De'Anthony Melton will miss the upcoming game against the Warriors due to a left MCL sprain sustained during a recent matchup. His status remains uncertain as the team awaits further testing to evaluate the injury's severity. In his first season with the Warriors, Melton has been averaging 10.3 points, 3.3 rebounds, and 2.8 assists per game. He recently stepped into a starting role, performing notably well with averages of 16.5 points and strong shooting percentages in the last two games. Dr. Geoffrey Abrams highlighted the importance of the ACL in basketball, noting that the recovery timeline will depend on the injury's severity, with minor sprains potentially healing in a few weeks, while more serious injuries could lead to longer recovery times or even surgery.
