Williams (wrist) was recalled to the Bulls from their G League affiliate Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Rob Schaefer of NBC Sports Chicago reports that Williams will practice with the Bulls on Sunday and could return to game action as soon as Monday's contest against the Raptors. The second-year forward made just five appearances (all starts) this season before being sidelined due to a wrist injury. During that stretch, he averaged 6.6 points and 2.2 rebounds in 24.8 minutes per game.

Williams (wrist) has been assigned to the G League for rehab purposes and is targeting a return-to-game action for the Bulls sometime next week, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Williams has not played since all the way back on Oct. 28 after undergoing wrist surgery, but he's in the final stages of his ramp-up plan and could be back on the floor for Chicago as soon as Monday's home matchup against Toronto. It's unclear if Williams will play for the Windy City Bulls in Sunday's G League matchup against Westchester or if he'll simply practice with the team while the Bulls finish out a three-game road swing in Phoenix on Friday night. Either way, Williams' return appears imminent, and he'll provide a major boost on the defensive end, in particular, with the postseason approaching.

According to Bulls' head coach Billy Donovan, Williams (wrist) has been cleared for full contact, K.C. Johnson of NBC Sports Chicago reports.

EDGE Analysis

Williams hasn't played since Oct. 28 due to wrist surgery, but it sounds like he could be on the verge of returning soon after being cleared for full contact Wednesday. Donovan indicated that Williams could practice with the Windy City Bulls while the Bulls are away on their road trip, so it looks like he'll start ramping up right away with the goal of returning to the court by the end of March.

Wiliams (wrist) is expected to gain clearance to return during the second half of March, Cody Westerlund of 670TheScore.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Head coach Billy Donovan declined to provide a concrete return date, but he did note he'll likely use Williams off the bench when he is cleared to play in an effort to prevent any setbacks. The Florida State product hasn't seen any game action since Oct. 28 after undergoing surgery on his left wrist to repair torn ligaments.

Williams (wrist) has been cleared for minimal-contact workouts and may return to practice Friday, K.C. Johnson of NBC Sports Chicago reports.

EDGE Analysis

Williams will begin contact work for the first time since suffering the wrist injury at the end of October. Johnson relays that the 20-year-old's rehab process is still behind Alex Caruso, but barring any setbacks from his minimal-contact workouts, Williams should be back at practice by the end of the week. If he is cleared for full practices soon, his return to game action should be right around the corner.

Bulls head coach Billy Donovan said Williams (wrist) took part in individual non-contact work during Sunday's practice, K.C. Johnson of NBC Sports Chicago reports.

EDGE Analysis

The update from Donovan represents no notable change in Williams' status, as the 20-year-old had already been working out on the court when the Bulls returned from the All-Star break. Until Williams gets the green light to take part in full-contact, full-court practices, his return to action shouldn't be viewed as imminent. The same applies to Lonzo Ball (knee) and Alex Caruso (wrist), who are all working out but have yet to graduate to full-contact work.

Williams (wrist) has started working with the ball again, but has yet to ramp up to contact drills or participating in practice, Rob Schaefer of NBC Sports Chicago reports.

EDGE Analysis

Williams has made significant progress in healing from wrist surgery and will now continue with ball work until he is cleared for practice. His return date still remains at least a few weeks away but it is looking much more positive that the 20-year-old will return before the end of the regular season.

Bulls head coach Billy Donovan said Sunday that Williams (wrist) has been ramping up his conditioning lately and thinks "there's a very strong possibility" the second-year forward returns by the end of the regular season, Cody Westerlund of 670TheScore.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Williams underwent surgery to repair torn ligaments in his left wrist at the end of October and was expected to be sidelined for 4-to-6 months. If he's able to return by the front end of that timeline, the Bulls could have Williams back by the end of February. Williams' return at any point down the road would be a major boon for the Bulls, who are currently without three rotation players for extended periods of time in Alex Caruso (wrist), Lonzo Ball (knee), and Derrick Jones (knee). Meanwhile, Zach LaVine (back) and Coby White (groin) are out for Sunday's game against the 76ers with injuries that are believed to be more minor.

Williams (wrist) will undergo surgery to repair torn ligaments in his left wrist from an injury sustained during Thursday's matchup with the Knicks and is expected to miss four-to-six months.

EDGE Analysis

Initial reports stated that Williams would miss the rest of the regular season, but if he is able to return by the four-month mark, then he would be back by late February, which would give him ample time to gear up for the playoffs. If his return is closer to the six-month mark, then he will likely be out through the first-round of the playoffs. After their offseason acquisitions of Lonzo Ball, DeMar DeRozan and Alex Caruso, the Bulls are expected to make the playoffs, so a postseason return could be in the cards for Williams. However, the most likely chance of him playing again this season would involve him progressing well throughout rehab and avoiding setbacks. Troy Brown, Javonte Green and Alize Johnson will all be candidates for increased role during Williams' absence.

Williams (wrist) is expected to undergo surgery for his dislocated wrist and is expected to miss the remainder of the season, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

This is absolutely devastating news for the second-year-pro and the Bulls. Williams came into the season questionable with an ankle injury, but he was able to return in time for the start of the season. The Bulls will now be without their young forward for the remainder of the year. Alex Caruso saw a season-high 32 minutes during the game in which Williams exited early, which may indicate that the reserve guard could be in store for more opportunities. Troy Brown, Javonte Green and Alize Johnson also emerge as candidates to pick up additional playing time as well amid Williams' rest-of-season absence.
