Patrick Williams

Williams was initially listed as probable with an ankle injury, so his availability isn't much of a surprise. He returned from a two-game absence Thursday with five points and three rebounds in 16 minutes off the bench in the win over the Timberwolves. Williams isn't worth rostering in most fantasy leagues.

Williams returned to the lineup on Thursday after missing Chicago's previous two games. He is expected to be available again when they take on Boston, and he should see a similar workload to his 16 minutes against Minnesota.

Williams will be back after missing Chicago's last two games. Kevin Huerter may lose out on a few minutes, but it won't dramatically impact fantasy basketball.

Williams has missed Chicago's last two games with a sprained right ankle. His availability may result in more minutes for Kevin Huerter, but it does not affect fantasy basketball in any other way.
