Williams is available despite his appearance on the injury report with a wrist injury. Even with the Bulls dealing with a bout of injuries, the 24-year-old forward hasn’t seen his minutes increase. Williams isn’t worth holding in most fantasy leagues at this point.

Williams had five points in 13 minutes against the Hornets on Friday. The 24-year-old power forward figures to be available once again against the Pacers on Saturday given his probable listing. Williams isn’t worth carrying on fantasy basketball rosters while in a bench role, though.

Williams will be good to go after initially being listed as questionable, but with Nikola Vučević back, Williams will return to playing a role off the bench. He’ll be a solid reserve forward, but he isn’t a player that is worth rostering.

Williams started Monday’s loss to the Pelicans, filling the void left by Nikola Vučević. He did not provide much production in that role and remains difficult to trust in any fantasy format. If Williams doesn’t play, Julian Phillips may pick up a few additional minutes off the bench, but it won’t be enough to make him fantasy-relevant.

The Bulls are without Nikola Vučević for Monday’s game, creating an opening in the starting lineup. However, they will go small, starting Williams at the five while Jalen Smith remains on the bench. Williams is not an exceptionally reliable fantasy option, but moving into the starting lineup makes him worth the risk.

Williams is back after sitting out Saturday’s win over the Wizards. While he hasn’t been the most dependable fantasy option this season, Williams is worth a look in deep leagues given the absence of Nikola Vučević and Kevin Huerter.

Due to a sprained left wrist, Williams did not play in Saturday’s win over the Wizards. His absence led to more playing time for fellow reserve Julian Phillips, who played 10 minutes. Williams hasn’t done enough to merit being rostered in most leagues this season, and Phillips has been even less valuable to fantasy managers.

Terry strained his left calf during Friday’s loss to the Heat, while Williams was not injured during the contest. Both players will miss Saturday’s game, leaving the Bulls light on bench options. Julian Phillips and Jevon Carter will likely play rotation minutes, but neither is a must-stream player.

Williams is dealing with a left wrist sprain. He joins a lengthy list of Bulls that might be out for Saturday’s game against the Wizards. If the Bulls are down multiple players not including Williams, he would have a clearer path towards providing what is typically middling production from the 24-year-old forward.

Williams was initially probable for Monday’s game, so the status upgrade was expected. He’ll provide additional depth off the bench, which makes him a player only worthy of consideration in deep leagues.

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.

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 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.
