Golden State Warriors leading scorer Monta Ellis underwent an MRI exam on his injured back that revealed a strain, and he isn't expected to join the team at all during its five-game road trip.

He did not accompany the team to Miami, where the Warriors were set to begin the five-game trip Tuesday night. Ellis already missed a game last Saturday.

Golden State, which is also without center Andris Biedrins for the trip because of a sports hernia, signed forward Reggie Williams to a 10-day contract Tuesday. He was called up from the Development League's Sioux Falls Skyforce.

The Warriors have the third-worst record in the NBA at 17-41.
