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.

Golden State shorthanded for Nets matchup amid injuries to Stephen Curry, Moses Moody

The Golden State Warriors will be shorthanded against the Brooklyn Nets on Wednesday as they try to post their first win in two months. With Jimmy Butler out for the season, Stephen Curry will miss his 23rd consecutive game with a right knee injury. Meanwhile, Moses Moody (left patellar tendon rupture), Quentin Post (right foot injury management), Al Horford (right soleus strain) and Seth Curry (left adductor strain) are also sidelined.

Steve Kerr clarified the Warriors’ stance on a potential Curry return during an interview on Wednesday.

“If we don’t feel good about (his knee), he’s not going to play. We’re not going to push him into anything if things aren’t really clear,” Kerr said on 95.7 The Game.

The Warriors have suffered injuries to several other rotation pieces amid the absences of Curry and Butler.

Horford has missed the team’s last six games due to a calf strain. Meanwhile, Moody ruptured the patellar tendon in his left knee during Monday’s win over the Dallas Mavericks. The post mentioned a problem with his right foot. Wednesday will be his fifth absence since March 7.

The Warriors are 7-15 during Curry’s absence. They rank 25th in offense, 23rd in defense and 22nd in net rating (-5.4) during that span.

Golden State continues to hold on to 10th place in the Western Conference standings. Kerr’s team is 1.5 games behind the ninth-place Portland Trail Blazers and two games behind the eighth-place Los Angeles Clippers with 10 games remaining.

Luckily for them, the Nets will also be severely shorthanded on Wednesday. Michael Porter Jr. is out with a hamstring strain, while Noah Clowney (right wrist sprain), Nolan Traore (rest), Danny Wolf (left ankle sprain), De’Ron Sharp (left thumb surgery) and Egor Demin (left plantar fascia injury management) are also out.

Brooklyn has lost its last eight games.

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.

Moses Moody suffers serious patellar tendon injury

Golden State Warriors wing Moses Moody has suffered a torn patellar tendon in his left knee, as first reported by ESPN’s Shams Charania.

Moody will not only miss the remainder of the 2025-26 NBA season due to this serious injury, but he will now face a lengthy rehabilitation process to resume his career. The Warriors have not yet provided an official diagnosis for Moody’s injury or a timeline for when he will ultimately undergo surgery.

The injury occurred while attempting a wide-open dunk off a steal in the fourth quarter of the Warriors’ 137-131 overtime win over the Dallas Mavericks late Monday night. While planting and preparing to jump, Moody’s left leg gave out, resulting in his body being thrown into the air and landing hard on the ground.

He immediately grabbed his left knee with a jerk as play continued for several seconds on the opposite side of the court. Medical personnel immediately came out of the court with a stretcher before helping Moody off the floor a few minutes later.

Moody is in the first year of a three-year, $37.5 million extension with the Warriors and was averaging career-highs in points (12.1), rebounds (3.3) and assists (1.6) while shooting a career-best 40.1 percent from 3-point range this season.

This is a developing story that will be updated soon.

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.

Draymond Green’s warm gesture to Moses Moody after knee injury

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.

Moses Moody ruled out of Mavericks contest with serious leg injury

During the Golden State Warriors’ game against the Dallas Mavericks, one of their key players suffered a serious knee injury. As Warriors forward Moses Moody was going up for a breakaway dunk, the forward clutched his leg in pain. Moody was taken care of on the next dead ball and taken off the court on a stretcher.

It’s a heartbreaking injury for Moody, who has missed the Warriors’ last 10 games with a wrist injury. Moody started this game against the Mavericks and was playing well. He led the shorthanded Warriors with 23 points and filled the stat sheet with three rebounds, three assists, three steals and two blocks.

Moody’s injury occurred in overtime at the end of the game against the Mavericks. The Warriors held a strong 136–131 lead over Dallas, and Moody’s steal would have given the lead a solid seven points as the game was winding down. The injury appeared to be serious, as it appeared the forward’s lower leg was hanging off at one point.

Warriors fans will now await the results of further testing on Moody. The Warriors improved to 33-38 and are in last place in the Western Conference Play-In Tournament. This is another brutal injury for Golden State, who are already without Jimmy Butler and Steph Curry for the remainder of the regular season.

Moses Itauma questions WBC call as Oleksandr Usyk vs. Verhoeven title fight sparks debate

Oleksandr Usyk will defend his WBC heavyweight title against Rico Verhoeven on May 23 in Giza, Egypt, with the fight taking place near the Pyramids. The event will be broadcast worldwide on DAZN pay-per-view.

The fight has attracted attention throughout boxing after it was approved as a full title defense by the WBC Board of Governors. The sanctioning body initially placed the matchup as a special event, later confirming that it would be contested for the belt.

That change has sparked debate within the sport, including a reaction from rising British heavyweight Moussa Itauma.

Moussa Itauma questions WBC decision

Moses Itauma spoke to Ariel Helwani after the WBC confirmed the fight would receive full title status. The 21-year-old said Usyk has earned the right to choose his opponents, but questioned whether the decision was fair.

“Usyk, he can do whatever he wants. He’s earned this right. But I don’t like to use the word fair, but I don’t think he should be allowed to fight for a world title.”

“Obviously, like I said, Usyk has earned the right to do whatever he wants, but I don’t think it’s right for Rico to be able to fight for a world title in his first fight. It’s a little crazy.”

Itauma also addressed the occasion on Verhoeven’s behalf.

“If Rico got a chance to fight Usyk for the WBC title, it would be foolish for him not to take it. It’s only fair if he’s able to fight for it in his first fight. It’s a little crazy.”

Rico Verhoeven enters his first major boxing title fight

Rico Verhoeven, 36, is a longtime kickboxing champion who has built his reputation on glory with victories over the top names in that sport. His professional boxing record includes one fight in 2014.

The fight against Usyk will be his first appearance in a major boxing event. The WBC’s decision to sanction the bout as a title fight came after its initial status was changed.

Dan Rafael and other members of the media reported the WBC’s earlier stance on the matchup.

“The WBC fully supports this crossover fight. This will be the WBC’s signature event. And we will create an incredible belt featuring elements of the Egyptian pyramids. The WBC supports Fury vs. Ngannou [sic]Joe proved to be very competitive, and we have full respect for Rico as a great kickboxing heavyweight champion. At this time, the request for a title defense has not been discussed and only a special event involving the WBC Heavyweight Champion has been discussed.

That situation later changed, with the WBC confirming that the fight would be for the title.

“After careful consideration. The WBC Board of Governors has ruled in favor of approving the voluntary title defense of WBC World Heavyweight Champion Oleksandr Usyk against veteran kickboxing champion Rico Verhoeven.”

Organizers have positioned the event as a global showcase with international distribution through DAZN pay-per-view.

Usyk prepares for next title defense

Oleksandr Usyk entered the bout undefeated with a 24-0 record and 15 knockouts. The Ukrainian holds multiple heavyweight titles and remains active at the top level of the division.

The May 23 contest will serve as his next defense of the WBC belt, with Verhoeven stepping up to challenge despite his limited boxing experience. Itauma, who has a 13-0 record with 11 knockouts, continues to build his career with an eye on growth in the heavyweight division.

The decision to upgrade the bout to a title bout has put the focus on the matchup, with eyes now turning to how the bout plays out and what it could mean for future opportunities in the heavyweight division.

Moses Moody gets new injury deadline after missing 3 games

The Golden State Warriors have been without Moses Moody for the last three games due to a sprained right wrist. On Tuesday, the organization shared an update regarding the timeline for his return.

Moody, who will turn 24 in May, was said to have made progress during his evaluation process on Tuesday. However, he is not ready to return yet and will be reevaluated at the end of the week, according to the Warriors PR.

“Warriors guard Moses Moody, who has missed the last three games after suffering a right wrist sprain on March 2 against the Los Angeles Clippers, was recently re-evaluated. The re-evaluation indicated that Moody is making good progress and has progressed in on-court work. He will be re-evaluated later this week.”

Based on the announcement, the fifth-year veteran will miss Tuesday’s game against the Chicago Bulls. However, it seems like there’s a chance he could be back as soon as Friday when the Warriors take on the Minnesota Timberwolves at home. But it really depends on when the next revaluation process takes place.

Moses Moody has played in 59 games for the Warriors this season, starting 48. He has been a solid contributor, averaging 11.9 points (career-high), 3.3 rebounds (career-high), and 1.6 assists (career-high) per game, while shooting 44.1% from the floor and 40.2% from beyond the three-point line (career-high).

The Warriors are currently struggling with many injuries. Since Moody is going to miss at least one more contest, we should expect Will Richard to play an extended role when the Warriors take on the Bulls. Pat Spencer, LC Cryer, Kristaps Porzingis and Al Horford could also see more playing time.

Multiple Moses Moody injuries make collapse vs. Clippers worse

On Monday evening, the Golden State Warriors’ losing streak continued with a blowout loss at home to the Los Angeles Clippers. The Warriors controlled the game for most of the season, but fell behind in the fourth quarter, trailing by 15 in the final frame and losing the game 114–101.

Now, things have gone from bad to worse with some tough news on the injury front regarding shooting guard Moses Moody.

Dalton Johnson of NBC Sports Bay Area, formerly of the Ax, reported on Twitter, “According to Steve Kerr, Moses Moody jammed his right wrist and hurt his shoulder.” “The Warriors will know more about his condition tomorrow.”

It’s a tough break for a Warriors team that was already weakened from an injury perspective, with Stephen Curry out for most of the last month with a knee injury, and Jimmy Butler already out for the year with a torn ACL.

Moody is enjoying a good season for the Warriors, hovering around 40 percent from beyond the arc throughout the campaign, and he’ll certainly be hoping these injuries aren’t too serious.

Currently, the Warriors are 31-30 on the season, and if the regular season ended today, they would be in the Western Conference play-in tournament for the third consecutive year.

Making matters more frustrating for Golden State is that recent trade acquisition Kristaps Porzingis, whom the team brought in from the Atlanta Hawks in exchange for Jonathan Kuminga, has played just one game for the team as he battled an illness.

Kuminga, meanwhile, has had a great start to his tenure in Atlanta.

In any case, the Warriors next face off on Thursday evening when they hit the road to take on the Houston Rockets.
