Warriors Announce Key Player Ruled Out

For Wednesday’s game, the Warriors will be without Melton, as he has been ruled out on the injury report.

Underdog NBA wrote: “De’Anthony Melton (thumb) listed out for Wednesday.”

Melton is having a productive year for Golden State.

He is averaging 12.7 points, 3.2 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.6 steals per contest while shooting 41.0% from the field and 28.4% from three-point range in 43 games.

That said, Melton has struggled as of late.

Dalton Johnson of NBC Sports Bay Area wrote (on March 29): “De’Anthony Melton had four 20-point games in March, but also two zero-point games while shooting 39% from the field and 25% from 3 for the month

Great guy, great value on his contract. Looks uncomfortable and unconfident shooting right now”
