Warriors' Brandon Williams: 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.
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.

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

Warriors' Brandon Williams: 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.
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.

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

Warriors' Brandon Williams: 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.
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.

Warriors' Brandon Williams: Speed impressing Warriors
Williams has made an early impression on the Warriors with his speed and ability to put pressure on opposing defenses, Dalton Johnson of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Williams recorded 11 points (4-9 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 3-3 FT), three assists, two rebounds and one steal in 16 minutes during Sunday's preseason loss to the Clippers. Coach Steve Kerr has called Williams the fastest player he's coached with Golden State, and his ability to attack in transition and off high pick-and-rolls could give the Warriors a dimension they've lacked in recent seasons.

Warriors' Brandon Williams: Impressing in training camp
Williams has been impressive during training camp, with head coach Steve Kerr praising his speed and ability as a "defensive pest," Anthony Slater of ESPN.com reports.
Kerr called Williams the "fastest guy we've ever had," and he's made a positive impression with the Warriors thus far after signing a one-year deal with the club in late August. The 26-year-old guard was productive for the Mavericks in 2025-26, averaging 13.0 points, 3.9 assists, 2.9 rebounds and 0.9 steals across 22.2 minutes per contest in 66 regular-season outings (15 starts). He'll likely fight to carve out a rotational role and figures to compete for playing time with the likes of De'Anthony Melton, Gary Payton and Will Richard.

Warriors' Brandon Williams: Signs with Warriors
Williams signed a one-year, $2.6 million deal with the Warriors on Tuesday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
Williams is coming off a successful campaign with the Mavericks. Across 66 regular-season appearances, he averaged 13.0 points, 3.9 assists, 2.9 rebounds and 0.5 three-pointers. Minutes won't be easy to come by in Golden State, however, so he's likely going to be an emergency depth option.

Mavericks' Brandon Williams: Ruled out Sunday
Williams (illness) is unavailable for Sunday's game against Chicago.
Williams will now miss a fourth consecutive contest, marking the end of a career-best 2025-26 campaign. Without the 26-year-old, extra minutes will presumably be absorbed by Ryan Nembhard and AJ Johnson. Williams started 15 of his 66 appearances, and overall he averaged 13.0 points, 3.9 assists, 2.9 rebounds and 0.9 steals in 22.2 minutes per game.

As expected due to his doubtful tag, Williams will miss his third consecutive contest while continuing to battle an illness.
