Warriors release G Marcus Williams (AP) (sports.yahoo.com)

The Golden State Warriors released seldom-used guard Marcus Williams on Tuesday. Williams played in nine games with the Warriors, averaging 1.3 points and 1.4 assists after Golden State acquired him in a summer trade with New Jersey. The club hoped he would win their starting point guard job, but the former first-round pick never gained the favor of coach Don Nelson.
