While many of free agency’s top names have already signed deals this summer, several notable players remain on the market. One of them — former Philadelphia 76ers guard De’Anthony Melton — could be headed back to the Golden State Warriors.

The Golden State Warriors are trying to maintain every asset they’ve got so they’re ready if the Giannis Antetokounmpo trade market heats up, according to NBA reporter Tim Kawakami of The San Francisco Standard.

The Golden State Warriors only have nine players under contract heading into the 2025-26 NBA season. There's been no movement from the franchise during the opening three weeks of NBA free agency. Rumors linking the Warriors to Al Horford and a return for De'Anthony Melton are yet to materialize.

Shams Charania reports that Warriors GM Mike Dunleavy Jr. wants to address Jonathan Kuminga before making any other moves in free agency.

The young combo guard, who was inked to a one-year, $12.8 million deal this summer by Golden State, is now sidelined indefinitely. Given that the injury is merely a sprain, and not anything worse, it's unlikely he'll miss major time.

The Golden State Warriors may regret allowing the Los Angeles Lakers to steal one of their standouts from the Summer League.
