Billy Donovan provides update on Patrick Williams and Alex Caruso’s situation

His presence would probably not have been too much, that night, to face Ja Morant. Absent from the courts since January 21, after being knocked to the ground by Grayson Allen, Alex Caruso is getting closer to a return. The replacement point guard will be able to start using his bruised wrist again next week.

Optimistic, his coach Billy Donovan believes that he should quickly get back into shape. “ We’re going to start making him do things with the ball. He really worked hard, every day, on his physical condition. He really pushes himself to exhaustion. I don’t worry about it “, details the technicianspecifying that his player has not yet been able to start dribbling or shooting again.

It is recalled that his absence had been evaluated at 6 to 8 weeks. The former Lakers player therefore seems to be on schedule, like his counterpart Lonzo Ball, injured in the knee, who is due to return in mid-March.

Williams back for the playoffs?

Other good news for the Bulls comes from Patrick Williams, also injured in the wrist but in the infirmary since the end of October. According to the Chicago TribuneBilly Donovan expects a return within six weeks.

The young winger was allowed to resume shooting but the Bulls medical staff prefer to wait until he regains strength in his operated wrist before resuming contact exercises. While waiting for this return, the date of which is not yet known, the coach says he is not opposed to the idea of ​​sending him back to the five or getting him off the bench.

A big part of the question will be whether, once he returns to training, he will be subject to a minutes restriction. How many minutes can he chain? And what is the best role for him to help the team?

In the absence of the young defender, Javonte Green showed guarantees in the five of the Bulls by turning to 8.5 points and almost 5 rebounds on average.

This is much harder to get a player back into the rotation who has been out for a long time and has no rhythm “recalls Donovan announcing:” Players will evolve in different roles, different situations. The team will have another face at a time when we will have very few matches to try to play very good basketball.
