Bulls' Patrick Williams Sidelined for At Least Two Weeks Due to Foot Injury

Rookie Julian Phillips to See Increased Playing Time in Williams' Absence

Chicago Bulls forward Patrick Williams is expected to miss at least two more weeks due to an acute bone edema in his left foot.
Williams has been dealing with injuries to his right ankle and left foot throughout the past few weeks and was wearing a walking boot while he missed Sunday's game against the Blazers.
The Bulls are already playing without guard Zach LaVine, who has been sidelined for nearly two weeks with a right ankle sprain, and Torrey Craig, who has not played since Dec.16 with a foot injury.
Rookie Julian Phillips is expected to see increased playing time in Williams' absence.
Williams, 22, has played 43 games and made 30 starts during his fourth season in Chicago. He is averaging 10.0 points, 3.9 rebounds and 1.5 assists while shooting 44% this season.
