Sitting out Friday Melton is out for Friday's game against the Thunder due to left knee injury management.

Impact Coming off ACL surgery last year, Melton isn't yet cleared to play both ends of back-to-back sets. The expectation is that he'll be available Saturday against Utah. The likes of Pat Spencer, Gary Payton and Buddy Hield should help fill out the backcourt minutes for the short-handed Warriors on Friday.

JANUARY 2 • ROTOWIRE

Iffy for Friday Melton (knee) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Thunder.

Impact Melton may miss the front end of this back-to-back set due to left knee injury management, which would leave more minutes available for the likes of Will Richard, Gary Payton and Buddy Hield. Over his last five appearances, Melton has averaged 7.8 points, 3.2 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1.6 steals across 20.6 minutes per game.

Available for Monday Melton (knee) is good to go for Monday's game versus Brookyln.

Impact This is an expected update for Melton after he missed the front end of this back-to-back set Sunday against Toronto. Across eight appearances, Melton is averaging 7.5 points, 2.1 assists, 1.3 rebounds and 1.6 steals in 18.5 minutes per contest.

Impact Melton will be held out of the front end of the Warriors' back-to-back set due to left knee injury management, and his next chance to play will come Monday against Brooklyn. With the 27-year-old guard sidelined, Gary Payton could see a bump in minutes, while Pat Spencer and Buddy Hield are candidates to enter the Warriors rotation.

Tallies 16 points off bench Melton chipped in 16 points (5-14 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 4-5 FT), three rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal in 24 minutes during Thursday's 126-116 victory over the Mavericks.

Impact Melton delivered a season-high scoring night in a Christmas Day win after struggling to make much of an impact recently, entering the game averaging 3.4 points, 2.0 assists, 1.6 steals and 1.0 rebounds on 14.3 percent shooting in 17.2 minutes over his previous five contests. He'll look to build on the performance as the Warriors head into a busy stretch with back-to-back games Sunday against the Raptors and Monday against the Nets.

Snatches two steals in win Melton closed Sunday's 123-91 win over the Bulls with 13 points (4-9 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 2-4 FT), one rebound, one assist and two steals over 17 minutes.

Impact Melton looked great in his second game of the season, bringing tough energy on defense and he wasn't shy about getting up his shot. Melton spent time operating as the Warriors' primary playmaker in the second unit, so it looks like he'll have a sizable role with the Warriors. He's on the radar in deep leagues.

Cleared to play Sunday Melton (knee) isn't listed on the Warriors' injury report ahead of Sunday's game against the Bulls.

Impact After sitting out Saturday's win over Cleveland, Melton will suit up Sunday. During his season debut in Philadelphia on Thursday, Melton posted 14 points, three assists, two steals and a block in 21 minutes off the bench. With Stephen Curry (quadriceps) sidelined, Melton has a clear path to consistent minutes in Golden State's rotation when available.

DECEMBER 7, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Won't play Saturday Melton (knee) has been ruled out for Saturday's game in Cleveland.

Impact Melton returned from a year-long absence following knee surgery Thursday, but with Saturday's game coming as the first in a back-to-back set, the Warriors' medical staff will hold him out for rest. Melton should be considered probable for Sunday's game in Chicago.

DECEMBER 6, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable Saturday Melton (left knee injury management) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against Cleveland.

Impact Melton made his season debut Thursday and played 21 minutes. The Warriors are beginning a back-to-back set Saturday night, and it would be surprising to see Melton available for both contests. If he can't play Saturday, Will Rihard and Gary Payton would likely see an uptick in minutes.

DECEMBER 3, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Could make season debut next week Melton (knee) is expected to miss at least two more games, Danny Emerman of SFStandard.com reports.

Impact Head coach Steve Kerr thinks that Melton could be ready to make his season debut during the team's upcoming three-game road trip, which begins Thursday in Philadelphia. That likely means the veteran guard won't be available for either of Golden State's next two home contests Saturday against the Pelicans and Tuesday against the Thunder. In the meantime, Will Richard should continue to play enough minutes to warrant streaming consideration.

Impact Melton continues to recover from surgery to repair a sprained ACL in his left knee that he underwent last December. He has been cleared to scrimmage with the G League affiliate, which indicates that he is inching closer toward making his 2025-26 debut.

Impact Melton is making good progress in his recovery from left knee surgery, as he's recently been able to get through scrimmages with Golden State's G League affiliate in Santa Cruz.

Impact Melton will miss the first portion of the regular season while rehabbing from an ACL sprain that he underwent surgery for in December.
