""I'm feeling amazing, honestly, just being back in the gym around the guys and having the ability to work out and help myself get better," Melton said."
""Also being able to have a secondary ballhandler out there just to help break guys down and kick out, and at the same time, my ability to shoot and defend is something any team can use, Melton said.""

De'Anthony Melton tore his ACL on Nov. 12, 2024, and underwent surgery on Dec. 4. He spent 12 months rehabilitating at home and is nearing a return to NBA action. The team plans to activate him during the upcoming Eastern Conference trip. The immediate priorities are restoring his conditioning and game rhythm after limited playing time over the past year and a half. Melton projects to provide top point-of-attack perimeter defense, secondary ballhandling, off-ball scoring, and playmaking. He is versatile across shooting, playmaking, defense and basketball IQ and is a career 36.9% three-point shooter.
