Caleb Wilson sets an unwanted record in his first NBA game

Caleb Wilson, picked 4th overall by the Chicago Bulls in the 2026 NBA Draft, began his professional career with a difficult night. The Bulls lost the season opener on the road to the Toronto Raptors 135 to 92.

Wilson played 32 minutes and finished with 16 points, 4 rebounds, 3 steals and 1 block. The young player struggled on offense, though. Wilson made 7 of 21 shots and hit only 1 of 8 attempts from beyond the three-point line. He also had 9 turnovers.

The most striking number of the night was his plus/minus. The 20-year-old, whose team was outscored by 45 points while he was on the floor, reached minus 45, the worst plus/minus for a player in his first game in NBA history. The record previously belonged to Jalen Green.

The Bulls will face the Milwaukee Bucks in the second game of the season. Wilson will be looking for the first win of his NBA career in that game.
