Melton said he would love to return, but will defer to his agent and team leadership, taking time to decompress after the season and discuss options with the front office before making a choice.
Kerr’s status looms large, as the veteran coach’s future remains unresolved. Melton appreciated playing for Kerr and believes the path forward for his own decision will become clearer once Kerr’s situation is settled.
On the court, Melton posted a career-best 12.3 points per game and matched his career high with 1.6 steals, while acknowledging he didn’t shoot the ball as well as he would have liked but stressing his value goes beyond the box score.
The decision around Melton sits alongside other offseason questions for Golden State, including free agency and contract-option decisions, but his expressed desire to stay signals a potential continuity option for the Warriors.
As the dust settles, Melton and the Warriors will await Kerr’s decision and further dialogue with the front office to determine next steps for the 2024-25 season.
