Patrick Williams Fantasy Stats

Chicago Bulls forward Patrick Williams (ankle) has been downgraded from doubtful to out for Thursday's contest against the Los Angeles Lakers. Williams was trending in the wrong direction throughout the day, having been listed as questionable on the initial injury report. The 24-year-old hasn't been able to build any momentum this season and will be sidelined for the sixth time in seven games. Chicago begins a back-to-back set, and it's unclear whether Williams will be in contention to play on Friday against the Clippers.

Chicago Bulls center Jalen Smith (calf) and forward Patrick Williams (quad) are expected to miss at least one week due to right leg strains. The timeline likely sidelines both for multiple games, thinning Chicago's frontcourt rotation. Guerschon Yabusele started the last contest and logged 27 minutes, producing 11 points, four rebounds, three three-pointers, one assist, and two steals, while Nick Richards added six points and five rebounds in 22 minutes. Yabusele profiles as a short-term streamer for threes and steals, and Richards offers deep-league rebounding value. Matas Buzelis should continue to see a steady run in the frontcourt.

Chicago Bulls forward Patrick Williams (quad) was downgraded from doubtful to out for Thursday's game against the Trail Blazers. Williams will join Jalen Smith (calf) on the sidelines, leaving lots of playing time and usage for Guerschon Yabusele, Nick Richards, and Leonard Miller. Yabusele and Richards each have double-double potential in the favorable matchup. Yabusele will likely start in place of Smith, giving him and especially high ceiling due to his multi-category upside against Portland, and without Williams, Miller may have to step more into the mix off the bench.

Chicago Bulls forward Patrick Williams (hand) is available for Sunday's game against the Knicks after being listed with a left-hand injury. Williams has averaged 7.8 points, 3.0 rebounds, 2.2 assists, and 1.2 steals in 23.2 minutes over his last five outings, but his usage remains modest in a crowded rotation. He logged six points, one rebound, one assist, and two steals in 16 minutes during the recent loss to Detroit. With Josh Giddey and Matas Buzelis handling larger roles, Williams remains off the standard-league radar and profiles as a deep-league filler at best.

Chicago Bulls forward Patrick Williams (ankle) is available ahead of Thursday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Williams is back in the rotation after missing each of the last two games due to a right ankle sprain. Given it was only a two-game absence, Williams shouldn't be under a minutes limit. His return to the rotation should mean less playing time for Kevin Huerter, Isaac Okoro, and Jalen Smith. When healthy, Williams has been an inconsistent fantasy option and isn't someone who is viewed as a must-start right now.

Bulls forward Patrick Williams (ankle) was listed as questionable for Tuesday night's home game against the visiting Clippers. He missed Sunday's game against the Nets after leaving Friday's game in Brooklyn with a sprained ankle. Williams has not been contributing very much this season, scoring just 6.5 points in 18 minutes per game, but if he's out again on Tuesday, there will be more time for Jalen Smith, who has been excellent lately, producing three straight double-doubles and averaging 11.2 points and 9.5 rebounds in 24.8 minutes per game. Smith started the Bulls game on Sunday and is a player on the rise right now for Chicago. Even if Williams is healthy enough to return, Smith should continue to play ahead of him, given how productive each has been this season.

Chicago Bulls forward Patrick Williams (ankle) won't play on Sunday against Brooklyn. Williams logged 12 minutes when these clubs met on Friday night before he tweaked his right ankle and was eventually ruled out. It's unknown how long the injury will keep him out of commission. However, the 24-year-old has averaged a career-low 6.5 points this season, so his absence won't impact many fantasy managers outside of opening up more minutes for Jalen Smith, who is coming off a 14-point, 13-rebound, four-block effort.

Chicago Bulls forward Patrick Williams (ankle) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. Williams was only able to play 12 minutes on Friday before exiting due to a sprained right ankle. Another absence would likely mean an extended look for Dalen Terry and Jalen Smith in the rotation. When healthy, Williams hasn't been much of an asset, averaging 6.5 points, 1.2 assists, and 2.9 rebounds in 18.5 minutes per game. He's too inconsistent at the moment to be trusted in most fantasy formats. Smith is the preferred streaming option with back-to-back double-doubles. He'll once again be a strong streaming choice if Williams is unable to play.

Chicago Bulls forward Patrick Williams (ankle) will not return to Friday's game against Brooklyn after spraining his right ankle late in the third quarter, leaving his status for Sunday's rematch uncertain. Williams logged seven points, three rebounds, and one assist in 12 minutes off the bench. Chicago should continue to lean heavily on Matas Buzelis, who is locked into a starter's workload and is averaging 15.2 points, 4.6 rebounds, 2.0 three-pointers, and 2.0 blocks in 29.1 minutes. If Williams sits, the Bulls would lean even more on that frontcourt, with Jalen Smith continuing to see steady run after posting 11.2 points, 9.2 rebounds, 1.4 three-pointers, and 1.8 blocks in 24.0 minutes, keeping him viable in deeper formats.

Chicago Bulls forward Patrick Williams (wrist) and guard/forward Dalen Terry (calf) will be active against the Indiana Pacers on Friday. Both players were initially listed as probable for the game. Having the two available is great news for an injury-hit Bulls squad. However, fantasy managers should not expect Williams and Terry to make much noise. Williams has been limited to 7.3 points and 3.2 rebounds in 20.7 minutes this season. Meanwhile, Terry has averaged fewer than 10 minutes per game, posting 2.6 points and 1.6 rebounds.
