Warriors' Moses Moody: Dominates for career-high 32 points
Rotowire
Moody amassed 32 points (10-16 FG, 8-12 3Pt, 4-5 FT), four rebounds, one block and three steals in 33 minutes during Sunday's 124-106 win over the Pelicans.
The 32 points are a career high for Moody, who led all scorers Sunday en route to also sinking a career-best eight threes. The swingman has started three consecutive games and five of his last seven, settling into a significant role after an up-and-down start to the year. Over his last eight contests, Moody has averaged 16.5 points, 3.0 rebounds, 1.6 assists, 1.1 steals and 0.9 blocks in 28.0 minutes per game.

Warriors' Moses Moody: Hits five threes in win Wednesday
Rotowire
Moody finished Wednesday's 125-120 win over the Spurs with 19 points (6-13 FG, 5-10 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds and three assists across 26 minutes.
Moody was making his third start of the season and made the most of it, as he ended on the verge of reaching the 20-point mark for the fourth time in the campaign. This was also the fourth time he drained at least five three-pointers in a single game. Moody has been a productive player for the Warriors even if he's not starting on a regular basis. He's hit double-digit points in all but one of his last six appearances, averaging 16.0 points, 2.8 boards, 2.0 assists and 1.0 steals per game, and his uptick as a scoring force could make him a valuable streaming option in most formats ahead of a rematch against the Spurs on Friday.

Warriors' Moses Moody: Starting Wednesday
Rotowire
Moody will move into the starting lineup for Wednesday's matchup with the Spurs, Anthony Slater of ESPN.com reports.
Moody will replace the struggling Jonathan Kuminga in the first unit for Wednesday's game, and depending on how he fares, this could be a long-term promotion for Moody. In his previous two starts this season, the 23-year-old forward registered averages of 15.0 points, 3.0 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 3.0 triples, 2.0 blocks and 1.0 steals per contest.

Warriors' Moses Moody: Available to play Friday
Rotowire
Moody (back) will be available to play Friday against the Nuggets, Dalton Johnson of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Moody will power through the back issue, and with Stephen Curry (illness) still unavailable, he should see some more shots falling his way. Jimmy Butler (back) is active, so it's unlikely Moody will be able to repeat his 28-point performance from Wednesday, but he should still see a sizeable role in the offense.

Warriors' Moses Moody: Added to injury report
Rotowire
Moody (back) is questionable for Friday's game against Denver.
It's a downgrade for Moody, who wasn't spotted on the initial injury report for the Warriors. If the swingman is unable to play, the door would open for Buddy Hield to soak up extra minutes off the bench.

Warriors' Moses Moody: Erupts for 28 points
Rotowire
Moody finished Wednesday's 121-116 loss to the Kings with 28 points (9-15 FG, 6-11 3Pt, 4-4 FT), three rebounds, three assists, four blocks and two steals over 39 minutes.
Moody scored at least 24 points for the second straight game, taking advantage of the fact that Golden State was missing a number of key players. After a muted start to the season, Moody has stepped up recently, putting himself on the standard league radar. While we would need to see this when the team is fully healthy, he could be worth a speculative grab.

Warriors' Moses Moody: Surpasses 20 minutes in debut
Rotowire
Moody (calf) logged 21 minutes off the bench and finished with seven points (1-6 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 4-6 FT), two rebounds and one steal in Friday's 139-119 loss to the Trail Blazers.
Cleared to make his season debut after sitting out the Warriors' first two games due to a calf injury, Moody was used off the second unit but didn't seem to be operating with a minutes restriction. Prior to getting hurt, Moody had started in both of his preseason appearances, so he could be in consideration for a move to the top unit once he's fully conditioned coming off the injury. That being said, even a promotion to the starting five wouldn't necessarily lead to a major uptick in playing time for Moody, who is part of a deep rotation of wings that includes Jimmy Butler, Brandin Podziemski, Will Richard, Buddy Hield and Gary Payton. De'Anthony Melton (knee) will also return to the mix down the road, perhaps at some point in November.

Warriors' Moses Moody: Cleared from injury report
Rotowire
Moody (calf) is off the injury report for Friday's game against the Trail Blazers.
The removal from the injury report sets the stage for Moody's season debut Friday. The swingman has been sidelined for nearly two weeks with a calf injury, so the Warriors could keep an eye on his minutes. Moody's return likely spells some bad news for the fantasy prospects of Brandin Podziemski in the backcourt.

Warriors' Moses Moody: Out for rest of preseason
Rotowire
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.

Warriors' Moses Moody: Plays well off bench
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.
