Patrick Williams Set to Play for Chicago Bulls Despite Recent Shoulder Injury

Chicago Bulls forward Patrick Williams is cleared to play in the team’s upcoming game against the Brooklyn Nets, despite a recent shoulder injury. According to Coach Billy Donovan, as reported by Joe Cowley of the Chicago Sun-Times, Williams will be active for Friday’s game.

Williams, who was drafted fourth overall in the 2020 NBA draft, has been managing a shoulder issue over the past few games. He was listed as probable for several matches, including the recent games against the Dallas Mavericks and the Utah Jazz. Despite the injury, Williams has shown resilience and has been available to play in key matchups.

In his recent performance against the Dallas Mavericks on November 6, Williams scored 8 points, grabbed 6 rebounds, and had 1 assist in 23 minutes of play. His contributions have been crucial for the Bulls, even though the team has faced some losses in their recent games.

At 23 years old, Williams continues to be an important part of the Bulls’ lineup, averaging 8.0 points, 5.4 rebounds, and 1.8 assists per game this season. His ability to recover quickly from injuries and maintain his performance level is a positive sign for the team).
