Bulls' Patrick Williams: Fills box score in finale
Rotowire
Williams totaled 13 points (5-15 FG, 2-9 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds, five assists, one block and three steals over 36 minutes during Sunday's 149-128 loss to Dallas.
The 2020 first-rounder finished up another pretty disappointing campaign for the Bulls. Williams averaged 7.0 points, 3.0 rebounds and 1.5 assists in 72 games (six starts) this season, shooting a career-low 37.2 percent from the field. Williams is under contract for 2026-27 and appears ticketed for a reserve role on the wing once more.

Bulls' Patrick Williams: Available versus Mavericks
Rotowire
Williams (thumb) will play in Sunday's game against Dallas.
The thumb sprain isn't anything new, although it hasn't kept Williams off the floor. He got the start in Thursday's 119-108 win over Washington before moving back to the bench in Friday's 127-103 loss to Orlando. With one more game left on the schedule before Chicago calls it a season, Williams has the chance to put together a strong scoring effort versus a Mavericks squad that hasn't shined defensively throughout the campaign.

Bulls' Patrick Williams: Probable for Sunday
Rotowire
Williams (thumb) is probable for Sunday's game in Dallas.
Williams has been playing through a sprained thumb on his non-shooting hand the past few games, and it looks like he'll continue to do so in Chicago's regular-season finale. Matas Buzelis (ankle) has already been ruled out, so Williams could be looking at another start Sunday.

Bulls' Patrick Williams: Significant role yields little
Rotowire
Williams closed with eight points (3-10 FG, 2-6 3Pt), four rebounds and one steal in 27 minutes during Friday's 127-103 loss to the Magic.
Williams was unable to keep up his recent production, instead delivering a more 'typical' performance, despite continuing to play meaningful minutes. It is unclear whether Chicago is going to stay the course when it comes to Williams next season, given his inability to add tangible value to the team. As for fantasy, there is no reason to think he will have any appeal moving forward.

Williams (thumb) is available for Thursday's game versus Washington.
No surprise here, as Williams is overcoming a probable tag with a sprained left thumb. The sixth-year forward put up a season-high 20 points in Tuesday's win over the Wizards, so he'll be looking to build on that success in Thursday's rematch.

Bulls' Patrick Williams: Unproductive despite solid role
Rotowire
Williams finished with two points (1-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and one rebound across 19 minutes during Monday's 132-124 win over Houston.
Williams continues to do very little with his time on the floor, sitting well outside the top 300 in five games over the past two weeks, despite averaging 21.5 minutes per contest. As has been the story for much of his career, Williams can't seem to find any sort of rhythm on either end of the court. For fantasy purposes, he holds little to no value, no matter the format.

Bulls' Patrick Williams: Questionable for Thursday
Rotowire
Williams (ankle) is questionable for Thursday's game versus the Lakers.
Williams missed Tuesday's win over the Warriors with the ankle issue, and with Thursday's game coming as the first in a back-to-back set, it wouldn't be surprising to see Williams spend at least one more game on the sidelines. Managers can expect to get official confirmation on his status closer to Thursday's tip.

Bulls' Patrick Williams: Won't play against Golden State
Rotowire
Williams (ankle) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Warriors, Will Gottlieb of AllCHGO.com reports.
Williams is working through a left ankle sprain that he may have picked up during the Bulls' 126-110 loss against the Kings on Sunday, when he played 17 minutes and finished with five points, one rebound and one block. Tuesday will mark the fifth time in six games that Williams will sit out, as he previously missed time due to a right quad strain. In his absence, the Bulls will rely more heavily on Guerschon Yabusele and Nick Richards off the bench behind Matas Buzelis and Jalen Smith (calf). Williams' next opportunity to play is Thursday against the Lakers.

Bulls' Patrick Williams: Iffy for Tuesday
Rotowire
Williams is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Warriors due to a left ankle sprain.
The ankle injury is a new concern for Williams, who recently missed four straight games due to a right quadriceps strain. If the 24-year-old forward is ultimately ruled out, Leonard Miller and Guerschon Yabusele would be candidates to see a bump in minutes.
