Golden State Warriors guard De'Anthony Melton will miss the rest of the season after undergoing surgery on his left ACL. Initially sidelined by an ACL sprain, further tests revealed the need for surgery. The Warriors had high hopes for Melton, who signed a one-year, $12.8 million deal, but he only played in six games this season due to injuries.

Coach Steve Kerr expressed disappointment over Melton's injury, noting he was expected to be a starter alongside Stephen Curry. The team plans to start Lindy Waters III in Melton's absence and can file a disabled player exception worth $6.4 million.
