Warriors' Moses Moody stretchered off with gruesome injury in overtime win

Warriors' Moses Moody stretchered off with gruesome injury in overtime win

It wasn’t the comeback anyone was expecting. Just one minute into overtime at the Chase Center, Moses Moody, returning from a 10-game absence due to a right wrist sprain, suffered a serious leg injury during the game against Dallas on Monday night. 

Moody came down awkwardly after a missed breakaway layup. He immediately grabbed his left knee in pain. He was carried off the floor as a result.

On the night, he had tallied 23 points and three steals before the injury. The setback is a significant blow to Golden State, who are already without Stephen Curry and Jimmy Butler down the stretch.

This season has been a career-best for his fifth NBA season. Before the setback, he was averaging 11.9 points, shooting 44.1% from the field and 40.2% from three-point range. 

No additional details about the injury’s severity have been released, as the Warriors held on to defeat the Mavericks, 137-131.
