Chicago Bulls rookie Caleb Wilson won't play in the club's final Summer League matchup against the Cleveland Cavaliers, the team announced Thursday.

Wilson capped his first stint in a Bulls uniform earlier Thursday with a 21-point, eight-rebound performance versus the Los Angeles Lakers.

The fourth overall pick in this year's draft averaged 23.5 points on 50% shooting - including a 42% clip from deep - to go along with 7.3 rebounds, 2.5 blocks, and 1.3 steals over four appearances in Las Vegas.

Wilson was a consensus second-team All-American, All-ACC first-team selection, and ACC All-Rookie team member during his lone collegiate campaign at North Carolina.

The 6-foot-10 forward averaged 19.8 points, 9.4 boards, 2.7 assists, 1.5 steals, and 1.4 blocks across 24 games for the Tar Heels. His freshman year was cut short after suffering a broken thumb during a practice in March.

Wilson was a McDonald's All-American and the fifth-ranked recruit on the ESPN 100 coming out of high school.
