Fills box score in finale Williams totaled 13 points (5-15 FG, 2-9 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds, five assists, one block and three steals over 36 minutes during Sunday's 149-128 loss to Dallas.

Impact The 2020 first-rounder finished up another pretty disappointing campaign for the Bulls. Williams averaged 7.0 points, 3.0 rebounds and 1.5 assists in 72 games (six starts) this season, shooting a career-low 37.2 percent from the field. Williams is under contract for 2026-27 and appears ticketed for a reserve role on the wing once more.

Starting versus Dallas Williams (thumb) will start in Sunday's game against Dallas.

Impact Williams is in the starting lineup for the second time in the last three games. In five starts this season, the 24-year-old has averaged 11.8 points, 4.2 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 0.4 blocks and 0.8 steals across 32.2 minutes.

APRIL 13 • ROTOWIRE

Available versus Mavericks Williams (thumb) will play in Sunday's game against Dallas.

Impact The thumb sprain isn't anything new, although it hasn't kept Williams off the floor. He got the start in Thursday's 119-108 win over Washington before moving back to the bench in Friday's 127-103 loss to Orlando. With one more game left on the schedule before Chicago calls it a season, Williams has the chance to put together a strong scoring effort versus a Mavericks squad that hasn't shined defensively throughout the campaign.

APRIL 12 • ROTOWIRE

Probable for Sunday Williams (thumb) is probable for Sunday's game in Dallas.

Impact Williams has been playing through a sprained thumb on his non-shooting hand the past few games, and it looks like he'll continue to do so in Chicago's regular-season finale. Matas Buzelis (ankle) has already been ruled out, so Williams could be looking at another start Sunday.

APRIL 12 • ROTOWIRE

Significant role yields nothing Williams closed with eight points (3-10 FG, 2-6 3Pt), four rebounds and one steal in 27 minutes during Friday's 127-103 loss to the Magic.

Impact Williams was unable to keep up his recent production, instead delivering a more 'typical' performance, despite continuing to play meaningful minutes. It is unclear whether Chicago is going to stay the course when it comes to Williams next season, given his inability to add tangible value to the team. As for fantasy, there is no reason to think he will have any appeal moving forward.

APRIL 11 • ROTOWIRE

Not starting versus Orlando Williams (thumb) won't start in Friday's game against Orlando.

Impact Williams finished with 15 points, eight rebounds, four assists, one steal and one block across 39 minutes as a starter in Thursday's 119-108 win over Washington. However, with Matas Buzelis (illness) back on the floor after missing the last three games, Williams will move back to the bench.

APRIL 10 • ROTOWIRE

Available versus Orlando Williams (thumb) is listed as available for Friday's game against Orlando.

Impact Williams appeared on the injury report because of a thumb injury. However, he is cleared to suit up for Friday's clash with Orlando. The 24-year-old has played well in the last two games, most recently finishing with 15 points, eight rebounds, four assists, one steal and one block across 39 minutes in Thursday's 119-108 win over Washington.

APRIL 10 • ROTOWIRE

Probable vs. Magic Williams (thumb) is probable for Friday's matchup against the Magic.

Impact Williams joined the first unit during Thursday's game against the Wizards, also making it the second consecutive game he played 30-plus minutes. Chicago has an extensive injury report again, so don't be surprised if Williams' role remains bigger than usual.

APRIL 10 • ROTOWIRE

Joining first unit Williams is starting Thursday's game against the Wizards.

Impact Matas Buzelis (illness) and Isaac Okoro (quadriceps) are sidelined Thursday, opening up a spot in the starting lineup for Williams. His last start dates back to Feb. 24 against Charlotte, when he finished with 11 points, two rebounds and one assist in 26 minutes of action.

APRIL 9 • ROTOWIRE

Available Thursday Williams (thumb) is available for Thursday's game versus Washington.

Impact No surprise here, as Williams is overcoming a probable tag with a sprained left thumb. The sixth-year forward put up a season-high 20 points in Tuesday's win over the Wizards, so he'll be looking to build on that success in Thursday's rematch.

APRIL 9 • ROTOWIRE

Expected to play Thursday Williams is probable for Thursday's game against the Wizards due to a left thumb sprain.

Impact Williams should suit up and handle steady minutes off the bench to bolster the Bulls' frontcourt. He's averaging 6.0 points per game over his last 10 outings, although he scored 20 points in a win over the Wizards on Tuesday.

Available Tuesday Williams (thumb) is available for Tuesday's game against the Wizards.

Impact Williams is shedding a probable designation with a thumb injury. He's scored in single digits is six consecutive games, which makes him a mostly unappealing fantasy option Tuesday.

APRIL 7 • ROTOWIRE

Probable for Tuesday Williams (thumb) is probable for Tuesday's game against the Wizards.

Impact Williams was a late addition to the injury report with a left thumb sprain, but he intends to play through it. He's been ice cold lately, shooting 27.1 percent from the field over his last eight games.

APRIL 7 • ROTOWIRE

Limited output in loss Williams ended with five points (2-8 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 1-1 FT), one rebound, three assists, one block and one steal in 24 minutes during Sunday's 120-110 loss to the Suns.

Impact Williams continues to be used sparingly by the Bulls, and he remains ice cold shooting the ball. Over his last eight games, he's shooting 27.1 percent from the field for 4.3 points per contest.

APRIL 6 • ROTOWIRE

Unproductive despite solid role Williams finished with two points (1-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and one rebound across 19 minutes during Monday's 132-124 win over Houston.

Impact Williams continues to do very little with his time on the floor, sitting well outside the top 300 in five games over the past two weeks, despite averaging 21.5 minutes per contest. As has been the story for much of his career, Williams can't seem to find any sort of rhythm on either end of the court. For fantasy purposes, he holds little to no value, no matter the format.

MARCH 24 • ROTOWIRE

Available Friday Williams (ankle) is available for Friday's game against the Clippers, K.C. Johnson of Chicago Sports Network reports.

Impact Williams will shake off his questionable tag and return from a two-game absence due to a left ankle sprain. The 24-year-old forward has averaged 7.6 points, 2.4 rebounds and 2.2 assists in 22.8 minutes per game across five appearances (one start) since the All-Star break.
