Warriors Starter Ruled Out Hours Before Wizards Game

De'Anthony Melton was ruled out with a knee injury about 3.5 hours before Friday's game between the Washington Wizards and Golden State Warriors at Chase Center.

Melton missed three games between March 7 and March 15 before playing in sixth straight.

He played his first back-to-back of the season on March 20 and March 21. Up until then, the Warriors were holding him out of one leg of every back-to-back in attempt to not overtax his body after he returned from an ACL injury on Dec. 4.

Melton joins seven other Warriors listed as out. They are Stephen Curry (knee), Jimmy Bulter (knee), Moses Moody (knee), Al Horford (calf), Seth Curry (adductor), Quinten Post (foot) and Nate Williams (on G League assignment).
