Warriors Await MRI Results on Brandon Williams’ Hamstring

The Warriors’ eight-game winning streak continued with a 138-87 victory over New Orleans on November 9, but the team left the game concerned about backup point guard Brandon Williams. He suffered a hamstring injury during the win, and the team plans to have him undergo an MRI to assess its severity.

“He’s a huge part of our team,” coach Steve Kerr said after the game, describing Williams’ injury as a big concern. Kerr said Williams had given the team a lift.

Williams has averaged 10.4 points in 16.1 minutes per game this season. He joined Golden State on a one-year, $2.6 million contract during the offseason.

The MRI results will help determine how serious the injury is. The team has not established how long Williams might be out, and his return timeline remains unclear.
