Set for season debut Thursday
Melton (knee) is off the injury report for Thursday's game against the 76ers.
Analysis
The stage is set for Melton to make his season debut following ACL surgery. The veteran guard is likely to have heavy restrictions Thursday. Once Melton is back up to speed, Will Richard's streaming appeal is likely to take a hit.

Could make season debut next week
Melton (knee) is expected to miss at least two more games, Danny Emerman of SFStandard.com reports.
Analysis
Head coach Steve Kerr thinks that Melton could be ready to make his season debut during the team's upcoming three-game road trip, which begins Thursday in Philadelphia. That likely means the veteran guard won't be available for either of Golden State's next two home contests Saturday against the Pelicans and Tuesday against the Thunder. In the meantime, Will Richard should continue to play enough minutes to warrant streaming consideration.
