Warriors’ Brandon Williams to Miss at Least a Week

Williams was hurt early in the Warriors’ blowout victory over the Pelicans. An MRI after the game showed a slight hamstring pull, with his status due for review in seven days.

The fifth-year guard is in his first season with Golden State and has provided important minutes off the bench. He is averaging 10.4 points, 2.3 assists and 2.1 rebounds in 16.1 minutes per game.

The Warriors have won eight consecutive games after opening the season 0-3. Reserve guard Will Richard is also unavailable after injuring his left thumb in Saturday’s win over Orlando. He is weighing surgery against using a splint for a tear of the ulnar collateral ligament.
