Despite getting cleared, De'Anthony Melton did not play for the Philadelphia 76ers in Game 3 against the Knicks.
When Melton last suited up for the Sixers , he appeared on the court for a five-minute shift. The veteran guard was coming off of a 15-minute showing in his first game back in weeks.
While keeping Melton glued to the bench was not in the Sixers’ plans ahead of Game 3, the flow of the matchup led Nick Nurse to make that decision. “He was awesome,” Nurse said of Payne. “He certainly did a good job. Obviously, we were searching just a little bit there for some kind of spark off the bench.”“Certainly had that in our thoughts to maybe go with Cam first, then still had Melt in the back of our minds there too,” Nurse added. “Cam got going so he kind of soaked up those minutes.”
