Severe injury! Warriors' 14th pick! Experts suspect possible patellar tendon rupture.

Unlucky, so unlucky.

Moody stole the ball from top pick Flagg, intending to take off for a dunk, but likely stepped exactly on a slippery spot on the floor, causing a severe knee injury due to a slip.

After the game, the Warriors defeated the Mavericks 137-131 away. In this game, Moody returned after ten games, started and played about 34 minutes, delivering a comprehensive performance with 23 points, 3 rebounds, 3 assists, 3 steals, and 2 blocks.

Close-up pictures won't be shared; they're too frightening.

Latest reports indicate Moody has undergone X-ray examination and will return to the Bay Area for further MRI evaluation.

Injury expert Nirav Pandya commented: "Moody may have a patellar tendon rupture, patellar dislocation, and multiple ligament injuries among other possibilities."

Moody was born on May 31, 2002, a 1.96m tall dual guard with a 2.15m wingspan, selected as the 14th pick in the first round of the 2021 draft. This season he gradually showcased his talent, playing 59 games with 48 starts, averaging 25.5 minutes per game, contributing 11.9 points, 3.3 rebounds, and 1.6 assists, with shooting percentages of 44.1%, 40.2%, and 77.1%. Unfortunately, luck did not favor him.

Fortunately, Moody agreed to a three-year, $37.5 million extension with the Warriors in 2024, with his current contract running until summer 2028. He can now focus on recovery patiently to return fully healed.

The Warriors have faced continuous injuries this season: Butler suffered a right knee ACL tear ending his season, Moody has a severe knee injury, Curry has missed 22 consecutive games due to right knee patellofemoral pain syndrome and bone bruise... leading to below-expected team performance, currently holding a 34-38 record ranking 10th in the West.

Fortunately, the Warriors currently lead the 11th-place Pelicans by 9 wins, securing at least a play-in spot, though they may again face missing the playoffs, with only 10 regular-season games remaining.

Finally, best wishes again to Moody; whether now or in the future, he remains an important part of the Warriors.
