The Golden State Warriors are positively cruising, despite dealing with a lot of injuries. Jimmy Butler III and Moses Moody have yet to play this season, and are still a few months away, 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.
And unfortunately, those injuries took a hit on Monday, during the Warriors’ home game over the New Orleans Pelicans,
as reserve guard Brandon Williams left the game with a hamstring injury and has been ruled out for the rest of the contest. As usual, Williams entered the game in the first quarter, and immediately provided a spark with an instant burst of super-speedy offense. But his initial stint on the court was short lived, and when the second quarter arrived, it was two-way contract LJ Cryer on the court rather than Williams.
In the third quarter, the Warriors officially ruled Williams out for the rest of the game with a left hamstring injury. Hopefully it’s minor, and won’t cost the electric guard much time.
