Golden State Warriors wing Moses Moody suffered a non-contact left knee harm late in Monday evening’s 137-131 overtime win in Dallas, needing the help of a stretcher to exit the ground.
Moody stole the ball from Mavericks rookie Cooper Flagg with 1:13 left in time beyond regulation and went up for what seemed to be a wide-open dunk to punctuate the win, however his left knee buckled as he planted and Moody went sprawling to the ground.
Play continued for a number of seconds as Moody remained down underneath the basket close to the Warriors’ bench. After the subsequent whistle, teammates, workers and trainers gathered round Moody to examine on him. Arena staff introduced a stretcher out and the sport was stopped for a number of minutes.
Moody had simply returned from a latest proper wrist sprain, lacking the earlier 10 video games. He’d been productive in opposition to the Mavericks, placing up 23 factors and three steals, bothering Flagg a lot of the second half.
But then the newest in what has been a wave of devastating accidents struck Moody and the Warriors, overshadowing the highway win. They’ve already misplaced veteran wing Jimmy Butler to a torn ACL and Stephen Curry has missed the final 22 video games along with his personal persistent proper knee subject.
Warriors coach Steve Kerr mentioned Moody received X-rays instantly after the sport.
“We don’t know what it is, but it sure looked bad,” Kerr mentioned.
Moody is in his fifth season and averaging a career-high 11.9 factors, beginning in 49 of the 60 video games he has appeared. He is in the primary yr of a three-year, $39 million contract extension he signed previous to his fourth season.
