Two-Way Call-Up Nate Williams Shines as Warriors Fall to Clippers

The two-way guard’s emergence underscores Golden State’s reliance on G League reinforcements during an injury crunch.

Overview

  • Nate Williams scored 18 points on 5-of-8 shooting with three made threes in a 114-101 loss to the Clippers.
  • He logged key defensive minutes on Kawhi Leonard and said he ‘doesn’t fear no challenge’ after the game.
  • Steve Kerr praised Williams’ energy and shot-making, calling him a very impressive player.
  • Kerr said Kristaps Porziņģis’ illness remains ‘a little mysterious,’ and Steph Curry is at least a week from returning.
  • Moses Moody jammed his right wrist and injured his shoulder during the game, as Williams continues on a two-way deal signed about two weeks ago following a heavy G League-to-NBA workload.
