Williams is dealing with an upper respiratory infection and is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Bulls, Mark Medina of the Los Angeles Daily News reports.

Analysis:

Williams sat out Wednesday's practice due to the illness, and the Lakers will see how he's feeling Thursday morning before updating his status. The veteran guard is averaging 15.5 points in 29.3 minutes on the season, but he's upped his scoring to 20.5 points in January. If the illness ends up holding Williams out of Thursday's game, D'Angelo Russell could enter the starting five.
