Thu Mar 2020:52Patrick Williams Available On Thursday
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.

Fri Mar 720:47Patrick Williams Likely To Remain Out On Saturday
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.

Thu Mar 609:46Patrick Williams Listed As Questionable Thursday
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.

Fri Feb 2121:02Patrick Williams To Miss At Least Two Weeks
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.

Wed Feb 1919:49Patrick Williams Ruled Out For Thursday
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.

Sat Jan 1120:21Patrick Williams Labeled As Probable For Sunday
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.

Fri Dec 13 202418:39Patrick 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.

Thu Dec 12 202420:12Patrick Williams Questionable Against The Hornets
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.

Mon Nov 25 202419:38Patrick Williams Will Be Sidelined On Tuesday
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.

Wed Nov 20 202421:02Patrick Williams Likely To Miss At Least One Week
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.

Wed Nov 20 202417:55Patrick Williams Undergoing Testing On Left Foot
Chicago Bulls forward Patrick Williams (foot) won't play in Wednesday's divisional meeting against the Milwaukee Bucks. The 23-year-old appeared in Tuesday's edition of the injury report because of bilateral foot soreness. However, since then, it was confirmed he's dealing with an issue with his left foot, the same one he had season-ending surgery on in January. Williams will undergo further testing. But fantasy managers could be without him beyond Wednesday evening. If that's the case, Julian Phillips and Jalen Smith could be in line for more work. Torrey Craig may also see more minutes than usual.

Tue Nov 19 202417:47Patrick Williams Questionable For Wednesday Night
Chicago Bulls forward Patrick Williams (feet) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. The 23-year-old hasn't missed a game this season, which is good news, considering he missed time during the 2023-24 campaign because of a foot injury. It's unknown if his surgically-repaired foot is giving him trouble. But for now, fantasy managers shouldn't be too concerned about bilateral foot soreness. Williams has played as well as expected this season, averaging 9.9 points, 5.0 rebounds, and 39.4% shooting from deep. Unfortunately, that type of production won't earn him a consistent place in some fantasy lineups. If he's sidelined on Wednesday, Jalen Smith could be in line for more work.

Mon Nov 18 202414:28Patrick Williams Expected To Play Monday
Chicago Bulls forward Patrick Williams (foot) is dealing with foot soreness heading into the Monday night matchup against the Detroit Pistons but has been listed as probable. The 23-year-old hasn't been as efficient this year compared to the rest of his career but has increased a handful of his numbers so far. Through 14 games, Williams averages 10.1 points, 5.0 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 1.1 steals, and 1.9 threes per game. He's a better asset in deeper leagues but has started to make a case for 12-team leagues recently.

Tue Oct 22 202408:31Patrick Williams Practices On Monday
Chicago Bulls forward Patrick Williams (ankle) was able to practice on Monday. He exited Chicago's preseason finale against Cleveland with an ankle injury, but it looks like it wasn't anything serious. Williams also battled a wrist injury during the preseason. However, as of right now, Williams should be expected to be in the lineup for Wednesday's season opener against New Orleans. The 23-year-old is set to begin the campaign as a starter, and fantasy managers could get some decent value out of him. Last season, Williams averaged 11.1 points, 4.4 rebounds, 1.6 assists, 0.8 blocks, and 0.9 steals in 30 games as a member of the first unit.

Wed Oct 2 202407:15Patrick Williams "Ready To Go" For Training Camp
Chicago Bulls forward Patrick Williams (foot) is "ready to go" for training camp, according to team executive Arturas Karnisovas. Williams underwent season-ending foot surgery in March, and it was recently reported that he's dealing with discomfort in the same foot. This left a question mark hanging over Williams ahead of training camp. However, Karnisovas said the discomfort wasn't related to Williams' foot surgery, and the 23-year-old has been cleared for training camp. Williams has offered solid but unspectacular production as a starter in Chicago. He averaged 10.0 points, 3.9 rebounds, and 1.5 assists across 27.3 minutes last season.

Mon Sep 23 202416:19Patrick Williams' Foot Still An Issue Before Training Camp
Chicago Bulls forward Patrick Williams (foot) continues to rehab his surgically repaired left foot ahead of training camp, which starts Oct. 1. Back in July, Williams told Darnell Mayberry of The Athletic that everything felt good, there wasn't any pain or swelling, and that he was running and jumping. Fast forward to August, where the Bulls met up in Miami for some voluntary workouts, and Williams was forced to stop participating after he experienced discomfort in the same foot he had surgery on. As of right now, it's unclear if he'll be ready by the start of training camp, and then the discussion turns to whether he'll be ready by the start of the regular season. Williams appeared in just 43 games last year and averaged 10.0 points, 3.9 rebounds, and 1.5 assists per game.

Sun Jun 30 202410:26Patrick Williams Expected To Sign Extension With Bulls
Chicago Bulls forward Patrick Williams reportedly intends to sign a massive extension with the organization. The Bulls extended a qualifying offer to Williams, but it sounds like the two sides have agreed on a new deal. Williams intends to sign a five-year, $90 million contract to remain in Chicago long term. The Bulls have high hopes for Williams despite him only playing 43 games last season due to injury. At the moment, it seems unlikely that the Bulls are going to bring back DeMar DeRozan which should mean an increased role for Williams next season.

Tue Jun 4 202421:20Patrick Williams On OKC's Radar?
According to Darnell Mayberry of the New York Times, the Oklahoma City Thunder could be interested in acquiring Chicago Bulls forward Patrick Williams. The 22-year-old has averaged 9.7 points and 4.2 rebounds while shooting 41.0% from deep since entering the league in 2020. However, while he's shown flashes of promise, his career in the National Basketball Association hasn't been smooth sailing. Williams could command over $16 million as a restricted free agent this summer, although that number may change, considering he was limited to only 43 games in 2023-24 because of a foot injury. But the Thunder have draft picks, so a sign-and-trade could be on the horizon. Either way, his fantasy desirability will continue to plunge until he proves he can stay healthy and consistent.

Fri Feb 23 202420:36Patrick Williams To Undergo Season-Ending Surgery
Chicago Bulls forward Patrick Williams (foot) will see his 2023-2024 campaign come to an abrupt end. Williams is reportedly expected to undergo season-ending foot surgery. He hasn't played since January 25, and Williams wasn't making strong progress in his recovery process. He played in all 82 games last season but will see his 2023 campaign cut short. He'll finish with averages of 10.0 points, 3.9 rebounds, 1.5 assists, and 1.7 combined blocks/steals across 27.3 minutes. Ayo Dosunmu remains a must-have player with the Bulls shorthanded right now.

Wed Feb 21 202407:02Patrick Williams To Remain Out On Thursday
Chicago Bulls forward Patrick Williams (foot) will miss a 10th consecutive game on Thursday against the Celtics. Williams is trying to return from a left foot injury, but he is reportedly still experiencing mild discomfort and isn't running yet. According to Bulls head coach Billy Donovan, the team will be "very, very careful" with Williams. With Torrey Craig (knee) also dropping out of the lineup ahead of Thursday's game, Donovan will need to get creative with his rotation.
