12:35 am: Moody will undergo an MRI on Tuesday, according to the Warriors (Twitter link via Friedell).
11:48 pm: Warriors wing Moses Moody appeared to suffer a major left leg injury with 1:12 remaining in overtime during Monday’s win in Dallas (Twitter video link via NBC Sports Bay Area).
After stealing the ball from Cooper Flagg, Moody dribbled down the court and planted for a breakaway dunk. He never made it all the way up for the dunk, as his left leg appeared to buckle. Moody immediately grabbed at his left leg and eventually had to be helped off the court on a stretcher, tweets Brett Siegel of ClutchPoints.
Moody underwent X-rays after the game ended, according to Nick Fridell of The Athletic (Twitter link). The 23-year-old is now wearing a sizeable brace on his knee, Friedell adds (via Twitter).
“We don’t know what it is, but it sure looked bad,” said head coach Steve Kerr.
Moody had an impressive outing leading up to the non-contact injury, recording 23 points, three rebounds, three assists, three steals and two blocks in 34 minutes. It was the fifth-year wing’s first game back after he missed 10 consecutive contests due to a right wrist sprain.
The 14th overall pick in the 2021 draft, Moody had emerged as a rotation mainstay for Golden State in 2025/26. In 59 appearances leading into Monday, including 48 starts, he had averaged 11.9 points and 3.3 rebounds in 25.5 minutes per contest while shooting a career-high 40.2% from three-point range.
Any type of significant injury to Moody would be devastating to the Warriors’ postseason chances. They’re essentially locked into the play-in tournament and are trying to move back up to the No. 8 seed so they have two chances to advance to the playoffs.
The Warriors have been playing without their two best players for the past two months. Jimmy Butler suffered a torn right ACL on January 19, while Stephen Curry has been out since January 30 due to patellofemoral pain syndrome in his right knee. Curry’s ailment is more commonly known as runner’s knee.
Should have traded him and Kuminga for Giannis when they had the chance.
you’re an idiot
Crazy that it happened shortly after all the sweat moppers were spending an unusually long time cleaning up the same area where the injury happened. Didn’t look like he slipped at all though. Good thing is you’re really young, Moses. You’ll heal fast – no matter the prognosis – and will be back and better than before.
At this point I could see Steph decide he cares more about a championship than loyalty he looks so sad recently
