Moses Moody of the Warriors exits with apparently serious knee injury late in OT against Mavs
DALLAS (AP) — Golden State's Moses Moody dribbled all alone on his way to what looked to be an easy basket after stealing the ball from Dallas rookie standout Cooper Flagg yet again. Instead, Moody's left leg buckled and he crumpled to the court with an apparently serious left knee injury that left players and coaches from both teams stunned along with fans late in overtime of what had been an intense game.
The last time Moses Moody saw action for head coach Steve Kerr and the Golden State Warriors was on March 2, in a 114-101 loss to the Los Angeles Clippers. The 23-year-old has since missed 10 straight games due to a lingering wrist injury.
We all knew it was coming; it was just a matter of "when," not "if." With a 137-131 loss to the Golden State Warriors in overtime on Monday night, who were playing without Stephen Curry, the Dallas Mavericks have officially been eliminated from postseason contention.
