Warriors' De'Anthony Melton: Assigned and recalled Friday

Golden State assigned Melton to the Santa Cruz Warriors before recalling him Friday.

Melton will miss the first portion of the regular season while rehabbing from an ACL sprain that he underwent surgery for in December. The Warriors announced Wednesday that he will miss at least three more weeks, and when he's cleared to return to in-game action, he'll likely have a limited role at the NBA level if Golden State is near full strength.
