Chicago Bulls forward Patrick Williams (quad) is available to play ahead of Thursday's game against the Sacramento Kings. As expected, Williams has been cleared to play after being listed as probable on the injury report. Williams hasn't seen too significant of a role since returning from his nine-game absence. He played 17 minutes on Wednesday and finished with five points and two rebounds. The 23-year-old doesn't appear to be offering much fantasy value down the stretch of the season.
Chicago Bulls forward Patrick Williams (quad) is listed as doubtful ahead of Saturday's game against the Miami Heat. Williams has missed the last eight games and it doesn't appear that he is quite ready to get back on the floor yet. His continued absence should mean that Julian Phillips and Matas Buzelis should continue seeing more minutes in the rotation. Phillips isn't much of a fantasy option right now, but Buzelis has played well during each of his last three games. The rookie forward is well worth a look as a streaming option while the Bulls are shorthanded.
Chicago Bulls forward Patrick Williams (knee) has picked up a questionable tag ahead of Thursday's game against the Orlando Magic. He seems to be nearing his return to action after missing seven games. On Feb. 20, the team announced that he would be re-evaluated in two weeks after Williams received a platelet-rich plasma injection to treat tendinosis in his right knee. Bulls head coach Billy Donovan mentioned on Sunday that Williams could be available for this week's two-game road trip in Florida. Chicago is also scheduled to face the Miami Heat on Saturday. Williams could eat into the minutes of Matas Buzelis, who has been starting during his absence.
Chicago Bulls forward Patrick Williams (knee) will be sidelined for at least a couple of weeks. On Thursday, the team announced that Williams received a platelet-rich plasma injection to treat tendinosis in his right knee and will be re-evaluated in two weeks. The 23-year-old will sit out a second consecutive game on Saturday against the Phoenix Suns. Matas Buzelis and Julian Phillips benefit most from a fantasy perspective from Williams' absence. While Phillips outperformed Buzelis on Thursday against the New York Knicks, the Bulls have used Buzelis as a starter, putting him in a better position to make an impact.
Chicago Bulls forward Patrick Williams (quadriceps) will not suit up for Thursday's matchup against the New York Knicks. He has been ruled out due to soreness in his right quadriceps. Williams' absence creates additional playing opportunities for Matas Buzelis and Julian Phillips. The former has already gained momentum recently with a move to the starting unit. Buzelis has averaged 14.8 points and 2.7 rebounds in 26.7 minutes this month, shooting a hugely impressive 60.3 percent from the field.
Chicago Bulls forward Patrick Williams (elbow) is considered probable for Sunday's matchup against Sacramento. He has been listed on the injury report with a right elbow contusion. Williams has struggled recently, and the injury is another blow for him. The 23-year-old has been limited to 5.6 points on a horrible 29 percent shooting this month, so even if Williams suits up for Sunday's game, fantasy managers should look elsewhere. If Williams is out, Rookie Matas Buzelis and Julian Phillips might see more playing time, but they are non-factors in fantasy basketball.
Patrick Williams Says He'll Suit Up Versus Charlotte
Chicago Bulls forward Patrick Williams (foot) said he will play in Friday's game against the Hornets. The 23-year-old has been out of commission since November because of issues with his left foot, the same one he had surgery on back in March. With that in mind, he has averaged only 9.9 points and 5.0 rebounds this season, so he isn't the most dependable fantasy option. But Williams' return could at least mean less work for Ayo Dosunmu and Matas Buzelis.
Chicago Bulls forward Patrick Williams (foot) is questionable for Friday's game against the Hornets. The 23-year-old has been sidelined for nearly a month because of an issue with his surgically-repaired left foot. However, he may need a few more days to recover, although the questionable designation is a step in the right direction. With that in mind, since Williams has averaged only 9.9 points, 5.0 rebounds, and 1.0 steals this season, there aren't many fantasy managers concerned with his availability. But until Williams is back on the floor, Ayo Dosunmu, averaging 15.5 points in 12 starts this season, should remain with the first five.
Chicago Bulls forward Patrick Williams (foot) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Washington Wizards, marking his fourth consecutive absence due to inflammation in his surgically repaired left foot. His status for Wednesday's matchup against the Orlando Magic is still uncertain. Williams, who averages 28.7 minutes per game, has been a solid contributor with 9.9 points and 5.0 rebounds per game, though his health has occasionally been a concern. He had a strong stretch recently, including a double-double performance on November 11th against Cleveland, with 13 points and 10 rebounds.
Chicago Bulls forward Patrick Williams (foot) is expected to miss at least a week with inflammation in his surgically repaired left foot. Per Bulls head coach Billy Donovan, the team needs to let the inflammation fully calm down which will result in Williams being out at least a week and potentially longer. Donovan also stated that the inflammation Williams is experiencing is a normal byproduct of ramping up after the 23-year-old didn't play much five-on-five in the offseason. With Williams expected to miss time, fantasy managers should turn their sights to Torrey Craig who drew the start on Wednesday in Chicago's matchup against the Milwaukee Bucks. Craig hasn't played much this season but is a prototypical "three and D" type player and shot 39.2% from three with the Bulls last season.
