Anthony Slater of The Athletic reported more details.

Via Slater: "Melton is on a one-year, $12.8 million contract. Warriors used the full mid-level on him. He looked sharp in six games and Kerr had named him starting shooting guard. Now he’s done for season and enters free agency again with health question mark."
