Brandon Williams is new to the injury report. He played well off the bench against the Clippers. He had 17 points, three rebounds and three assists and was all smiles in his postgame interview with NBC Sports Bay Area.
As for Gui Santos, he has been dealing with left knee tendinitis throughout the first two weeks of the season. Santos was ruled out of the second half against the Clippers after experiencing discomfort in his left knee.
Coach Steve Kerr first confirmed Santos’ status in his postgame media availability on Sunday. Kerr told reporters that they want the young forward fully healthy before clearing him back to return.
