The Story in 60 Seconds

Golden State Warriors reserve guard Brandon Williams suffered a hamstring injury during Monday's 138-87 victory over the New Orleans Pelicans. The team announced Williams will undergo an MRI, raising concerns of missed time ahead of an upcoming road trip. The injury further depletes Golden State's backcourt depth, with Will Richard out with a thumb injury and Gary Payton II dealing with a knee issue.

Despite the setback, the Warriors completed an undefeated 6-0 homestand and extended their winning streak to eight games. Stephen Curry and Brandin Podziemski each scored 25 points, while rookie Yaxel Lendeborg contributed 23 points in the blowout victory against a Pelicans team playing without Zion Williamson and Trey Murphy III.
