his left hand against Miami, but appeared to be on track to make his return against the Blue Devils.
The injury bug appears to have traveled down Tobacco Road and bitten Duke now, too.
