Patrick Williams News, Rumors, Updates - Chicago Bulls

Back in starting lineup Williams will start Monday's game against the Raptors, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Impact Following a 10-game absence, Williams returned to action Friday against the Hornets but played off the bench for the first time this season and saw only 14 minutes. However, with Zach LaVine (back) out Monday, Williams will get tossed back into an expanded role. As a starter this season (15 games), Williams has averaged 9.9 points, 5.0 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.0 steals in 28.7 minutes per game.

Quiet in return Friday Williams ended Friday's 109-95 victory over the Hornets with four points (1-7 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds and one assist over 14 minutes.

Impact Williams returned to the lineup following a 10-game absence due to a foot injury, logging 14 minutes off the bench. It's been another underwhelming season for Williams, averaging 9.6 points, 4.8 rebounds and 1.8 three-pointers in 27.9 minutes per game. Ayo Dosunmu has been playing tremendously since Williams was forced to the sideline but could be the scapegoat should the coaching staff opt to bring Williams back into the starting lineup.

Good to go Friday Williams (foot) will play in Friday's matchup against the Hornets, K.C. Johnson of NBC Sports Chicago reports.

Impact Williams will return to action following a 10-game absence due to a left foot injury. The 23-year-old forward is expected to operate under a minutes restriction of 20-24 minutes, according to Julia Poe of the Chicago Tribune. With Williams restricted, Ayo Dosunmu and Julian Phillips are candidates to pick up the slack.

Impact Williams has been upgraded to questionable after missing the club's last 10 outings due to a left foot injury.

Impact Williams has missed Chicago's last 10 outings due to a left foot injury. While the 23-year-old forward is expected to return in a limited fashion Friday, fantasy managers should look out for an official injury report to clarify his availability.

Goes through another practice Williams (foot) was able to scrimmage with contact during Wednesday's practice, Julia Poe of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Impact After getting in a non-contact session Tuesday, Williams made another positive step in his rehab Wednesday. He's missed 10 games in a row and has been sidelined since Nov. 18, but he appears to be closing in on a return. For now, he should be considered questionable for Friday's game against the Hornets.

Impact Williams has missed 10 games in a row and last played on Nov. 18. He's scheduled to participate in Wednesday's scrimmage-filled practice with contact, so that will be a big test for the forward. He should be considered questionable for Friday's game against Charlotte for the time being.

DECEMBER 10 • ROTOWIRE

Sitting Sunday Williams (foot) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the 76ers.

Impact Williams will be sidelined for a 10th straight game due to a left foot injury, and he doesn't have a clear timetable to return. His next opportunity to play will be Friday, Dec. 13 against the Hornets.

Still out Williams (foot) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Nets.

Impact Williams hasn't played since Nov. 18. Ayo Dosunmu should continue to start in Williams' absence, while the latter's next chance to suit up will come Thursday in San Antonio.

DECEMBER 1 • ROTOWIRE

Remains out Williams (foot) is out for Friday's game against the Celtics.

Impact Williams will miss a sixth straight game and still doesn't have a timetable for a return. His next chance to play will be a matchup against the Nets on Monday, and Ayo Dosunmu will continue to start as long as Williams remains sidelined.

NOVEMBER 29 • ROTOWIRE

Out again Wednesday Williams (foot) will not play Wednesday against the Magic.

Impact Williams will miss his fifth straight game and remains without a timetable for a return. Recent imaging revealed inflammation in his surgically repaired left foot, so the Bulls are likely to proceed with caution.

Will remain out Tuesday Williams (foot) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Wizards.

Impact Williams is slated to miss his fourth straight game after imaging revealed inflammation in his surgically repaired left foot. It would be surprising if the oft-injured forward was cleared for the second half of Chicago's back-to-back set, but his status for Wednesday's game versus the Magic remains to be determined. In Williams' absence, Ayo Dosunmu has slid into the starting lineup, shifting Zach LaVine to the four.

NOVEMBER 25 • ROTOWIRE

Set for multi-game absence Williams (foot) has been ruled out for Chicago's upcoming back-to-back set Friday versus Atlanta and Saturday versus Memphis, K.C. Johnson of NBC Sports Chicago reports.

Impact Williams is dealing with inflammation in his left foot, which is notable after the 23-year-old underwent left foot surgery in February to address what was originally diagnosed as an acute bone edema, then deemed a stress reaction. Williams flare-up could align with combining for just 15 points (5-19 FG) across his last two games, which came on the heels of averaging a healthy 14.0 points on 48.9 percent shooting -- including 50.0 percent of 4.8 three-point attempts per game -- across his last five contests. Tuesday against Washington represents his next opportunity to take the court.

NOVEMBER 20 • ROTOWIRE

Ruled out for Wednesday Williams (foot) will not play Wednesday against the Bucks, Julia Poe of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Impact The Bulls are describing this as a precautionary absence, but it's worth noting that Williams stayed back in Chicago to undergo some imaging on his foot. For now, he should be considered questionable for Friday's game against the Hawks. With Williams sidelined Wednesday, players such as Julian Phillips, Matas Buzelis and Torrey Craig will be candidates to see more run.

NOVEMBER 20 • ROTOWIRE

Iffy for Wednesday Williams (foot) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game versus the Bucks.

Impact Williams continues to deal with bilateral foot soreness but being listed as questionable instead of probable indicates that he is more likely to miss Wednesday's contest than he was Monday. If Williams is ultimately forced to sit out, Julian Phillips, Matas Buzelis and Torrey Craig are candidates to receive increased playing time.

NOVEMBER 19 • ROTOWIRE

Will play Monday Williams (foot) is available for Monday's game against the Pistons.

Impact Williams popped up on Monday's injury report due to bilateral foot soreness, but the 2020 first-round pick will play through the issue. Since and including Nov. 1, Williams has averaged 11.6 points, 4.6 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 1.1 steals over 28.6 minutes per game.

NOVEMBER 18 • ROTOWIRE

Expected to play Monday Williams is probable for Monday's game against the Pistons due to bilateral foot soreness.

Impact Before Sunday's dud during a blowout loss to Houston, Williams had scored in double figures in five straight games, averaging 14.0 points, 5.2 rebounds, 3.6 assists, 1.8 steals and 0.8 blocks in 32.6 minutes during that stretch. The fifth-year forward should suit up Monday and play around 30 minutes if given the green light.

NOVEMBER 18 • ROTOWIRE

Held in check Williams logged seven points (2-9 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound and one assist over 16 minutes during Sunday's 143-107 loss to the Rockets.

Impact Sunday's game was a massive blowout, impacting the minutes of Chicago's regulars. Among the starters, Zach LaVine led the team in minutes played with 26. Williams was red hot coming into Sunday's game, so fantasy managers will simply need to chalk this up a dud and give him another chance.
