North Carolina freshman Caleb Wilson is ramping up his practice work as the No. 17 Tar Heels prepare for their rivalry matchup at No. 1 Duke, but he has not yet been cleared to participate in full 5-on-5 action.
Wilson remains limited as he continues to recover from a fractured hand, keeping his status short of full-contact team drills even as his on-court workload increases.

The update comes with North Carolina set to face top-ranked Duke in one of college basketball’s marquee rivalries, a matchup that regularly draws national attention and carries significant weight for both programs.
For now, Wilson’s return to full participation remains on hold, with the freshman still working back from the hand injury while the Tar Heels continue preparations for the trip to Durham.
