While the Warriors dominated the New Orleans Pelicans during Monday's win, they did suffer a loss during the contest, as backup point guard Brandon Williams was forced to leave the game after just two minutes due to injury. Following Golden State's rest day, NBA insider Anthony Slater revealed that Williams will miss at least one week with what was diagnosed to be a mild left hamstring strain.

This could potentially sideline him for all five games in Golden State's upcoming road trip, which begins Wednesday against the Houston Rockets. In 10 games to begin the season, Williams has provided the Warriors exactly what they were looking for, averaging 10.4 points, 2.3 assists, 2.1 rebounds, 0.9 steals and 0.4 blocks in 16.1 minutes per game as a reserve. In his place, the Warriors are likely to lean on Stephen Curry, De'Anthony Melton and two-way guard LJ Cryer.
