Williams will start Monday's game against the Raptors, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports. Following a 10-game absence, Williams returned to action Friday against the Hornets but played off the bench for the first time this season and saw only 14 minutes. However, with Zach LaVine (back) out Monday, Williams will get tossed back into an expanded role. As a starter this season (15 games), Williams has averaged 9.9 points, 5.0 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.0 steals in 28.7 minutes per game.

Williams (foot) ended Friday's 109-95 victory over the Hornets with four points (1-7 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds and one assist over 14 minutes. Williams came off the bench for the first time in his 16 appearances on the season, as the Bulls eased him back into the mix in a low-minute bench role after he had missed the previous 10 games with a left foot injury. After signing a five-year, $90 million deal in the offseason, Williams hasn't shown much growth in his fifth NBA campaign, having thus far averaged 9.6 points, 4.8 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.8 three-pointers in 27.9 minutes per game. Ayo Dosunmu has been playing tremendously since Williams was forced to the sideline but could be moved to the bench once Williams is further removed from the foot injury.

Williams (foot) will play in Friday's matchup against the Hornets, K.C. Johnson of NBC Sports Chicago reports. Williams will return to action following a 10-game absence due to a left foot injury. The 23-year-old forward is expected to operate under a minutes restriction of 20-to-24 minutes, according to Julia Poe of the Chicago Tribune. With Williams restricted, Ayo Dosunmu and Julian Phillips are candidates to pick up the slack.

Williams (foot) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Hornets. Williams has been upgraded to questionable after missing the club's last 10 outings due to a left foot injury. The 23-year-old was a full participant during Thursday's practice, and if he gives it a go Friday he'll likely remain limited to around 20-to-24 minutes, according to Julia Poe of the Chicago Tribune.

Williams (foot) was able to scrimmage with contact during Wednesday's practice, Julia Poe of the Chicago Tribune reports. After getting in a non-contact session Tuesday, Williams made another positive step in his rehab Wednesday. He's missed 10 games in a row and has been sidelined since Nov. 18, but he appears to be closing in on a return. For now, he should be considered questionable for Friday's game against the Hornets.
