Moses Moody has become a very valuable role player for the Golden State Warriors.

He is coming off a year where he had averages of 12.1 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.

That said, the former Arkansas star suffered a season-ending injury.

ESPN’s Shams Charania wrote (on March 24): “Golden State Warriors guard Moses Moody has been diagnosed with a torn patellar tendon in his left knee, sources tell ESPN. Moody’s career-best season is over and a lengthy rehab will be required.”

Considering Moody is injured, it’s worth noting that the Warriors owe him more than $25 million over the next two seasons.

He will make $12.5 million during the 2026-27 season.
