NEW YORK – It’s never a good thing when setbacks have become a regular part of a player’s development.
Then again, very little has seemingly gone right when it comes to Bulls forward Patrick Williams.
Prior to the game with the Knicks on Thursday, the organization announced that Williams would be shut down for at least two weeks, receiving a platelet rich plasma (PRP) injection in his right knee to help treat tendinosis.
Considering Williams had already lost his starting job to rookie Matas Buzelis and again was passive on far too many nights, spending more time in street clothes was not exactly going to help turn around his 2024-25 campaign, especially after the Bulls extended him for five years, $90 million last offseason.
