• Bulls' Patrick Williams: Set for multi-game absence

  18H ago • By RotoWire

  Williams, who has already been ruled out for Wednesday's game against Milwaukee, will remain sidelined for Chicago's back-to-back set Friday versus Atlanta and Saturday versus Memphis after he underwent imaging that revealed inflammation in his surgically repaired left foot, K.C. Johnson of NBC Sports Chicago reports. The 23-year-old previously underwent surgery in February to address what was originally diagnosed as an acute bone edema, then deemed a stress reaction. Williams' flare-up could help explain why he was limited to 15 points on 5-for-19 shooting from the field over the Bulls' previous two contests, which came after he averaged a healthy 14.0 points on 48.9 percent shooting across the preceding five contests. With Williams now ruled out for the Bulls' next three games, his earliest opportunity to return to action will come next Tuesday against Washington.

  Williams (foot) will not play Wednesday against the Bucks, Julia Poe of the Chicago Tribune reports. The Bulls are describing Williams' absence as a precautionary one, but it's worth noting that the forward stayed back in Chicago to undergo some imaging on his foot. For now, he should be considered questionable for Friday's game against the Hawks. With Williams sidelined Wednesday, players such as Julian Phillips, Matas Buzelis and Torrey Craig will be candidates to see more run.

Williams continues to deal with bilateral foot soreness, but being listed as questionable instead of probable indicates that he is more likely to miss Wednesday's contest than he was Monday.

  Williams is probable for Monday's game against the Pistons due to bilateral foot soreness. Before Sunday's dud during a blowout loss to Houston, Williams had scored in double figures in five straight games, averaging 14.0 points, 5.2 rebounds, 3.6 assists, 1.8 steals and 0.8 blocks in 32.6 minutes during that stretch. The fifth-year forward should suit up Monday and play around 30 minutes if given the green light.

  Williams logged seven points (2-9 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound and one assist over 16 minutes during Sunday's 143-107 loss to the Rockets. Sunday's game was a massive blowout, impacting the minutes of Chicago's regulars. Among the starters, Zach LaVine led the team in minutes played with 26. Williams was red hot coming into Sunday's game, so fantasy managers will simply need to chalk this up as a dud and give him another chance.
