Bulls' Patrick Williams: Returns to practice Monday
Williams (ankle) participated in Monday's practice session, K.C. Johnson of NBC Sports Chicago reports.
Williams was forced to leave Friday's preseason finale against the Cavaliers due to an ankle injury, though the Bulls may have kept him out of the game as a precaution. His ability to practice Monday is a step in the right direction for him to suit up for the Bulls' regular-season opener against the Pelicans on Wednesday. Williams is coming off an injury-riddled 2023-24 campaign, during which he averaged 10.0 points, 3.9 rebounds and 1.5 assists over 27.3 minutes per game across 43 regular-season outings (30 starts).

Bulls' Patrick Williams: Exits with ankle injury
Williams will not return to Friday's preseason finale versus the Cavaliers due to a left ankle injury. He finished the game with 10 points (4-8 FG, 2-5 3Pt), six rebounds, three assists and a block across 20 minutes.
Williams entered the night with a wrist injury, but it was not severe enough to keep him sidelined from the exhibition contest. It is unclear how serious his ankle injury is, other than he will not return. His status for Wednesday's regular-season opener is seemingly up in the air as of now. When healthy, he is expected to start at power forward this season.

Williams experienced foot discomfort during the Bulls' recent minicamp and has required additional rest in recent weeks, Darnell Mayberry of The Athletic reported Monday.

Bulls' Patrick Williams: Should be ready for training camp
Williams (foot) said Saturday that the bone in his foot is fully healed, and he should be ready for training camp in the fall, K.C. Johnson of NBC Sports Chicago reports.
Williams said he is now running and jumping pain-free after undergoing season-ending surgery in February. The 22-year-old signed a five-year, $90 million pact to stay with the Bulls this offseason, and his health will be a huge factor for the rebuilding club.

Bulls' Patrick Williams: Stays in Chicago on four-year deal
Williams (foot) and the Bulls agreed Saturday on a five-year, $90 million contract, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
Williams has had a lot of ups and downs with the Bulls after joining the organization as the No. 4 overall pick of the 2020 NBA Draft, but he's a career 41 percent shooter from beyond the arc who has excelled as an on-ball defender. Set to turn 23 years old in August, Williams may still have some untapped upside if he can avoid the health issues that cut short his 2021-22 and 2023-24 seasons. He's currently recovering from the left foot surgery he underwent in February, but the expectation is that he'll be ready to go for training camp.

Bulls' Patrick Williams: Bulls extend qualifying offer
The Bulls extended their qualifying offer to Williams (foot) on Monday, making him a restricted free agent, Jake Fischer of Yahoo Sports reports.
Williams will now be able to negotiate with other teams when free agency starts June 30; however, the Bulls will have the opportunity to match any offers he receives. The 22-year-old had his 2023-24 season cut short due to a left foot injury, and he averaged 10.0 points, 3.9 rebounds and 1.5 assists across 27.3 minutes in 43 regular-season appearances. While it is not fully clear what direction the Bulls are currently trending in, Williams is still young and would fit the mold of a rebuild player who could remain with the team for a significant time.
