The Golden State Warriors suffered another painful blow when running back Moses Moody suffered a non-contact knee injury on Monday against the Dallas Mavericks.
Everyone at American Airlines Center immediately became concerned about overtime when Moody fell to the floor and caught his knee shortly after going up for an uncontested bucket. Eventually he was taken out of the court on a stretcher.
Warriors survive Mavericks, 137-131. Moody finished with 23 points, three rebounds, three assists, three steals and two blocks.
Draymond Green hugged him before Moody taken out of the venueAs shown in a video posted by Bleacher Report.

X fans appreciated Green's heartfelt gesture.
"The mainstream sports media has spent years trying to portray Drummond as the NBA's most toxic villain. If he really is as bad as analysts claim, why is he always the first one to step in and defend his teammates when things go wrong?" @EscrivaU21 asked.
"Moments like this remind you how fragile everything is. Showing up for your teammate in his or her worst moment is what real support looks like," @dcique_12 said.
@BeaTrice6699 said, "Sometimes, a good hug is like an instant health potion, but with feeling."
@Defi_ezra posted, "Tough moment. Draymond Green showing love for Moses Moody says a lot. But yeah, that injury still looked scary."
@Rose8yd commented, "Class act on behalf of Draymond. Wishing Moody a speedy recovery."
It's no secret that the 36-year-old Green has had conflicts with his teammates due to his fiery personality. But many have also said that the former Defensive Player of the Year is a great guy to have on your team.
Moody just returned from a 10-game absence due to a wrist injury. Now, he'll likely have to sit out the rest of the season with Jimmy Butler and Stephen Curry on the sidelines.
The Warriors are in 10th place in the Western Conference with a 34-38 record.
