Brandon Williams Warriors hamstring injury, Digi Mart USA News: The Golden State Warriors are winning comfortably despite a long list of injuries. Jimmy Butler III and Moses Moody have yet to play this season and are still a few months away from returning, while Kristaps Porziņģis is stepping away from the sport.
Gui Santos and Gary Payton II have struggled with injuries in the opening weeks, and Will Richard is sidelined with a UCL tear in his thumb. Those injuries were joined on Monday during the Warriors’ home game against the New Orleans Pelicans, when reserve guard Brandon Williams left the game with a hamstring injury.
As usual, Williams entered the game in the first quarter and immediately provided a spark with an instant burst of fast offense. His initial stint on the court was short, however, and when the second quarter began, two-way contract player LJ Cryer was on the court instead of Williams.
In the third quarter, the Warriors officially ruled Williams out for the rest of the game with a left hamstring injury. The severity of the injury has not been detailed in the report, but the hope is that it is minor and will not keep the electric guard sidelined for long.
