De’Anthony Melton will undergo left ACL surgery and miss the rest of the season after suffering a sprained ACL. Prior to his injury, he was averaging 10.3 points per game and was recognized for his defensive skills, earning a starting role shortly before the injury. His absence will impact the Warriors, particularly in the playoffs, despite the team's depth allowing for some adjustment. The Warriors signed Melton to a one-year contract worth $12.8 million, and while they can apply for a $6.4 million disabled player exception, their hard cap situation may limit its use.
