On Monday night, the Golden State Warriors played the Dallas Mavericks in Texas.

The Warriors won (in overtime) by a score of 137-131.

However, the more significant concern was the fact that Moses Moody left the game with an injury.

NBA World Reacts To Heartbreaking Moses Moody News

Following the injury, many people on social media reacted to the news:

Nick Friedell: “Warriors say Moody will fly back to the Bay with the team and will get an MRI on Tuesday.”

Bleacher Report: “Draymond hugged Moses Moody as he was stretchered off the court after his injury 🫂😕

Wishing him a speedy recovery 🙏”

Marcus Thompson II: “Moses Moody deserves better”

Brett Siegel: “Moses Moody is just now being taken off the court in Dallas on a stretcher. Tears from both teams and silence engulfed the arena while he received medical attention.

This is a devastating, horrific looking left knee/leg injury for Moody.

Prayers for the Warriors’ wing.”

Dalton Johnson: “The Moses Moody I know is the one who gives back so much to Little Rock, the one who went to Africa last summer for Basketball Without Borders, the one who uses poetry for purpose

Not a bad word to say about Moses. None.”

Anthony Slater: “Terrible sight for the Warriors in Dallas. Fifth-year wing Moses Moody just went down with a non-contact left knee injury while planting for an overtime breakaway dunk. Will need to be helped off the floor.”

@DrNiravPandya: “Re: Moses Moody for #DubNation. Obviously the usual battery of tests will be done by the team (i.e. x-ray and MRI’s) but when you see the patella (kneecap) not in the right position you have to worry about a patellar tendon rupture, patellar dislocation, or a larger knee dislocation (multiple ligaments).”

Moody’s NBA Career

Moody was the 14th pick in the 2021 NBA Draft out of Arkansas.

He has spent all five seasons of his pro career with Golden State (and won the 2022 title).

Right now, Moody is averaging 11.9 points, 3.3 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.0 steals per contest while shooting 44.0% from the field and 40.1% from three-point range in 60 games.

The Warriors are currently the 10th seed in the Western Conference with a 34-38 record in 72 games.

They will host the Brooklyn Nets on Wednesday night.
