NEW DELHI: Chicago Bulls forward Patrick Williams is set to endure an extended absence as he battles an injured left foot. The 22-year-old, who missed the recent 104-96 victory against Portland due to the foot issue, has been diagnosed with acute bone edema. As a result, Williams is expected to sit out for at least an additional two weeks.
The Bulls officially announced the setback on Tuesday, revealing that Williams will undergo a reassessment after the two-week period to gauge the progress of his recovery. The 6-foot-7 forward has been a key contributor for the team this season, averaging 10 points, 3.9 rebounds, 1.5 assists, and logging an average of 27.3 minutes per game.

The team will closely monitor his recovery process, aiming for a swift return to action for the talented forward.
