MOSES Moody

Moody sat out all three of the Warriors' games so far: a loss to Portland on October 7, a win over the Lakers on October 6, and a loss to the Clippers on October 4. He logged zero minutes in each, consistent with his injury report status of out. That means Golden State has had to lean on the rest of its guard and wing rotation to make up his minutes early in 2026-27. Nothing in his game log this season reflects on-court performance — it's simply a run of DNPs while he rehabs the knee. Until he's cleared to practice and play, those zeros will keep showing up next to his name in the box score.

Before the injury, Moody was a rotation piece for Golden State. In 2025-26 he played 60 games, averaging 25.7 minutes, 12.1 points, 3.3 rebounds, 1.6 assists, 1.0 steal and 0.6 blocks per game. He shot 44.0% from the field, 40.1% from three and 77.0% from the free-throw line, with a true shooting mark of 60.0% and a usage rate of 17.4%. His plus-minus was +1.3. He had stretches of real scoring punch, including a 24-point game against New Orleans on February 24, 2026, and a 23-point game against Denver on February 22, 2026, both wins. Those numbers show why his absence matters for Golden State's depth.

Moody wears No. 4 for the Warriors and plays guard. He's listed at 6-5 and 217 pounds, and he's 24 years old entering his fifth NBA season. He played college basketball at Arkansas before turning pro. Golden State has had him in its perimeter rotation in recent years, using him as a wing defender and secondary shooter alongside the team's veteran core. The current injury is the first time in his five seasons that he's dealt with a long-term absence tied to a serious lower-body injury, and it's kept him out of the lineup since the preseason.

On October 16, 2026, Anthony Slater published a Warriors notes column that grouped Moody with Jimmy Butler, Stephen Curry and Dayron Bassey. Details of what was said about each player in that roundup aren't specified beyond the headline, so treat it as a general check-in on several Warriors rather than a specific trade or lineup rumor involving Moody. As with any notes column, nothing there should be read as a decision — it's a reported update, not confirmed news.

The Warriors are pointing to a window between December and January for Moody's return, with December 1 marked as the estimated date. Until then, Golden State will keep managing without him, as it did in losses to Portland and the Clippers and a win over the Lakers to open the season. If he comes back healthy, his last season numbers, 12.1 points and 40.1% three-point shooting, suggest he can slide right back into the rotation as a shooter and defender. For now, his status is simply out, and any update will likely come through further injury reports.
