Warriors’ De’Anthony Melton to undergo season-ending left knee surgery
New York TimesThe Golden State Warriors’ early-season momentum was dealt a significant blow Wednesday as the team announced guard De’Anthony Melton will need surgery for a partially torn left ACL and will miss the remainder of the 2024-25 season. The 26-year-old Melton, who recently played himself into the starting shooting guard spot next to Steph Curry, signed with the Warriors on a one-year, $12.8 million deal this summer, a contract that was considered team-friendly. Melton joined Golden State believing he could improve his value with a strong season and re-enter a friendlier free-agent market next summer. Kerr said second-year guard Brandin Podziemski could eventually elevate into that starting shooting guard spot, but he prefers to keep the bench rotation stable.
