De'Anthony Melton 'Not Very Close' to Warriors Return from ACL Injury

AutoDraft Pro AI

Golden State Warriors coach Steve Kerr revealed that veteran guard De'Anthony Melton is 'not very close' to returning from his ACL injury. Melton is participating in scrimmages and working on his conditioning, but due to missing most of last season, he requires significant on-court practice to regain rhythm. While he is expected to play a role later in the season, an exact return date has not been set. Melton averaged 10.3 points, 3.3 rebounds, and 2.8 assists in six games before his injury.
