He limped a little and played through something, but he gutted it out and finished the game.<\/p>\n<p>That something turned out to be a sprained left ACL, the team announced.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Warriors guard De\u2019Anthony Melton has a sprained left ACL and will undergo further tests. He will not play in tomorrow night\u2019s game against the Grizzlies and an update on his status will be provided when available.<\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Warriors PR (@WarriorsPR) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/WarriorsPR\/status\/1857168859473805803?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">November 14, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>There is no timeline for his return and how long he is out will depend on the severity of the sprain, but this is at least weeks Melton will be out. It\u2019s not clear exactly when Melton injured the knee.<\/p>\n<p>This is a blow to the Warriors \u2018depth, Melton had just moved into the starting lineup for two games (including against Dallas) and thrived in that role averaging 16.5 points, 7 rebounds a game (up from his season-long numbers of 10.3 points and 3.3 rebounds a night). Melton had already missed five games this season due to a lower back strain. The Warriors, using their depth, won all five of those games, but in the biggest stages they will need Melton\u2019s two-way play.<\/p>\n<p>With Melton out, expect Moses Moody, Gary Payton II and Brandin Podziemski to get a little extra run.<\/p>\n<p>Melton joined the Warriors on a one-year, $12.8 million contract (the full non-taxpayer mid-level exception). He is an unrestricted free agent next summer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Melton has been an important part of the Warriors depth, averaging 10.3 points a game.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":7454,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-7453","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nba"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.7 -
