Back problems held De’Anthony Melton to only 38 games last season. Now the Golden State Warriors guard’s balky back will cause his first absence of the year with his new team.
Another injury issue for the Warriors: De’Anthony Melton is also out against the Pelicans tomorrow. Right facet inflammation, team is calling it. Warriors being careful with Melton, who missed a large chunk of last season with a back issue.

Melton will join Steph Curry on the sidelines for Tuesday’s game against the New Orleans Pelicans at the Chase Center, a matchup they’ll repeat Wednesday night.
