What happened: Golden State Warriors guard Brandon Williams underwent an MRI that revealed a mild left hamstring strain. Williams suffered the injury during Monday's 138-87 victory over the New Orleans Pelicans. He will be re-evaluated in one week.
Why it matters: Williams, who joined Golden State on a one-year, $2.6M Warriors deal in August, has served as a key rotation guard during the team's eight-game winning streak. Golden State stands at 8-3 in 2026-27 through 11 games, holding the fourth seed in the Western Conference.
By the numbers: Williams has recorded 10.4 points per game and 2.1 rebounds per game and 2.3 assists per game in 2026-27 through 10 games.
What to watch: Williams will be re-evaluated in one week to assess his recovery. The Warriors will adjust their backcourt rotation during his absence.
