Williams amassed zero points (0-7 FG, 0-5 3Pt), three rebounds and one steal over 15 minutes during Saturday's 112-99 loss to the Hornets.
Williams was unable to maintain his recent momentum, failing to score for the third time in his past six games. Prior to Saturday, Williams had dropped double-digit points in back-to-back games. It would appear as though that was nothing but an outlier, with Williams' extremely low ceiling coming back to haunt him. In 33 appearances, he has averaged just 6.7 points and 1.3 three-pointers in 18.8 minutes per game.

Bulls' Patrick Williams: No minutes in Friday's win
Rotowire
Williams (coach's decision) didn't leave the bench Friday in the Bulls' 109-102 win over the 76ers.
Williams had been managing an illness leading up to Friday's contest and was listed as questionable heading into the day, but he ended up being cleared to play ahead of game time. However, for the first time all season, Williams wound up getting dropped from the Chicago rotation while head coach Billy Donovan went with Jalen Smith and Zach Collins as the team's backup options in the frontcourt. Considering Williams had played fewer than 10 minutes in each of his preceding three appearances, his move outside of the rotation wasn't overly surprising.

Bulls' Patrick Williams: Iffy for Friday
Rotowire
Williams (illness) is questionable for Friday's game against the 76ers.
Williams was a very late addition to the injury report. Friday's game is the front end of a back-to-back set, so the Bulls may proceed with caution. Williams has been held to single-digit minutes in his last three appearances, however.

Bulls' Patrick Williams: Fails to score in win
Rotowire

Williams failed to score for the second time in the past three games, continuing what has been another disappointing season.

Bulls' Patrick Williams: Season-low 11 minutes
Rotowire
Williams ended with two points (1-3 FG, 0-2 3Pt) over 11 minutes during Wednesday's 127-111 victory over Cleveland.
Williams officially bottomed out in the win, playing just 11 minutes, the fewest he has played all season. It appears that Williams' ceiling has all but disappeared, now serving as nothing more than a depth piece on a team with very little direction. In 25 games thus far, Williams is averaging just 7.4 points and 1.5 three-pointers in 20.8 minutes per game.

Bulls' Patrick Williams: Scores season-high 16 points
Rotowire
Williams accumulated 16 points (6-8 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal over 26 minutes during Friday's 129-126 win over the Hornets.
Williams scored a season-high 16 points, just the sixth time this season he has tallied double digits. Although he has been mostly healthy, Williams' role has been underwhelming, averaging 7.6 points, 1.0 steals and 1.5 three-pointers in 21.2 minutes per game through 23 contests. At best, he can be considered a borderline fantasy asset for those in deeper formats.

Rotowire
Williams (wrist) is probable for Saturday's game against the Pacers.
Williams missed one game with his left wrist sprain but has played the last two and is on track to suit up again Saturday. His presence may be needed more against the Pacers, as both Jalen Smith (hamstring) and Zach Collins (wrist) are out, meaning Williams could end up playing the backup center role behind Nikola Vucevic, who is probable with a knee injury.
