Bulls Injury Update: Patrick Williams Out vs. Blazers

Originally posted on On Tap Sports Net | By Jonnie Nonnie | Last updated 1/27/24

The Chicago Bulls will be a bit shorthanded for their West Coast road trip finale. Patrick Williams won't suit up Sunday against the Portland Trail Blazers due to left midfoot soreness.

Williams has frequented the Bulls' injury report in recent weeks due to a right ankle strain but played through it. However, his left foot issue will keep him out for Sunday's contest.

On the season, Williams is averaging 10 points, 3.9 rebounds, and 1.5 assists per game across 43 contests. In Thursday's loss to the Los Angeles Lakers, the fourth-year forward posted six points, six rebounds, two assists, and two blocks in 24 minutes of action.

The Florida State product joins a Bulls' injury report that includes Lonzo Ball, Torrey Craig, and Zach LaVine. The Blazers tout the NBA's worst offense, so missing Williams' defensive presence shouldn't severely hinder the Bulls' chances of salvaging a game on their road swing.

Sunday's tip-off is at 8 PM CT and the game will air on NBC Sports Chicago.
