Melton (knee) isn't listed on the injury report for Wednesday's game against the Jazz.
Melton sat out Monday's loss to Minnesota -- the second leg of a back-to-back set -- due to left knee injury management. However, he's set to return to action Wednesday. The 27-year-old guard has played at least 20 minutes in five straight appearances, averaging 13.8 points, 3.4 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 1.2 steals across 21.6 minutes per tilt over that stretch.

Warriors' De'Anthony Melton: Iffy for Sunday
Rotowire
Melton (knee) is questionable for Sunday's game in Minnesota due to left knee injury management, Anthony Slater of ESPN.com reports.
With Saturday's matchup with the Timberwolves getting postponed until Sunday, the Warriors are now scheduled to play a back-to-back set against Minnesota. Melton has yet to play both ends of back-to-back sets since making his season debut in early December after completing his recovery from ACL surgery, so he'll presumably sit Monday if he ends up playing Sunday. Official word on Melton's status for Sunday should arrive closer to the 5:30 p.m. ET tipoff.

Warriors' De'Anthony Melton: Chips in 22 points off bench
Rotowire
Melton posted 22 points (9-15 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 3-6 FT), three rebounds, two assists, two steals and one block over 23 minutes during the Warriors' 123-115 loss to the Mavericks on Thursday.
Melton and Stephen Curry (38 points) provided most of the scoring punch for the Warriors on Thursday. Melton also led Golden State with a plus-22 point differential while posting his fourth 20-plus-point performance in his last eight outings. Jimmy Butler (knee) is out for the season, and with Jonathan Kuminga (knee) leaving during Thursday's contest, Melton is in line to serve in an expanded role off the bench for the foreseeable future.

Melton (knee) is off the injury report for Tuesday's game against the Raptors.
The Warriors are clearing Melton for the second half of their back-to-back set after he rested Monday. The guard is trending up in January, averaging 15.1 points, 3.4 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.0 steals in 22.4 minutes per contest over his last eight games and could handle increased usage with Jimmy Butler (knee) done for the season.

Warriors' De'Anthony Melton: Won't suit up Monday
Rotowire
Melton has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Heat due to left knee injury management.
Melton will be held out of the front end of Golden State's back-to-back set, and his next opportunity to play will come Tuesday against the Raptors. With the 27-year-old guard sidelined, Will Richard, Gary Payton and Buddy Hield are candidates for an uptick in playing time.

Warriors' De'Anthony Melton: Sitting out Friday
Rotowire
Melton is out for Friday's game against the Thunder due to left knee injury management.
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.

Warriors' De'Anthony Melton: Cleared to play Sunday
Rotowire
Melton (knee) isn't listed on the Warriors' injury report ahead of Sunday's game against the Bulls.
After sitting out Saturday's win over Cleveland, Melton will suit up Sunday.

Warriors' De'Anthony Melton: Won't play Saturday
Rotowire
Melton (knee) has been ruled out for Saturday's game in Cleveland.
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. The guard should be considered probable for Sunday's game in Chicago until the Warriors provide another update on his status.
Melton (left knee injury management) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against Cleveland.
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.

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