Won't return Monday Williams has been ruled out for the remainder of Monday's game against the Pelicans due to a left hamstring injury, Danny Emerman of SFStandard.com reports. He'll finish with four...

Impact Williams didn't see much action Monday before going down with a hamstring injury. He dealt with a left quadriceps contusion earlier in November and has evidently picked up a hamstring issue on the same leg. Williams can be considered day-to-day until Golden State shares more on the severity of the injury.

Omitted from injury report Williams (quadriceps) isn't listed on the injury report for Thursday's game against the Heat.

Impact Williams missed Monday's win over Phoenix due to a left quad contusion, though he participated in Wednesday's practice and will return to action Thursday. Through seven regular-season appearances (one start), he's averaging 11.6 points, 2.9 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1.0 steals in 17.3 minutes per tilt.

Won't play Monday Williams (quadriceps) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Suns.

Impact Williams will be held out of the second leg of this back-to-back set due to a left quad contusion. His next chance to play will come Thursday against Miami. Will Richard and De'Anthony Melton could see a bump in minutes in Williams' stead.

NOVEMBER 3 • ROTOWIRE

Iffy to play Monday Williams (quadriceps) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Suns.

Impact Williams is dealing with a left quadriceps contusion and could sit out the back end of this back-to-back set. If the 26-year-old guard is unable to suit up, Will Richard and De'Anthony Melton could see increased burn.

Pops for 17 off bench Sunday Williams ended with 17 points (7-11 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds, three assists and one block across 25 minutes off the bench during Sunday's 124-112 victory over the Clipp...

Impact The 26-year-old guard played more than 20 minutes for the second time in seven games so far this season, and both times the extra run has come while Stephen Curry (rest) wasn't in the lineup. In those two contests (one start), Williams has averaged 18.5 points, 4.0 assists, 3.0 boards, 2.0 threes and 1.0 steals in 24.5 minutes, giving him some DFS appeal the next time Curry gets a night off.

Rookie Lendeborg scores career-high 37 points, Warriors top Clippers 124-112 without Curry, Green

Scores 11 points off bench Williams tallied 11 points (4-11 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), three rebounds and an assist across 14 minutes in Wednesday's 119-114 win over the Timberwolves.

Impact Williams reached double figures despite playing fewer than 15 minutes, demonstrating an aggressive offensive approach with 11 field-goal attempts. However, his inefficient shooting and limited contributions outside scoring restricted his fantasy impact. Williams' reserve role remains the main obstacle to consistent production, but he can be a decent waiver pickup if you need a streaming option for your backcourt. He has scored in double digits in three of his five appearances this season despite shooting 34.1 percent from the floor and 33.3 percent from deep.

Shifting to bench Williams will come off the bench Monday night against Denver, Danny Emerman of SFStandard.com reports.

Impact Williams will rotate back to the bench with Stephen Curry returning from a rest day Saturday. Williams has totaled 18 points in 27 minutes over his first two games off the bench this season.

OCTOBER 27 • ROTOWIRE

Upgraded to available Williams (back) is available for Monday's game against the Nuggets.

Impact Williams was deemed probable Sunday due to left lower back soreness, but he's been cleared to play and should see minutes off the bench in the Warriors' backcourt. He started against Phoenix on Saturday in a game where the Warriors rested several starters and posted 20 points with five assists, so he's likely to handle a decent role with the second unit.

OCTOBER 27 • ROTOWIRE

Probable against Denver Williams is probable for Monday's game against the Nuggets due to left lower back soreness.

Impact The back issue seems to be new for Williams, but he is expected to play through it Monday. Williams got a spot start Saturday against the Suns due to Golden State resting many players, and he made the most of the opportunity, recording 20 points (5-10 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 8-11 FT), five assists, three rebounds and two steals in 24 minutes.

OCTOBER 25 • ROTOWIRE

Drops 20 points in spot start Williams accumulated 20 points (5-10 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 8-11 FT), three rebounds, five assists and two steals over 24 minutes during Saturday's 131-122 loss to the Suns.

Impact With Golden State opting to rest a number of players, Williams was inserted into the starting lineup for the first time this season. He certainly made the most of his opportunity, finishing as one of three Warriors players to score at least 20 points. While this is likely just a one-off, it is worth keeping an eye on Williams' role moving forward. Should Golden State's trajectory continue downward, there is a world where Williams could see more run later in the season.

Starting vs. Phoenix Williams will start Saturday's game against Phoenix, Dalton Johnson of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Impact With Stephen Curry (rest) out, Williams will draw his first regular-season start with the Warriors. Through two regular-season games, he's averaging 9.0 points, 3.0 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 2.0 steals in 13.5 minutes per tilt.

OCTOBER 25 • ROTOWIRE

Busy off bench in opener Williams ended with 14 points (3-12 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 7-7 FT), four rebounds, three assists and three steals over 18 minutes during Wednesday's 127-105 loss to the Lakers.

Impact Williams led the team in steals Wednesday and paced the second unit in scoring. It's hard to gauge how the Warriors will divvy up the minutes in more competitive games, but it looks initially that Williams will be a regular member of the rotation off the bench.

Adds 19 points in preseason win Williams closed Saturday's 111-106 preseason win over the Kings with 19 points (7-8 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 3-4 FT), one assist and one steal across 17 minutes.

Impact After starting Wednesday's loss to Portland, Williams shifted to the second unit Saturday. He still torched the nets off the bench and finished as Golden State's second-leading scorer behind Yaxel Lendeborg (23 points). Williams has scored in double figures in all four of the Warriors' preseason outings thus far, and he's making a strong case for additional minutes to open the 2026-27 season.

OCTOBER 11 • ROTOWIRE

Headed to bench Williams will come off the bench in Saturday's preseason game against the Kings.

Impact Stephen Curry is back and starting after skipping Wednesday's exhibition, so Williams will return to a reserve role. However, with Curry set to play just the first half of Saturday's exhibition, Williams should still see quality minutes.

Brandon Williams gives Warriors something they haven't had since Jordan Poole The Golden State Warriors have needed more bench production and Brandon Williams may be the perfect guy for that.

Drops 17 in Wednesday's start Williams played 18 minutes in Wednesday's preseason loss to the Trail Blazers, scoring 17 points (7-11 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-4 FT) while adding four assists, three rebounds and one steal.

Impact Golden State rested most of its key rotation players, leaving Williams as one of the more experienced members of the starting five, and the 26-year-old guard stepped up with an efficient performance. The former Maverick is expected to be a consistent part of the second unit after signing a one-year deal with the Warriors in August.

Starting Wednesday Williams will start in Wednesday's exhibition against the Trail Blazers, Jason Quick of The Athletic reports.

Impact The Warriors are resting nine players for Wednesday's exhibition, so Williams could see major minutes in a starting role. Joining him in the first unit for Wednesday's game will be Will Richard, Malevy Leons, Dalen Terry and Charles Bassey.

Drops 10 points from bench Williams posted 10 points (3-6 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 4-4 FT), two rebounds, an assist and a steal across 18 minutes during Tuesday's 124-98 preseason win over the Lakers.

Impact Williams hopes to catch on with the Lakers after three seasons with the Mavericks, and although his speed and playmaking are unquestioned, he's buried on the depth chart and unlikely to make an impact. One possible advantage is Stephen Curry's advancing age, which could give him extra possessions in back-to-backs, but he's far from fantasy-relevant at this point.
