The Chicago Bulls’ rookie Caleb Wilson delivered a standout performance in his summer league debut on Friday night, scoring 35 points against the Las Vegas team. The effort marked the second-highest point total for a Bulls player in a Las Vegas debut since the league’s inception in 2004, underscoring Wilson’s immediate impact and potential as a future contributor for the franchise.

Wilson’s scoring burst came in a high‑scoring contest that saw him hit a mix of mid‑range jumpers, three‑point attempts, and aggressive drives to the basket.
