Moody (knee) has been ruled out for Wednesday's NBA Cup Quarterfinals matchup against the Rockets.
Moody played just five minutes during Sunday's 114-106 win over the Timberwolves before exiting with left knee patellar tendinopathy, an injury he had first suffered in Friday's 107-90 loss to Minnesota. With the 22-year-old sidelined, the Warriors could run a more streamlined rotation.

Rotowire
Warriors head coach Steve Kerr said Moody aggravated his left knee injury during Sunday's 114-106 victory over the Timberwolves and wasn't available for the second half, Anthony Slater of The Athletic reports.
Moody -- who had been listed as probable leading up to Sunday's contest with left knee patellar tendinopathy -- played only five minutes before the team decided to shut him down for the night. He finished with two points (1-4 FG, 0-2 3Pt) and one rebound during his time on the court. Moody can be considered questionable for Wednesday's game against the Rockets until the Warriors release their next injury report.

Warriors' Moses Moody: Questionable for Sunday
Rotowire
Moody (knee) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Timberwolves.
Moody left Friday's game against Minnesota due to left knee soreness. The questionable tag leaves the door open for a return, but a final decision on his status will probably be made closer to Sunday's 8:30 p.m. ET tipoff. Moody is averaging 7.7 points per game across 22 appearances (four starts) this season.

Warriors' Moses Moody: Won't return Friday
Rotowire
Moody won't return to Friday's game against the Timberwolves due to left knee soreness, Anthony Slater of The Athletic reports. He finished the game with three points (1-2 FG, 1-2 3Pt) and one rebound across seven minutes off the bench.
The fact that the Warriors are classifying Moody's knee injury as soreness rather than a sprain can be viewed as a good sign, though the fourth-year wing could still be sent in for further testing. His status for Sunday's rematch with the Timberwolves would seem to be up in the air at the moment.

Warriors' Moses Moody: Impresses off bench Tuesday
Rotowire
Moody recorded 13 points (4-10 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 3-3 FT), two rebounds, one assist and one steal over 21 minutes during Tuesday's 119-115 loss to the Nuggets.
Moody has struggled with consistency off the bench this season. He's scored in double digits in just two of his last eight appearances, a span in which he's averaging just 5.6 points per game while shooting 36.4 percent from the floor. Moody has struggled to earn a consistent role in coach Steve Kerr's rotation, and the lack of production conspires against his upside.

Warriors' Moses Moody: Logs 17 points in spot start
Rotowire
Moody amassed 17 points (6-8 FG, 5-6 3Pt), two rebounds, one assist and one block across 17 minutes during Tuesday's 124-106 win over the Pelicans.
Coach Steve Kerr elected to give Moody the start in place of Jonathan Kuminga, who has struggled with his shot over the team's first three games. Moody gave way to Kuminga eventually, but the former managed a strong line despite playing only 17 minutes. Kuminga's shot was more accurate during the victory, but Kerr may implement a platoon at the position in the short term.

Warriors' Moses Moody: Agrees to three-year extension
Rotowire
Moody signed a three-year, $39 million contract extension Sunday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
Moody is coming off a 2023-24 campaign during which he averaged 8.1 points on 46.2 percent shooting and 3.0 rebounds across 17.5 minutes per game over 66 regular-season contests (nine starts). His role during the upcoming season was expected to expand following the departure of Klay Thompson to the Mavericks, but it's unclear how much playing time Moody will see with the additions of De'Anthony Melton and Buddy Hield. Still, a three-year extension indicates the Warriors consider Moody very much a part of their future plans.

Warriors' Moses Moody: Leads all scorers with 21 points
Rotowire
Moody compiled 21 points (7-13 FG, 5-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, two assists and a steal across 19 minutes during Tuesday's 111-97 preseason win over the Lakers.
Moody's role was enhanced thanks to DNP designations for De'Anthony Melton (back) and Brandin Podziemski (nose). The acquisitions of Melton and Buddy Hield have diminished Moody's potential, which was supposed to be elevated after Klay Thompson's departure. While Moody's preseason lines are encouraging, his eventual role in Golden State's rotation is currently in question.

Rotowire
Moody logged 14 points (5-14 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three assists, two rebounds and one steal in 25 minutes of Sunday's 111-93 preseason win over Detroit.
This wasn't Moody's best shooting night, to be fair, but it's clear the Warriors have given him the green light. He's been impressive overall in the preseason, and his chances of securing a rotation spot are trending in the right direction, especially after the departure of Klay Thompson this offseason.

Moody eclipsed 20 minutes on the court for the first time since March 9 against the Spurs. His extended play Wednesday was due to both Jonathan Kuminga (knee) being sidelined and Draymond Green being tossed early in the first quarter with two quick technical fouls.
