In the 2024 offseason, the Warriors signed Moses Moody to a three-year, $45 million extension. The 2025-26 season is the first year that the deal kicks in for Moody. Head coach Steve Kerr reported that Moody will be re-evaluated in one week. Golden State is being cautious with Moody’s injury one week ahead of the regular season.
Moses Moody reportedly suffered a calf injury at practice. If he is unavailable for Golden State’s first game, the Warriors have several players they could turn to. Brandin Poziesmki and Jonathan Kuminga are more than capable of starting. Moses Moody would love to be available for the Warriors on October 21. It would be the first time in his professional career that he is a starter on opening night. Additionally, the Warriors are eager for a third consecutive win to begin the season. Will Moses Moody be available for Golden State?
