On Thursday, the Chicago Bulls (22-33) made an announcement on Patrick Williams hours before the team was set to face the New York Knicks (36-18) at Madison Square Garden. Per ESPN BET, the Bulls enter the contest as a 12.5-point underdog to the Knicks.
The Bulls aren’t expected to win many games against .500 teams for the rest of the season after trading away Zach LaVine to the Sacramento Kings earlier this month. Chicago will be short on help for the foreseeable future.
