EDGE Analysis

After sustaining a sprained ankle during training camp that was expected to keep Williams sidelined for four-to-six weeks, the Florida State product is reportedly progressing ahead of schedule. The soon-to-be second-year pro may be ready to return to the court as soon as Friday. Whenever Williams returns to the Bulls lineup, expect Javonte Green to revert back to his role as a bench piece.
