It’s no surprise that Melton will be on a minutes restriction Thursday, given that it’s his first game in more than a year. The Warriors are expected to ease him back into the rotation.

De'Anthony Melton will make his season debut on Thursday against the 76ers.

Melton will appear in a game for the first time in over a full year. He will likely be eased back into action in the Warriors rotation.

De’Anthony Melton could make his season debut during the Golden State Warriors’ upcoming road trip, which begins on December 4.

Melton is nearing a return after undergoing ACL surgery more than a year ago. While he’ll remain out for the Warriors’ next two games, he could make his season debut during the team’s upcoming road trip, which begins on December 4. Once he’s back, Will Richard and Gary Payton II are candidates to see reduced minutes.

The Warriors announced Wednesday that De'Anthony Melton (knee) will remain out for at least three more weeks.

Melton is still working his way back from the ACL tear he suffered last year. With his season debut still delayed, Will Richard should continue to maintain a role in the Warriors' rotation.

De'Anthony Melton is in the late stages of his ACL rehab and is expected to miss the early portion of the regular season.

Melton was limited to just six games last season due to an ACL tear, and he underwent surgery in early December. The Golden State Warriors are pleased with his recovery progress but want to take a careful approach and ensure he is 100 percent healthy before he returns to the court.
