The Golden State Warriors have made a lightning 4-1 start to the season despite a difficult schedule, and now their hot start has got even better with confirmation that De'Anthony Melton is taking the next step in his injury rehabilitation.
Having not played since November last season when he suffered an ACL injury against the Dallas Mavericks, the Warriors have announced that Melton will be integrated into team practice over the next two weeks and also be assigned to Santa Cruz as he enters the final stages of recovery.
