Overview
- Golden State’s official update says Melton has intensified workouts, scrimmaged with Santa Cruz, and will be integrated into full team practices before a re-evaluation in 10 days.
- The guard tore his left ACL last November and had surgery on December 4, 2024, which sidelined him for the remainder of last season.
- With the next check-in set, he is expected to miss at least the next several games, with some outlets estimating four to five.
- ESPN’s Anthony Slater reports December has been the floating target for a season debut, though the team has not set a firm return date.
- After being traded to Brooklyn post-injury, Melton rejoined the Warriors on a minimum deal in October, and analysts suggest he could reclaim a starting role next to Stephen Curry if fully cleared.
