Melton, however, will not feature for the Nets this season as he continues to recover from an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tear in his left knee and has been ruled out for the remainder of the season.
The 26-year-old played six times for the Warriors this season and departs with averages of 10.3 points, 3.3 rebounds, 2.8 assists, and 1.2 steals in 20.2 minutes per game.
