Julia Poe @byjuliapoeAlthough he doesn’t have a date, Billy said Patrick Williams will be back on the court in March.
The main concern from team staff and doctors is putting Patrick in a position where he won’t get tired or risk a setback while he’s still regaining strength in the hand/wrist. – 8:36 PM
Rob Schaefer @rob_schaefBulls don’t have a return date for Patrick Williams yet, but Billy Donovan said he’s pretty sure it will be before end of March
Said Williams will play important role, but that if team is fully whole, he prefers to ease Williams in off the bench, given how much time he’s missed – 8:35 PM

More on this storyline
KC Johnson: Patrick Williams did all of practice except the contact portions, per Donovan. Williams does “controlled contact” with player development coaches. -via Twitter @KCJHoop / March 11, 2022 KC Johnson: Alex Caruso has been cleared for contact and Patrick Williams has been cleared for minimal contact, per Billy Donovan. Both may practice Friday but they need to see how next days of workouts go. -via Twitter @KCJHoop / March 9, 2022 KC Johnson: Billy Donovan said Alex Caruso will need to be checked out by doctor again before he’s cleared for contact.
