De'Anthony Melton returns after 1-year recovery from ACL tear, debuts for Warriors vs. 76ers.

Golden State Warriors guard De'Anthony Melton is set to return from a partial ACL tear sustained on November 12, 2024, making his season debut on Thursday against the Philadelphia 76ers—exactly one year after undergoing surgery on December 4, 2024. The 27-year-old, who was traded to the Brooklyn Nets before re-signing with the Warriors in October, had averaged 10.3 points, 3.3 rebounds, and 2.8 assists in six games last season. His return comes as the Warriors face a depleted roster, with Stephen Curry out due to a quadriceps issue and five other players listed as questionable.
