Williams (foot) will not play Wednesday against the Magic.
EDGE Analysis
Williams will miss his fifth straight game and remains without a return timetable. Recent imaging revealed inflammation in his surgically repaired left foot, so the Bulls are likely to proceed with caution. Ayo Dosunmu has entered the starting lineup in Williams' absence, with Zach LaVine shifting to power forward in a small-ball lineup.

Williams (foot) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Wizards.
EDGE Analysis
Williams is slated to miss his fourth straight game after imaging revealed inflammation in his surgically repaired left foot. It would be surprising if the oft-injured forward was cleared for the second half of Chicago's back-to-back set, but his status for Wednesday's game versus the Magic remains to be determined. In Williams' absence, Ayo Dosunmu has slid into the starting lineup, shifting Zach LaVine to the four.

Williams (foot) has already been ruled out for Wednesday's game against Milwaukee and will also miss Chicago's back-to-back set Friday versus Atlanta and Saturday versus Memphis, K.C. Johnson of NBC Sports Chicago reports.
EDGE Analysis
Williams is dealing with inflammation in his left foot, which is notable after the 23-year-old underwent left foot surgery in February to address what was originally diagnosed as an acute bone edema, then deemed a stress reaction. Williams' flare-up could help explain why he combined for just 15 points (5-19 FG) across his last two games, which came on the heels of averaging a healthy 14.0 points on 48.9 percent shooting -- including 50.0 percent of 4.8 three-point attempts per game -- across his last five contests. Tuesday against Washington represents his next opportunity to take the court.

Williams (foot) will not play Wednesday against the Bucks, Julia Poe of the Chicago Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Bulls are describing this as a precautionary absence, but it's worth noting that Williams stayed back in Chicago to undergo some imaging on his foot. For now, he should be considered questionable for Friday's game against the Hawks. With Williams sidelined Wednesday, players such as Julian Phillips, Matas Buzelis and Torrey Craig will be candidates to see more run.

Williams (foot) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game versus the Bucks.
EDGE Analysis
Williams continues to deal with bilateral foot soreness, but being listed as questionable instead of probable indicates that he is more likely to miss Wednesday's contest than he was Monday. If Williams is ultimately forced to sit out, Julian Phillips, Matas Buzelis and Torrey Craig are candidates to receive increased playing time.

Williams (foot) is available for Monday's game against the Pistons.
EDGE Analysis
Williams popped up on Monday's injury report due to bilateral foot soreness, but the 2020 first-round pick will play through the issue. Since and including Nov. 1, Williams has averaged 11.6 points, 4.6 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 1.1 steals over 28.6 minutes per game.

Williams is probable for Monday's game against the Pistons due to bilateral foot soreness.
EDGE Analysis
Before Sunday's dud during a blowout loss to Houston, Williams had scored in double figures in five straight games, averaging 14.0 points, 5.2 rebounds, 3.6 assists, 1.8 steals and 0.8 blocks in 32.6 minutes during that stretch. The fifth-year forward should suit up Monday and play around 30 minutes if given the green light.

Williams logged seven points (2-9 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound and one assist over 16 minutes during Sunday's 143-107 loss to the Rockets.
EDGE Analysis
Sunday's game was a massive blowout, impacting the minutes of Chicago's regulars. Among the starters, Zach LaVine led the team in minutes played with 26. Williams was red hot coming into Sunday's game, so fantasy managers will simply need to chalk this up as a dud and give him another chance.

Williams totaled 18 points (6-9 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), six rebounds, two assists and two steals across 33 minutes during Wednesday's 124-123 victory over New York.
EDGE Analysis
Williams' efficient shooting helped him post a season-high 18 points during Wednesday's narrow win. While the 23-year-old forward is converting 38.2 percent of his 4.6 three-point attempts per contest this season, he is shooting just 37.4 percent from the field overall.

EDGE Analysis
