Listed as questionable

Williams remains day-to-day for the Bulls ahead of the second leg of this back-to-back set. Leonard Miller is likely to shoulder a heavy workload if Williams is unable to play.

Ruled out vs. LA

Analysis
Williams was added to Chicago's injury report a day earlier as questionable due to an ankle injury, and after being downgraded to doubtful earlier Thursday, he's now officially been ruled out. Leonard Miller should be in store for more minutes with Williams out of commission.

Questionable for Thursday
Williams (ankle) is questionable for Thursday's game versus the Lakers.
Analysis
Williams missed Tuesday's win over the Warriors with the ankle issue, and with Thursday's game coming as the first in a back-to-back set, it wouldn't be surprising to see Williams spend at least one more game on the sidelines. Managers can expect to get official confirmation on his status closer to Thursday's tip.

Won't play against Golden State
Williams (ankle) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Warriors, Will Gottlieb of AllCHGO.com reports.
Analysis
Williams is working through a left ankle sprain that he may have picked up during the Bulls' 126-110 loss against the Kings on Sunday, when he played 17 minutes and finished with five points, one rebound and one block. Tuesday will mark the fifth time in six games that Williams will sit out, as he previously missed time due to a right quad strain. In his absence, the Bulls will rely more heavily on Guerschon Yabusele and Nick Richards off the bench behind Matas Buzelis and Jalen Smith (calf). Williams' next opportunity to play is Thursday against the Lakers.

Iffy for Tuesday
Williams is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Warriors due to a left ankle sprain.
Analysis
The ankle injury is a new concern for Williams, who recently missed four straight games due to a right quadriceps strain. If the 24-year-old forward is ultimately ruled out, Leonard Miller and Guerschon Yabusele would be candidates to see a bump in minutes.

Sees 17 minutes in return
Williams (quadriceps) provided five points (2-6 FG, 1-4 3Pt), one rebound and one block in 17 minutes during Sunday's 126-110 loss to the Kings.
Analysis
Williams returned from a four-game absence due to a right quad strain and made a limited impact off the bench. As long as the Bulls are at close to full health, Williams may have difficulty pushing past 20 minutes with much regularity.

Good to go Sunday
Williams (quadriceps) is available for Sunday's game against the Kings.
Analysis
Williams missed the last four games due to a right quadriceps strain, but he will return to the lineup Sunday. Over his last four appearances, Williams has averaged 8.3 points, 2.8 rebounds and 2.8 assists in 24.3 minutes per contest.
