Williams

Yabusele and Williams were initially listed as questionable for Friday’s game after sitting out Thursday’s loss to the Lakers. Williams has missed six of the Bulls’ last seven games, so his playing time may be limited on Friday. As for Yabusele, a return to the starting lineup may be in the cards, as Jalen Smith (calf) is out.

Williams was downgraded to doubtful earlier in the day, and he has now officially been ruled out. This will be his sixth absence in Chicago’s last seven games, which means Nick Richards should continue to take on extra minutes off the bench.

Both players were downgraded to doubtful, which is never a good sign this close to tip-off. With Jalen Smith (calf) also downgraded to questionable, the Bulls could be really shorthanded in the front court. That would leave lots of minutes for Nick Richards and then the Bulls’ full complement of guards.

Sexton and Williams were held out of Tuesday’s win over the Warriors, resulting in more minutes for Rob Dillingham and Nick Richards. Chicago went with an eight-man rotation against Golden State, and they may have to do so again if Sexton and Williams can’t play.

Having played 17 minutes in Sunday’s loss to the Kings after missing four games with a strained quad, Williams will not be available on Tuesday. While he has been a non-factor in fantasy basketball, Williams’ absence frees up a few minutes for fellow reserve Leonard Miller.

Williams was back in the Bulls’ rotation on Sunday after missing four games with a strained quad, playing 17 minutes off the bench in a loss to the Kings. If available, he’ll likely take on a similar workload, which makes Williams a non-factor in most fantasy leagues.

Williams is back after having missed the Bulls’ last four games with a strained quad. Like Jalen Smith, his playing time will be restricted on Sunday. Given what Williams has produced when his minutes aren’t restricted, there’s no need to slot him into fantasy lineups.

Williams has missed Chicago’s lastfour games with a strained quad. If he’s able to play, Williams is likely to come off the bench, which does him no favors as a player with limited fantasy value.

As expected, Williams will remain sidelined for another game with this strained quad. Chicago will be incredibly shorthanded for this game, meaning Leonard Miller should slide in as a starter at forward.

Williams suffered a strained quad during the Bulls’ February 24 loss to the Hornets and has not appeared in a game since. With the doubtful tag for Thursday, he’s likely to miss a fourth consecutive game. His absence has not affected fantasy basketball.
