Brandon Williams leaves Warriors game with hamstring injury

Golden State Warriors reserve guard Brandon Williams exited Monday's home game against the New Orleans Pelicans due to a left hamstring injury. Williams entered during the first quarter to provide an offensive spark, but his playing time was cut short. The team officially ruled him out for the remainder of the contest in the third quarter, with two-way guard LJ Cryer taking on minutes in his place.

The setback adds to a growing list of injuries for Golden State. Jimmy Butler III and Moses Moody remain months away from returning, while Kristaps Porziņģis is stepping away from basketball. Additionally, Will Richard is sidelined with a thumb injury, and both Gui Santos and Gary Payton II have dealt with physical issues early in the season.
