What happened

Warriors guard Brandon Williams left Monday’s blowout over New Orleans after a left hamstring injury, and he is scheduled for an MRI Tuesday.

With Williams out, two-way guard LJ Cryer logged extra minutes, while Golden State also had Gary Payton II sidelined by knee inflammation.

LINEUP CONTEXT

If Williams misses time, Golden State may need more backcourt minutes from Cryer and other guards before Wednesday’s trip to Houston.
