ESPN reported Saturday that Williams will have
a fifth-year player option. He was due to become a restricted
free agent next month.
The Bulls selected Williams, who turns 23 in August, with the
No. 4 overall pick in the 2020 NBA Draft out of Florida State.
A foot injury limited the 6-foot-7 power forward to just 43
games last season, and he put up 10.0 points, 3.9 rebounds and
1.5 assists per game.
He has career averages of 9.7 points, 4.2 rebounds and 1.3
assists while shooting 41.0 percent from 3-point range in 213
games.
The Bulls finished 39-43 last season.
