Patrick Williams has a lot to play for in Bulls' final 16 games

Bulls forward Patrick Williams has one goal for the rest of the season: to stay on the court.

Staying healthy has eluded Williams for much of his career. Injuries have stunted his development. After appearing in 71 games his rookie season, Williams has played more than 50 games only once. He returned Monday against the Pacers from a right knee injury that sidelined him for a month.

Williams is frustrated with the extended absences. There’s a burden that comes with being a high lottery pick — No.
