Warriors can't catch a break
With about a minute to go in overtime against the Mavericks on Monday, Moses Moody went up for an uncontested dunk and suffered what looked like a serious knee injury."Steph Curry and several Warriors are sitting outside the exam room that Moody is being checked out in right now," The Athletic's Steve Kerr said in his postgame presser that Moody is getting X-rays in the arena.
Kerr added that the injury looked bad. The 23-year-old wing was having a solid game with 23 points, three steals and two blocks. Entering Monday, he had missed 10 straight games with a wrist injury.Moody Has Been One of Warriors' Best Players Moody is having the best season of his career, entering Monday averaging a career-high 11.9 points per game and shooting a career-high 40.2 percent from three. Moody also entered the Mavericks game third on the team in net rating among players with over 200 minutes, per He's been the Warriors' best wing defender all year, as he showed moments before suffering the injury, picking Cooper Flagg's pocket.Not to get too ahead of ourselves, but this injury kills any chance the Warriors have to compete this season in the play-in tournament and beyond. If Jimmy Butler were healthy, perhaps you could get by without Moody. But with both injured, the Warriors simply don't have enough offense or defense from their wings. How this impacts the Warriors' decision to bring Stephen Curry back from his knee injury is not clear. But even if Curry returns, he can't overcome the injuries to Butler and Moody.Joey was a writer and editor at Bleacher Report for 13 years.
