What parser are you using?

Default (Espree)

What did you do?

import js from "@eslint/js";
import globals from "globals";
import { defineConfig } from "eslint/config";

export default defineConfig([
  { files: ["**/*.{js,mjs,cjs}"], plugins: { js }, extends: ["js/recommended"], languageOptions: { globals: globals.browser } },
]);

function* generator() {
  let done = false;
  try {
    yield 1;
    done = true;
  } catch {
    done = true;
  } finally {
    if (!done) {
      console.log('done is false')
    }
  }
}

const iterator = generator()[Symbol.iterator]();
iterator.next();
iterator.return();

What did you expect to happen?

No error, since the yield can jump to finally directly

What actually happened?

> pnpm eslint

C:\dev\sandbox\eslint-repro\no-useless-assignment.js
  2:7  error  This assigned value is not used in subsequent statements  no-useless-assignment

✖ 1 problem (1 error, 0 warnings)

Running the script prints

> node .\no-useless-assignment.js
done is false

Showing the initial value is being used.
