Patrick Williams's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
