Williams is expected to be out a minimum of one week with a strained left hamstring.

Analysis:

The injury isn't breaking news, but Williams' recovery timetable is a little longer than originally anticipated. Expect rookie D'Angelo Russell, who scored a career-high 39 points in Tuesday's win over the Nets, along with Jordan Clarkson, to see increased minutes in Williams' absence. Marcelo Huertas will also see his playing time increase as the point guard on the Lakers' second unit.
