At the beginning of November 2023, after a match against Jazz, Wendell Carter Jr. had fractured his left hand. He had undergone surgery and missed more than a month and twenty matches. The interior was then able to resume and finish the season, but not without difficulty.
“It affected me in many ways”, he explained during his last press conference of the season. “Mentally already, I was sidelined from the field for a while, while my teammates were doing a superb job. Then there was the pressure to come back and put myself on the same level as Moe Wagner and Goga Bitadze. I got to a point where I doubted myself a little. »
Now that he is on vacation, after the elimination of the Magic at the end of Game 7 against Cleveland, Wendell Carter Jr. will play the pool again, announces the Florida franchise in a press release.
The operation will consist of placing a plate at the site of his fracture and the former interior of Chicago will be examined within a month, to take stock. There is therefore no risk of him missing the resumption in September.
