Moses Moody out longterm
Warriors guard Moses Moody suffered a non‑contact knee injury and was diagnosed with a torn patellar tendon — he’ll miss the rest of the season. The grisly injury happened in overtime and has teams and medical staff recalibrating playoff plans and rotations. ( )
An MRI in San Francisco on Tuesday confirmed the severity of Moody’s knee issue and the Warriors scheduled surgery for Thursday. (espn.com) Moody had just returned after missing 10 games with a right‑wrist sprain and was the Warriors’ leading scorer in Monday’s win, posting 23 points and three steals before leaving the game. (espn.com) This season he was posting career‑best marks — about 12.1 points, 3.3 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.0 steals in roughly 25.7 minutes per game. (nba.com) Team and medical staff expect a lengthy rehab for this type of injury, with typical recovery windows often cited in the 9–12 month range, which could extend his absence into next season. (nbcsports.com) Golden State sits 34‑38 and 10th in the Western Conference, and Moody’s loss compounds a short‑handed rotation that has already included Stephen Curry’s extended knee absence and a calf strain for Al Horford. (espn.com) Coach Steve Kerr praised Moody’s play in Dallas as “brilliant,” said players were visibly shaken by the scene, and the organization confirmed Moody will undergo surgery later this week.
