Warriors Say De’Anthony Melton Advances in Rehab, Set Re-Evaluation in 10 Days
The guard has ramped to Santa Cruz scrimmages plus full‑team practices, with December floated as a possible return window.
Overview
- A team statement said Melton has intensified workouts, participated in Santa Cruz Warriors scrimmages and practices, and is being integrated into Golden State’s sessions.
- He will be re-evaluated in 10 days, and the team has not announced a game-return date.
- ESPN’s Anthony Slater reported that December has been the floating target for his season debut.
- Wednesday’s update indicates a November return is unlikely given the timing of the next evaluation.
- Melton had ACL surgery on December 4, 2024 after six games; before the injury he averaged 10.3 points with two starts next to Stephen Curry, and an NBC Sports Bay Area analyst expects him to reclaim a starting role if cleared.
