Patrick Williams News, Rumors, Updates - Chicago Bulls

Playing vs. Boston Williams (ankle) is available for Saturday's game against the Celtics.

Impact Williams made his return from a two-game absence due to an ankle injury in Thursday's win over Minnesota. However, he'll continue playing off the bench and hovering around the 15-20 minute range, meaning he shouldn't have a lot of fantasy upside even if he plays regularly.

Impact The forward recently missed two games with the injury, so the Bulls are keeping an eye on his status. Williams has logged at least 20 minutes on just two occasions in his last eight appearances, so his pathway to fantasy relevance is clouded for the time being.

Scoreless in loss Williams had zero points (0-6 FG, 0-5 3Pt), one rebound and two assists in 18 minutes during Tuesday's 119-113 loss to Houston.

Impact Williams failed to score for the second time in the past five games, a period during which he has averaged 2.4 points and 3.0 rebounds per contest. It would appear as though Chicago has finally come to the realization that Williams is who he is, a depth piece with very little upside, outside of sporadic defensive contributions.

Fails to score in loss Williams amassed zero points (0-7 FG, 0-5 3Pt), three rebounds and one steal over 15 minutes during Saturday's 112-99 loss to the Hornets.

Impact Williams was unable to maintain his recent momentum, failing to score for the third time in his past six games. Prior to Saturday, Williams had dropped double-digit points in back-to-back games. It would appear as though that was nothing but an outlier, with Williams' extremely low ceiling coming back to haunt him. In 33 appearances, he has averaged just 6.7 points and 1.3 three-pointers in 18.8 minutes per game.

No minutes in Friday's win Williams (coach's decision) didn't leave the bench Friday in the Bulls' 109-102 win over the 76ers.

Impact Williams had been managing an illness leading up to Friday's contest and was listed as questionable heading into the day, but he ended up being cleared to play ahead of game time. However, for the first time all season, Williams wound up getting dropped from the Chicago rotation while head coach Billy Donovan went with Jalen Smith and Zach Collins as the team's backup options in the frontcourt. Considering Williams had played fewer than 10 minutes in each of his preceding three appearances, his move outside of the rotation wasn't overly surprising.
