Bulls' Patrick Williams: Muted impact in season-ending loss
Rotowire
Williams accumulated zero points (0-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt), two rebounds and one steal across 15 minutes during Wednesday's 109-90 Play-In Game loss to the Heat.
Williams had a disappointing 2024-25 campaign, shooting a career-low 39.7 percent from the field. The 23-year-old forward averaged 9.0 points, 3.8 rebounds and 2.0 assists in 25.0 minutes across 63 appearances, including 36 starts, this season. While Williams is still a quality defender, it appears he may have lost his long-term starting spot to Matas Buzelis.

Bulls' Patrick Williams: Could return for upcoming road trip
Rotowire
Bulls head coach Billy Donovan said Sunday that Williams (knee) will begin ramping up this week and could be available for the team's two-game road trip that begins Thursday in Orlando, K.C. Johnson of Chicago Sports Network reports.
Williams was sidelined for Sunday's 127-112 loss to the Pacers, marking his sixth straight absence due to a right quadricep tendinitis in his right knee. Based on Donovan's comments, Williams will remain out Tuesday versus the Cavaliers, but if he's able to practice Wednesday, the 23-year-old forward might be back in action versus the Magic or for the final game of the road trip Saturday in Miami. Williams' eventual return could result in fewer minutes being available for Matas Buzelis and Julian Phillips.
