Golden State Warriors Fans Are Concerned With Latest Injury Update
De'Anthony Melton was one of the biggest offseason acquisitions for the Golden State Warriors.
He had been averaging 10.3 points, 3.3 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 1.2 steals per contest while shooting 40.7% from the field and 37.1% from the three-point range in his first six games.
However, Melton has missed each of the previous two games with an injury.
Steve Kerr recently spoke to 95.7 The Game about the former USC guard.
Kerr: "He's been seeking other opinions. We've really been evaluating everything just trying to get him the best advice he can get. We're obviously very concerned."
Melton has also been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Atlanta Hawks.
Many fans on social media were concerned with the update.
