Head coach Steve Kerr said Sunday that Moody (calf) will miss the Warriors' final three preseason games, but he's hopeful Moody will be back for the regular-season opener, Anthony Slater of The Athletic reports.
Moody picked up a calf injury after starting each of Golden State's first two preseason contests, and the issue will prevent him from suiting up in the team's final three exhibitions. His status should continue to be monitored ahead of the Warriors' Oct. 21 regular-season opener against the Lakers.

Warriors' Moses Moody: Out with calf issue
Rotowire
Moody will miss Sunday's preseason game against the Lakers with a calf issue, Anthony Slater of The Athletic reports.
Warriors coach Steve Kerr believes the issue is minor, but the team will exercise caution. Additionally, Moody is being sent for an MRI. Moody has started both preseason games for the Warriors so far, but it's unclear if he'll be available for Tuesday's exhibition against Portland.
Moody amassed 19 points (7-9 FG, 5-7 3Pt), one assist and one steal in 15 minutes during Sunday's 111-103 preseason victory over the Lakers.
Moody was given the starting nod as the Warriors began the preseason with a win, leading the team with 19 points. As expected, Steve Kerr went deep into his rotation, with 18 players taking to the court. Moody's exact role this season remains a little uncertain, especially following the re-signing of Jonathan Kuminga. While there is an outside chance Moody could stick in the starting lineup, he is more likely to come off the bench, logging minutes in the low to mid-20s.

Warriors' Moses Moody: Undergoes surgery on thumb
Rotowire
The Warriors announced Thursday that Moody had surgery on a torn UCL in his right thumb Wednesday, Anthony Slater of The Athletic reports.
Slater notes that Moody had a wrap on it at times late in the season. The good news for the Warriors is that the forward is expected to be back in time for the start of training camp. In 74 regular-season appearances in 2024-25, Moody averaged 9.8 points, 2.6 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 0.8 steals and 1.7 three-pointers in 22.3 minutes.

Rotowire
Moody contributed 12 points (3-6 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 4-5 FT), one rebound, two assists and two steals in 12 minutes during Wednesday's 121-110 loss to the Timberwolves in Game 5 of the Western Conference Semifinals.
Although he ended the season on a high note, Moody had a very quiet postseason, as he hit 35.0 percent from the field in 16.1 minutes per game. He did have his most successful regular season, however, as he made 74 appearances and produced 9.8 points, 2.6 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 0.8 steals and 1.7 three-pointers in 22.3 minutes while shooting 37.4 percent from beyond the arc, a career-best mark. Moody will now enter the first year of a three-year, $37.5 million contract extension.

Warriors' Moses Moody: Erupts for 25 points
Rotowire
Moody ended with 25 points (9-18 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 4-4 FT), nine rebounds, two assists, one block and two steals over 26 minutes during Wednesday's 131-116 loss to Houston in Game 5 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.
Moody scored fewer than eight points in three of the first four games of the first-round series against Houston, but the 22-year-old wing popped for 25 points Wednesday and fell one rebound shy of his first double-double of the campaign. Moody's 25 points were his most in a game since April 9, 2023, and marked his third time hitting the 25-point milestone in the NBA. He's averaging 10.8 points, 3.4 rebounds and 1.4 assists across 22.6 minutes per game this series.

Warriors' Moses Moody: Moving to bench role
Rotowire
Moody is not starting in Game 3 against the Rockets on Saturday, John Dickinson of 95.7 The Game San Francisco reports.
The Warriors are shifting their starting lineup for this game due to the absence of Jimmy Butler (pelvis), and Moody will wait for an opportunity off the bench as Golden State will go with a bigger lineup. Jonathan Kuminga, Draymond Green and Quinten Post will be in the frontcourt.

Warriors' Moses Moody: Drops 12 in Game 2 loss
Rotowire
Moody contributed 12 points (4-7 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal across 24 minutes during Wednesday's 109-94 loss to the Rockets in Game 2 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.
After eight straight games of failing to crack double digits in the scoring column, Moody was able to see some shots fall Wednesday, helping make up for the offensive production lost due to Jimmy Butler's pelvic injury. Unfortunately, it wasn't enough to secure the win and take a 2-0 commanding lead heading into Game 3 in San Francisco, as now the series has a chance to go the distance, especially if Butler is unable to play or is limited moving forward.

Game 1 against the Rockets was all about Stephen Curry and Jimmy Butler for the Warriors, with the dynamic duo combining for 56 points to get the win. Unfortunately, Moody didn't make much of an impact during his 28 minutes on the floor as a starter, finishing with only seven points on 2-for-5 shooting.

Warriors' Moses Moody: Game-time decision Tuesday
Rotowire
Moody (back), who is listed as questionable for Tuesday's Play-In Game against the Grizzlies, will go through his pregame warmup before the Warriors make a final decision on his availability, Sam Gordon of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Moody's back tightened during Tuesday's shootaround, and he was a late addition to the injury report. If the 22-year-old is unable to suit up against Memphis, Gary Payton and Jonathan Kuminga are candidates for an uptick in playing time. Moody has averaged 8.6 points, 2.9 rebounds, 1.5 steals and 1.2 assists across 25.1 minutes per game in his last 10 appearances.

Warriors' Moses Moody: Late addition to injury report

Warriors' Moses Moody: Goes for 20 points vs. Spurs
Rotowire
Moody closed Sunday's 148-106 victory over San Antonio with 20 points (7-11 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 3-4 FT), three rebounds, three assists, one block and three steals across 25 minutes.
Moody was one of the top scorers for the Warriors in this blowout win, and he delivered one of his most efficient shooting performances of the season after missing just four of his 11 shots. Moody has scored at least 20 points in two of his last seven appearances, but given he's failed to record double-digit points in the other five in that span, it's hard to trust him for sustained production across most formats at this stage of the campaign.

Warriors' Moses Moody: Fills stat sheet in loss Saturday
Rotowire
Moody accumulated 20 points (7-13 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 3-3 FT), four rebounds, five assists, one block and two steals over 35 minutes during Saturday's 124-115 loss to the Hawks.
Moody did a good job contributing across the board in this win, but perhaps most importantly, he bounced back from three single-digit scoring efforts and reached the 20-point mark for the third time since the All-Star break. Moody is expected to experience an uptick in his usage rate while Stephen Curry (pelvis) remains sidelined, so he might have some short-term upside increase just in time for the fantasy playoffs.

Warriors' Moses Moody: Struggles shooting
Rotowire
Moody tallied four points (0-5 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 4-4 FT), two assists, two steals and one rebound in Thursday's 117-114 win over the Raptors.
Moody struggled from the field, missing all his field-goal attempts and totaling all four points from the free-throw line. The 22-year-old also shot poorly Tuesday against the Bucks but has generally been a steady secondary contributor for the Warriors. Since becoming a full-time starter on February 13, the 2021 first-round pick has averaged 11.9 points and 3.4 rebounds on 45.5 percent shooting in 16 games.

Warriors' Moses Moody: Hits for 22 points in victory
Rotowire
Moody supplied 22 points (8-11 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 1-1 FT), two rebounds, four assists and one block over 29 minutes during Friday's 132-108 win over Sacramento.
Moody and Buddy Hield both registered five three-pointers in a decisive beatdown of the Kings. With Andrew Wiggins shipped off to Miami, the Warriors have tinkered around to find the right role players to place alongside Jimmy Butler, and Moody has been the most successful player to fill the gap.
Moody will start in Thursday's game against Houston, Anthony Slater of The Athletic reports.
Quinten Post will retreat to the bench due to Moody re-entering the starting five against the Rockets. Over his last 10 outings (two starts), the Arkansas product has averaged 12.5 points, 3.1 rebounds, 2.0 three-pointers and 1.5 assists across 25.2 minutes per contest.
