Steve Kerr sounds alarm over Warriors’ latest injury: ‘It’s a big concern’

Golden State beat New Orleans 138-87 on Monday to extend its winning streak to eight games, but backup point guard Brandon Williams left with a hamstring injury. Coach Steve Kerr called it “a big concern”, saying Williams has been a major contributor to the team.

Williams is averaging 10.4 points in 16.1 minutes per game after signing a one-year, $2.6 million contract in the off-season. He is due to have an MRI, and the severity and likely absence are not yet known; the Warriors may take care returning him because hamstring injuries can be difficult to recover from and may recur.
