It's not great to have just one leaf wilt. Unless it's getting far more sun than the others it usually means an infection. Post a pic? Maybe remove it. It will probably die soon anyhow.

Was it kinked, or did the stalk look broken? I had to prop up several older leaves on a 6-foot plant today because I watered it too quickly with its new mini-sprinkler. They are so fragile it's a bummer, but how the plant survives altogether is a miracle, lol. eg

If it verticillium or phytophthora or something then it would be best to remove the leaf. If it's old age or malnutrition (low potassium or nitrogen) then you might see brown or yellow edges but no wilting. To me the periodic wilting suggests verticillium. But it could be something else. I think infected plants do better when the infected parts are removed.

No other parts are infected so I doubt phytophthora. I've still got two plants there so maybe it won't be the keeper
