| 0:00.0 | We do have a Friday afternoon emergency podcast. You're watching. You know the title. You see it. |
| 0:19.0 | It's no shock why we are doing this here. Not what I wanted to see. And I am genuinely surprised we are here. |
| 0:25.5 | But one of the best freshmen in the country has played his last game for the North Carolina Tar Heels. |
| 0:31.0 | And in all likelihood, he has played his last college game, which is a dagger, man. Caleb Wilson is done. Uh, he is done because he broke a, |
| 0:40.3 | his right thumb on Thursday in a non-contact drill that will require surgery. And that, |
| 0:48.3 | unfortunately, will put his timeline past the end of this college basketball season. |
| 0:53.3 | Important context here. and I've got some |
| 0:54.8 | additional intel for you in this quicky emergency episode. When Caleb Wilson got injured in the |

| 1:52.0 | in just a second, but how we got here is surprising. So I did check in on the situation earlier this week. |
| 1:57.6 | And what I was told by multiple sources is that Caleb Wilson's parents |
| 2:04.9 | said, this is going to be our son's decision. There is not going to be, as long as the doctor |
| 2:10.3 | says he can go, then the coaching staff, the agents, the marketing people, all the other people |
| 2:16.6 | around in the camp, they're not saying, |
