To be re-evaluated in four weeks

Melton is doing individual work at training camp, but he's set to miss at least the first handful of games to begin the regular season. Until the veteran guard is fully recovered from his ACL surgery, Brandin Podziemski and Buddy Hield should see more minutes in the backcourt. It's possible that Melton's absence will extend into November.

To miss start of season

Melton is in the late stages of his ACL rehab. He had surgery back in early December, which was about 10 months ago. While the Warriors like where he's at in his recovery, Slater notes that the team will take a "careful approach." A more precise timetable will likely be announced at the conclusion of training camp.

Signs with Golden State

Curry will join his fifth team in as many years and is expected to provide wing depth for the Warriors in the 2025-26 season. While the Exhibit 9 deal is only for training camp, Golden State is expected to waive and re-sign the veteran sharpshooter once it has enough apron flexibility. The 35-year-old swingman appeared in 68 regular-season games (14 starts) with the Hornets last season, averaging 6.5 points and 1.7 rebounds across 15.6 minutes per contest. He led the league in efficiency from beyond the arc in 2024-25, shooting 45.6 percent from three-point range.
