Williams (groin) is out for Saturday's game versus the Wizards, Joel Lorenzi of The Athletic reports.
This will be Williams' first missed game this season due to injury. However, he hasn't been in the rotation, so Williams' absence from the active roster won't impact fantasy leagues.

Bulls' Patrick Williams: Now questionable for Saturday
Rotowire
Williams (groin) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Wizards.
Williams is a late addition to the injury report due to right groin soreness, so his status will be worth monitoring leading up to the 8:00 p.m. ET tipoff. He has yet to appear in a regular-season game, so his absence wouldn't have much of an impact on the Bulls' bench rotation.

Bulls' Patrick Williams: Outside initial rotation
Rotowire
Williams (coach's decision) did not play in Wednesday's 135-92 loss to Toronto.
Williams remained on Chicago's bench despite the Bulls suffering a 43-point defeat. His absence from the rotation is a concerning development for his early-season fantasy value, and he'll need to regain the coaching staff's trust to secure meaningful minutes.

Bulls' Patrick Williams: Modest bench role
Rotowire
Williams produced three points (1-3 FG, 1-2 3Pt) and three rebounds in 10 minutes during Friday's 104-100 preseason loss to the Grizzlies.
The 2020 No. 4 overall pick continues to fall out of favor in Chicago despite being in the middle of a four-year, $72 million contract. The Bulls drafted Caleb Wilson and Dailyn Swain this offseason to pair with Matas Buzelis, plus 2025 lottery pick Noa Essengue figures to be ahead of Williams on the developmental priority list as well.

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.

Williams is in the starting lineup for the second time in the last three games. In five starts this season, the 24-year-old has averaged 11.8 points, 4.2 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 0.4 blocks and 0.8 steals across 32.2 minutes.

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 finished with 15 points, eight rebounds, four assists, one steal and one block across 39 minutes as a starter in Thursday's 119-108 win over Washington. However, with Matas Buzelis (illness) back on the floor after missing the last three games, Williams will move back to the bench.

Bulls' Patrick Williams: Available Thursday
Rotowire
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.
