De'Anthony Melton Returns With 27-Point Performance in Win

After missing Sunday's game for knee injury management, Melton returned to score a career-high 27 points on 12-of-17 shooting in Monday's 125-117 win over the Wizards. He added five rebounds, four assists, and two steals in 30 minutes. Melton has eclipsed 20 points in three of his last four games, providing a vital spark as the Warriors snapped a five-game losing streak. He remains a key contributor as the team looks toward the eventual return of Stephen Curry.
