| Agrees to deal with Golden State The Scoop:The Warriors quickly pivoted to Melton after Klay Thompson agreed to a three-year contract with the Mavericks, although that deal hasn't been finalized yet. Melton struggled with a lingering back issue last season, but when healthy, he's an elite defender and a capable three-point shooter. In 38 games with the 76ers last season, Melton averaged 11.1 points, 3.7 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 1.6 steals and 2.0 three-pointers. Jul 1 3:09 ET - | ||||||||
| Gets light role in return Melton (back) tallied zero points (0-2 FG, 0-2 3Pt), one rebound and one assist in seven minutes Sunday in the 76ers' 97-92 loss to the Knicks in Game 4 of the first-round playoff series. The Scoop: After missing the first two games of the playoffs due to back injury recovery and then not leaving the bench in Game 3 in a coach's decision, Melton made his series debut Sunday. Melton didn't make much of an impact during his limited time on the floor, and he's uncertain to be included in the rotation in Game 5 on Tuesday, when the 76ers will look to stave off elimination.

| Available to play Thursday Melton (back) is available for Thursday's game against the Knicks, Noah Levick of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports. The Scoop: Melton was tabbed a game-time decision for this contest, but he'll be available to see minutes off the bench. He didn't see action in either of the first two games of the series and has played just two games since the beginning of March, so he's not expected to have a heavy workload. Apr 25 10:23 ET |
| Considered game-time decision Melton (back) is considered a game-time decision for Thursday's Game 3 against the Knicks, Steve Popper of Newsday reports. The Scoop: Melton practiced Wednesday and is questionable for Thursday's matchup, but the 76ers will wait to see how he fares during pregame warmups before determining his availability. Even with the 76ers down 0-2 in the first-round series, it wouldn't be surprising to see Melton's playing time monitored if he's cleared to suit up Thursday. Apr 25 9:52 ET |
| Questionable for Thursday Melton (back) is questionable for Thursday's Game 3 matchup with New York. The Scoop: Melton has not yet made an appearance this postseason, but he was able to practice Wednesday, so he does appear to be close. However, he'll likely have his minutes closely monitored once he is eventually cleared to return. Apr 24 8:36 ET |
