Williams recently sprained a finger on his left hand, but he’s a right-handed shooter, and the probable tag suggests he’ll be cleared to play on Monday. If so, his role won’t change much, even if Josh Giddey (ankle) is downgraded from questionable to out.

With Matas Buzelis in foul trouble, Williams ended up taking on a larger role off the bench. He took advantage of the opportunity after only scoring four points in 17 minutes in the season opener. It was good to see the former top-five pick have a strong night, and he could certainly have earned more minutes moving forward. However, he likely won’t continue to see the 29 minutes that he saw in this game unless Buzelis ends up in foul trouble again.

Having recently dealt with a groin injury, Williams was not a lock to be available Wednesday night. However, he’s absent from the injury report, so the wing will be in the rotation. Williams should get most of his minutes backing up Matas Buzelis, putting him in a difficult spot regarding fantasy relevance. Williams is a watch-list candidate in deep leagues early in the season.

It’s unclear if these injuries will actually keep either player from being available for the regular season opener on Wednesday against Detroit. Neither is expected to start, but their potential absences could open up minutes for Kevin Huerter, Dalen Terry and rookie Noa Essengue.

Williams rolled his ankle while planting his foot during a 5-on-5 segment of Wednesday’s practice. Following the session, Bulls head coach Billy Donovan said he did not believe the forward’s injury was too serious. Williams finished the practice riding a stationary bike, which may be a positive sign regarding the severity of the injury. With the emergence of 2024 lottery pick Matas Buzelis during the post-trade deadline portion of last season, Williams will likely come off the bench this season.

After initially being listed as probable, Williams will be available off the bench for Chicago once again. The former top-five pick has played in Chicago’s last five games but has been unproductive in 19.3 minutes per game during that stretch.

Williams has played in five straight games and is likely to suit up again on Thursday. He’s contributed sparingly off the bench and there’s no reason for fantasy managers to take his status into account ahead of tip-off.

Monday’s game was Williams’s first since February 12, and he was restricted to 24 minutes. Unfortunately for those who have him rostered, he finished nowhere near that number. Williams has not provided much fantasy value this season, and when healthy, he hasn’t done enough to earn starters’ minutes consistently. There’s a reason why Williams is only rostered in four percent of Yahoo! leagues.

Williams is back after missing the last nine games in a row with a quad injury. The 23-year-old power forward should get some minutes in his first game back, but not enough to have fantasy value.

Williams has missed the last eight games with a quad injury, with February 12 being the last time he’s played. His continued absence will mean more rotation minutes for Julian Phillips, which does not impact fantasy basketball.

Williams will miss an eighth-straight game. In his absence, Julian Phillips should continue to see increased run.

Williams has been out since February 12 with a case of right quad tendinitis, receiving a PRP injection on February 20. The Bulls end their Week 18 schedule with games in Orlando (Thursday) and Miami (Saturday), and the hope is Williams will be available then. Matas Buzelis has been a starter since February 5, and Williams’ availability is not likely to change that.
