Draymond Green backtracks on wet spot blame for Moses Moody’s injury

After Golden State Warriors guard Moses Moody is out with a groin injury in Monday’s game against the Dallas Mavericks, star Draymond Green has spoken out about what caused the frustrating incident. While Moody suffered a patellar tendon injury with the Warriors, Green expressed some thoughts on the injury.

Green was on his self-titled podcast and show, where he said he and the players thought the wet floor caused Moody’s injury, but they had a different view after watching the video. As replays showed, Moody’s foot gave out, causing the unfortunate injury.

“What people were saying is like, man, we kept telling them the floor was wet,” Green said. “We kept telling them the floor was wet because we all thought he slipped. If you see him going full speed, you see him flying. We thought he slipped. When you go back and watch the replays, he doesn’t slip.”

“So we’re all standing there like, man, it’s one thing to see a guy get hurt, but it’s another thing when you see a guy get hurt because of a wet spot on the floor. So we all thought he slipped. Go back and watch the replay; he didn’t slip. He went to go up, and he was out. But that’s what the conversation was about. We kept telling them this floor is wet,” Green continued.

Some good news on Warriors’ Moses Moody

With the Warriors dealing with Moody’s injury, the team has had to deal with a number of issues with the likes of Jimmy Butler and Stephen Curry, but there has been one bright spot for the recent issue. Golden State head coach Steve Kerr would say on 95.7 The Game that “the MRI was clean” for Moody.

“it is [patellar] Tendon. There was no damage to the cartilage or bone, so that’s good news. That makes it a very basic surgery,” Kerr said.

At any rate, it remains to be seen how Moody recovers for next season as the Warriors look to overcome their troubles.

Steve Kerr provides ‘good news’ from MRI of Moses Moody’s knee

Moses Moody suffered a really serious injury last night against the Dallas Mavericks. The Golden State Warriors fell to the ground in pain after trying to go up for a routine dunk attempt late in overtime. MRI tests revealed that Moody had a torn patellar tendon in his left knee, ending his 2025-2026 season and potentially ruling him out parts of next season.

It’s a devastating blow for the Warriors forward, who was looking to get back into form against the Mavericks. That being said, head coach Steve Kerr did offer some good news about Moody. While his patellar tendon needs work, an MRI showed that his bones and cartilage were clean, according to 95.7 The Game.

“The MRI was clean,” Kerr said in a radio interview. “it is [patellar] Tendon. There was no damage to the cartilage or bone, so that’s good news. “That makes it a very basic surgery.”

Other notable NBA players who have suffered patellar tendon tears include Jeremy Lin, Victor Oladipo, and Caron Butler. Typically, these types of injuries take a long time to heal, taking up to a year for complete recovery. However, perhaps even more concerning for the Warriors is the decline in production players have experienced following this injury. Butler is the only exception, but most players who suffer from a torn patellar tendon never reach the level they did in previous years.

That being said, there is still plenty of optimism that Moody can return to the level he performed at. This season was his best year in five years playing with the Warriors. He averaged double figures in points while shooting 40% from three-point range for the first time in his career and has been an effective defender for the team. Moody had 23 points in that Mavericks game, filling up the stat sheet in many ways.

The Warriors play the Brooklyn Nets tomorrow. They are preparing for the postseason play-in tournament.

Cooper Flag reacts to Moses Moody’s horrific injury

Dallas Mavericks forward Cooper Flagg was the closest player to Golden State Warriors guard Moses Moody when he suffered a horrific injury Monday at American Airlines Center.

In overtime, Moody was going up for a dunk alone when his knee twisted. The bullet missed him and he fell on the floor. Flagg was running closest to him when this horrific incident happened.

The fans applauded warmly as Moody was pulled from the floor. It was his first game back after missing 10 games with a wrist injury.

The Mavericks lost to the Warriors 137–131.

In the post-game conference, Flagg shared his initial perspective on Moody’s knee injury, while also expressing his support.

“I can’t really tell. His leg has kind of given out. But it’s hard, and I’m praying for him and everything he’s going through. It’s horrible. But yeah, just praying for him,” Flagg said in a video posted by AB Jones of DLLS Sports.

The 19-year-old Flagg finished with 32 points, four rebounds, nine assists and two steals. Meanwhile, Moody, 23, had 23 points, three rebounds, three assists, three steals and two blocks.

The Mavericks also lost a key player after Daniel Gafford left with a shoulder injury in the fourth quarter. He could be considered questionable for their game against the Denver Nuggets on Wednesday.

The flag went viral after the loss to the Warriors as fans reacted to video of the rookie sensation showing extreme confidence in Nazi Marshall’s game-winning effort.

The Mavericks suffered their fourth consecutive loss and fell to 23–49, while the Warriors improved to 34–38.
