Warriors' Moses Moody: Out for season after tearing knee
Rotowire
Moody was diagnosed Tuesday with a torn patellar tendon in his left knee following an MRI, Shams Charania of ESPN reports. He's expected to undergo season-ending surgery in the near future.
The Warriors aren't likely to provide a timeline for Moody to return to the court until surgery is performed, but Joey Akeley of SI.com relays that surgery to address patellar tendon tears typically entail a 9-to-12-month recovery. With that in mind, Moody looks to be in danger of not only missing the remainder of the current season, but also a large chunk of the 2026-27 campaign. The knee injury brings an early end to what had been shaping up to be a career-best season for the fifth-year swingman, who averaged a career-high 12.1 points to go with 3.3 rebounds, 2.5 triples, 1.6 assists and 1.0 steals in 25.7 minutes per game. With Moody out of commission, the Warriors are likely to lean more heavily on De'Anthony Melton, Gary Payton and Will Richard on the wing for the remainder of the campaign.

Warriors' Moses Moody: Suffers left knee injury
Rotowire
Moody was stretchered off the court during the overtime period of Monday's 137-131 win over the Mavericks after suffering a left knee injury, Nick Friedell of The Athletic reports. He finished with 23 points (8-20 FG, 4-11 3Pt, 3-4 FT), three rebounds, three assists, three steals and two blocks in 34 minutes.
After stealing the ball from the Mavericks' Cooper Flagg, Moody dribbled the ball down the court and went up for a dunk attempt before his left knee appeared to buckle on him with 1:13 remaining in the game. After going down on the non-contact play, Moody remained on the court for several seconds while play continued before he was wheeled to the locker room at the next whistle. The Warriors should have more details on the extent of Moody's injury Tuesday after he undergoes further evaluation, but the fifth-year wing would appear to be at risk of an extended absence. The knee injury is a tough break for Moody, who had returned to the lineup Monday after missing the previous 10 games due to a right wrist sprain.

Warriors' Moses Moody: Cleared to play Monday
Rotowire
Moody (wrist) is available for Monday's game against the Mavericks.
Moody will shed his questionable tag and return from a 10-game absence due to a right wrist sprain. It wouldn't be surprising to see him operate under a minutes restriction, though his return will still leave fewer minutes available for the likes of Will Richard and Gary Payton.

Warriors' Moses Moody: Expected to play Monday
Rotowire
Moody (wrist), who is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Mavericks, is expected to play, Dalton Johnson of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Moody has missed Golden State's last 10 games due to a right wrist sprain, though he's seemingly trending in the right direction ahead of Monday's tipoff at 9:30 p.m. ET. If the 23-year-old swingman is cleared to suit up, there would be fewer minutes for guys like Will Richard and Gary Payton.

Warriors' Moses Moody: Remains out with sprained wrist
Rotowire
Moody (wrist) won't play in Friday's game against Minnesota, Sam Gordon of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Though Moody will wind up missing a fifth consecutive game Friday, head coach Steve Kerr said after Wednesday's practice that the fifth-year wing is on track to join the Warriors for their upcoming six-game road trip that begins Sunday in New York. Moody's continued absence Friday opens up more playing time for Will Richard, Pat Spencer and Gary Payton on the wing.

Warriors' Moses Moody: Out again Saturday
Rotowire
Moody (wrist) won't play Saturday in Oklahoma City.
This will be Moody's second straight game on the sidelines, and it's not encouraging that he's getting ruled out a full day in advance of tipoff. With Monday's game in Utah being the first of a back-to-back set, there's a chance Moody will need to spend at least one more game on the inactive list. His absence will open up minutes for Gui Santos and Malevy Leons.

Warriors' Moses Moody: Strong effort in loss
Rotowire
Moody logged 24 points (7-13 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 6-8 FT), five rebounds and three assists over 34 minutes during Tuesday's 113-109 loss to the Pelicans.
With Stephen Curry (knee) still on the shelf, Moody continues to take advantage of some extra usage. He has been trending in the right direction for Golden State, posting averages of 18.8 points, 4.8 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 3.5 three-pointers over his last four games.

Warriors' Moses Moody: Hits for 17 points in defeat
Rotowire
Moody registered 17 points (6-12 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds and two assists over 35 minutes during Wednesday's 126-113 loss to San Antonio.
Moody's shot was dialed in during the loss, but the starting lineup failed to produce what was needed down the stretch against the Spurs. Moody's role has been relatively steady since Jimmy Butler's (knee) season-ending injury, and the 6-foot-5 fifth-year pro possesses much-needed versatility that can fill gaps at a few different positions. Although his scoring isn't always prolific, he's registered single digits only once over the past 15 contests.

Warriors' Moses Moody: Flashes big upside

Moody logged 25 points (8-17 FG, 5-14 3Pt, 4-5 FT), four rebounds, two assists, one block and three steals in 39 minutes during Saturday's 105-99 loss to the Lakers.
Moody led the Warriors in a losing effort against the Lakers. With Stephen Curry sidelined by a knee injury, Moody filled the void of outside shooting by hitting five shots from distance. The former lottery pick also had a block and three steals in 39 minutes, and he should continue to see expanded usage as long as Curry is sidelined.

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.
