Warriors Guard Moody's Season Ends With Gruesome Knee Injury
25 Mar
Summary
- Moody tore his left patellar tendon and will miss the season.
- He suffered the injury during overtime while attempting a dunk.
- Moody was averaging career-bests in points, rebounds, and steals.
Golden State Warriors guard Moses Moody will not return for the remainder of the season following a severe injury to his left knee. The team announced Tuesday that Moody suffered a torn patellar tendon, necessitating surgery later this week.
The injury occurred with less than a minute remaining in overtime during the Warriors' 137-131 victory on Monday night. Moody went down in clear distress after buckling his knee while attempting an uncontested dunk.
This unfortunate event follows Moody's return from a 10-game absence due to a sprained right wrist. He had been having a strong season, posting career highs in points (12.1), rebounds (3.3), assists (1.6), and steals (1.0) per game. His performance in his return game included 23 points and three crucial steals.
Coach Steve Kerr described the scene as horrifying, with players from both teams showing concern for Moody. The Warriors are preparing for the Western Conference play-in tournament while also awaiting updates on Stephen Curry's return from his own knee injury.
