De'Anthony Melton News, Rumors, Updates - Golden State Warriors

Questionable with knee injury Melton (knee) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Pelicans.

Impact Coming off a 20-point performance in Sunday's win, Melton's status for Tuesday is in question due to a left knee injury. The guard has started each of the past six contests, averaging 14.5 points, 2.5 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 2.2 steals in 24.8 minutes per game during that stretch. Brandin Podziemski and Will Richard are candidates to enter the starting five and see increased minutes if Melton is ruled out.

Pops for 20 points in win Melton produced 20 points (7-18 FG, 2-10 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds, four steals and two assists across 25 minutes during Sunday's 128-117 victory over the Nuggets.

Impact Melton made his presence felt in the Warriors' win, hitting the 20-point mark and recording a game-high four steals. After coming off the bench in his first 24 appearances of the season, the guard has now started six straight games, entering Sunday averaging 13.4 points, 2.4 assists, 2.2 rebounds and 1.8 steals in 24.8 minutes per contest across his first five starts. Melton may not post gaudy numbers, but he carries intrigue and value while holding a starting role in the absence of Stephen Curry (knee).

Paces shorthanded Warriors in loss Melton finished with 18 points (7-13 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-4 FT), three rebounds, one assist and one steal in 25 minutes during Thursday's 121-110 loss to the Celtics.

Impact The 18 points led Golden State on the night, and Melton was one of seven Warriors to reach double digits as the home side went with a balanced attack in the absence of Stephen Curry (knee). Melton has started five straight games with Curry sidelined but hasn't played more than 25 minutes in any of them, averaging 13.4 points, 2.4 assists, 2.2 boards, 2.0 threes and 1,8 steals.

Turns in 17 points during loss Melton provided 17 points (6-7 FG, 5-6 3Pt), three rebounds and seven assists over 25 minutes during Wednesday's 126-113 loss to the Spurs.

Impact Melton has come in handy during Stephen Curry's (knee) absence. Pat Spencer and Brandin Podziemski have lacked the consistency needed to address the gap, which has thrust Melton into a more prominent role. The roster was trimmed after the Buddy Hield/Jonathan Kuminga trade, and it's likely that Melton's role won't be affected much when Curry returns.

Impact Melton is at risk of missing Wednesday's contest due to a bruised glute. The veteran guard has started in each of his last three outings after coming off the bench in all of his first 24 appearances.

Through 13 games in January, Melton averaged 14.7 points, 3.2 boards, 2.2 assists, 1.9 threes and 1.3 steals in 22.5 minutes, but his court time and usage could get a boost to begin February if Stephen Curry (knee) ends up missing any time.

Impact Melton logged his fifth double-digit scoring performance over his past six games, and one of those appearances also garnered a 20-plus point performance.
