De'Anthony Melton hit with Warriors gut punch after harsh preseason truth

As the Golden State Warriors enter the 2025-26 NBA season, their major offseason signings, of veterans Al Horford and De'Anthony Melton, will serve to provide the team with a fresh injection of veteran experience, shoring up two areas of need and giving head coach Steve Kerr more pieces who he can trust wholeheartedly.
