Patrick Williams Stats

Chicago Bulls power forward Patrick Williams delivered the best offensive performance of his professional career to date in Sunday's win over Minnesota, going for 35 points on 10-for-21 shooting. Injuries limited Williams to just 17 regular-season games (nine starts) in his second year, as he averaged nine points and 4.1 boards per outing. At still just 20 years old, there is room for optimism that Williams' numbers will grow in the years to come, as he shot 51.7% from behind the arc, while averaging nearly one made triple per game. He isn't expected to carry a consistent offensive role with Chicago come the postseason, but he will have some DFS cash content appeal due to his defensive contributions.

Chicago Bulls forward Patrick Williams (wrist) will make his return to the court on Monday versus the Toronto Raptors. He hasn't played since October, but will finally make a return to the court. Both Williams and Derrick Jones Jr. are expected to compete for playing time as the backup power forward. It wouldn't be shocking to see the Bulls limit Williams over the next few weeks. It's unlikely that Williams has reliable fantasy value, but fantasy managers will have to wait and see.

Chicago Bulls forward Patrick Williams (wrist) will return to the court in March, as long as he has no setbacks, according to Bulls head coach Billy Donovan. Donovan stated, "I don't know the exact date, but I do believe he'll be back in March. I'm pretty confident about that, unless there's some kind of setback or he doesn't feel like he's got the strength necessary." Williams underwent surgery on his left wrist in late October and the initial speculation was that he'd miss the remainder of the 2021-22 season. If he indeed returns, he will likely be on a strict minutes limit for the remainder of the regular season, making him not worth rostering in any season-long fantasy leagues.

Chicago Bulls second-year forward Patrick Williams (wrist) underwent surgery to repair torn ligaments in his left wrist this past October. While the Bulls never ruled him out for the entire season, there was wide speculation that he would indeed miss the entirety of the 2021-22 campaign. However, there's been good news about his recovery progress lately. Bulls head coach Billy Donovan stated that Williams is progressing well and that there is a "very strong possibility" Williams will play again this season. The former Florida State Seminole had been set for a big role going into the year. He was logging around 30 minutes per game prior to his wrist injury. If he's able to return this year, he'd likely see limited minutes while working his way back. Due to this, he isn't someone worth targeting in season-long fantasy formats.
