Golden State Warriors guard Brandon Williams has a mild left hamstring strain and will be re-evaluated in one week, the team said on Tuesday, Nov. 10.
Williams left Monday’s 138-87 win over the New Orleans Pelicans with 3:18 remaining in the first quarter. The Warriors said he underwent an MRI that night. Hoops Rumors, citing ESPN’s Anthony Slater, reported the same diagnosis and timeline. The team said Williams has averaged 10.4 points, 2.3 assists and 2.1 rebounds in 10 games (one start) this season.

The second-year guard, a key part of the Warriors' seven-game winning streak, will miss Monday's game at Chase Center and has no set timeline to return.
The No. 11 pick had 25 points and 10 rebounds in Wednesday's 115-108 loss at Houston after Curry exited with an oblique abdominal tear. The Warriors say Curry will be reevaluated in two weeks. The Standard calculated that as at least six games. Draymond Green said Lendeborg has to recognize when he is the best player on the floor.
The Warriors said an MRI confirmed an oblique abdominal tear after Stephen Curry left Wednesday's loss in Houston. An AP account of the same update called it a strain. He will be re-evaluated in two weeks.
The Warriors lost 123-85 to the San Antonio Spurs in NBA Cup play Friday after falling behind 18-0, the team reported, as Yaxel Lendeborg went 1-for-13 and later told The Mercury News, "I'm cooked right now."
Curry exited in the first quarter with right abdominal soreness, made one 3-pointer, and left the arena in the second half for imaging. The Warriors had not received the results when Kerr spoke, NBA.com reported.
