De'Anthony Melton Will Be Re-Evaluated In About A Week
4 months agoThe Philadelphia 76ers have announced that guard De'Anthony Melton (spine) will be re-evaluated in approximately one week after completing an offloading period, and he will now begin ramping up to return to play. Melton will travel with the team on their upcoming six-game road trip, but he is listed as out for Thursday's clash with the Indiana Pacers and is unlikely to return before the end of January based on this timeline. Notching top-75 numbers in nine-category fantasy leagues, the 25-year-old shutdown defender should remain stashed in those formats while nursing a lumbar spine stress response. Swingman Kelly Oubre Jr. has filled in as a starter for the Sixers in Melton's absence, averaging a modest 12.1 points, 4.3 rebounds, 1.6 three-pointers, and 1.3 steals in nine games without Melton overall this season.
