The Bulls announced Tuesday that Williams has been diagnosed with acute bone edema in his left foot and will be re-evaluated in two weeks, K.C. Johnson of NBC Sports Chicago reports.

Given that Williams will merely be re-evaluated in two weeks, he's unlikely to be cleared for game action until after the All-Star break. Ayo Dosunmu moved into the starting five and played 33 minutes in Sunday's win over Portland while Williams was sidelined, though that spot on the top unit will eventually be returned to Zach LaVine (ankle), assuming LaVine isn't traded before the Feb. 8 deadline. Along with Dosunmu, rookie Julian Phillips was one of the beneficiaries of Williams' absence -- he played 23 minutes Monday and recorded 11 points, two rebounds, one assist and one block.
