Williams recently reported a positive update on his recovery from a bone bruise, which has kept him sidelined. He has been cleared to increase his activity levels, signaling a promising development as he gears up for the 2024-25 season.
“I’m running and jumping now without any pain or swelling,” Williams shared. “The bone has healed completely, so it’s mostly about regaining my strength and agility.
The recovery mainly involves rest and ensuring I don’t put too much strain on the affected foot. I’m also focusing on refining my running and walking techniques and engaging in preventive measures. Essentially, it’s a matter of allowing my body to heal naturally.”
During the previous season with the Bulls, Williams averaged 10 points and 3.9 rebounds per game over 27.3 minutes of play. Despite limited playing time, he managed to maintain an average of at least 10 points per game for the second consecutive year.
Additionally, he demonstrated notable proficiency from beyond the arc, shooting 39.9 percent from three-point range—a performance the Bulls hope he can sustain in the upcoming season.
The Bulls are currently navigating a period of rebuilding and searching for a new team identity, leaving some uncertainty about the team’s future direction. Nonetheless, the organization remains optimistic about Williams’ potential to stay injury-free and become a cornerstone for their long-term plans.
