The Chicago Bulls are in first place in the Eastern Conference despite a spate of injuries to key rotation players. Fortunately for Chicago, a major reinforcement may be on the way in the form of second-year wing Patrick Williams.

Bulls coach Billy Donovan said there is a "very good possibility" that Williams will return this season. Donovan said he doesn't have a timeline, but that with no setbacks, Williams should get back on the floor before the season ends.

Williams was injured in the season's fifth game. He had been starting alongside DeMar DeRozan and Zach LaVine on the wing for Chicago. The Bulls are also without Lonzo Ball, Alex Caruso and Derrick Jones Jr. due to long-term injuries.
