Moses Moody will miss the final three games of the Warriors‘ preseason due to a left calf injury, reports ESPN’s Anthony Slater (via Twitter).
According to head Steve Kerr, the Warriors are “not too concerned” about the injury, which occurred in practice. Slater adds that the team is hopeful that Moody can return in time for the season opener.
Moody started both of the Warriors’ preseason games to this point, averaging 14.5 points and 1.0 steal per contest while hitting seven of his 12 three-point attempts.
After years of being in and out of the Warriors’ rotation, Moody seems to have finally carved out a role for himself as a floor spacer and versatile wing defender in Kerr’s main rotation. If he were to miss time to open the season, it could open the door for Brandin Podziemski and Buddy Hield to earn extra minutes.
Right when he looked primed for a true breakout season…I will say this, as much as I love his game, profile and overall potential, Moses Moody sure is injury prone.
I do comp him to Kawhi pretty often, I see “something in the realm of Kawhi” as Moody’s highest ceiling, like, his best season could be on that level. If he can stop being injured. Much like Kawhi.
Every time he starts looking like he is ready to take it to the next level he gets hurt.
Just a strained calf. I think he’ll be fine. The life of a professional athlete involves setbacks from time to time.

Yeah if next level is Rotation player.
Seriously. You spent months trashing everyone who had one criticism of Kuminga. Now you feel it is ok for you to trash anyone. What a hypocrite. He played 3 months with a torn ligament in his shooting hand. It was painful for him to shoot. Gawd. How pathetic.
I never spent time trashing anyone.. only you and Warriors fans did the trashing of Kuminga.
Get it right !!!!
I said you are all crybabies for trashing him.
And now You are defending Moody cause I said he was a rotation player. Sounds like more crying to me. What is he like the next Poole !!!!!
For months, you went on and on about how the Warriors had to dump their offense, that had sent them to six finals, and four rings, and install Kuminga as their #1 offensive threat. You kept crying about how Kuminga is the Second Coming. You kept lashing out at people who said he needs to look learn to work with in the offense.
Moody learned work within the offense and started have some success before he got injured. He gritted it out for the team. Why can’t you give him some credit for that?
Moody is definitely not like Poole.
The gym class hero had a couple lucky preseason games and got everyone all hyped up. Needed to fabricate a new excuse for when he falls off the next game he plays.
He faked it just like Keegan Murray.
Moses Moody still sucks. He always has. He’s in over his head. But his shooting could be useful in the starting lineup with this bunch. In fact, they’ll need him for that.
He’s still going to get shipped out of town in February along with JK for whatever they can get as a rotational guy. The writing is on the wall and I’m never wrong (lol just kidding.)
Same as this Victor Oladipo talk this week, lol. I think somebody here trashed me for saying “he’s done” earlier in the summer.
Is it necessary for me to say it again? Victor Oladipo is done.
Mac McClung does not belong in the NBA.
There’s no way Jonathan Kuminga takes the qualifying offer.
Al Horford is absolutely signing with the Warriors.
Moses Moody sucks.
What else do you want to know?
Start Heild. Have Moody be the sixth man type

The article and his own coach. Consider a rotation piece, player a step UP. Yet some of us can’t handle that. Doesn’t seem like a serious injury. Nobody is game shape yet. Always better to be cautious with injuries at this time.
Kuminga and Podz have looked good against Lakers
