Moses Moody News, Rumors, Updates - Golden State Warriors

Shifts back to bench Moody won't start Wednesday's game against the Kings.

Impact Moody drew the starting nod Monday with Klay Thompson (knee) and Jonathan Kuminga (knee) sidelined, but he'll return to the bench with both Thompson and Kuminga healthy. In 19.3 minutes per game, Moody has tallied 9.8 points, 3.0 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 2.0 steals/blocks.

Team option exercised The Warriors exercised the fourth-year team option on Moody's rookie contract Tuesday, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.

Impact Moody is now tied to the Warriors through the 2024-25 campaign. After garnering a modest bench role in each of his first two seasons, Moody has seen an elevated role to start 2023-24. He's averaging 9.8 points, 3.0 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.5 steals in 19.3 minutes across four appearances (one start).

Reaches double figures as starter Moody totaled 13 points (5-8 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three rebounds and four assists over 21 minutes during Monday's 130-102 victory over the Pelicans.

Impact Moody got the starting nod due to Klay Thompson (knee) and Jonathan Kuminga (knee) both inactive Monday, finishing second among Warriors staters in scoring while finishing as one of five players with a double-digit point total against New Orleans. Moody, who posted his highest scoring outing of the year, has tallied 10 or more points in three of his four outings to start the season.

Joins starters Moody will start Monday's game against the Pelicans, Anthony Slater of The Athletic reports.

Impact Moody will enter the starting lineup while Chris Paul remains in a sixth-man role. Golden State is shorthanded with Klay Thompson (knee) and Jonathan Kuminga (knee) both inactive.

Comes close to double-double Moody had 18 points (7-11 FG, 4-6 3Pt), eight rebounds, a steal and a block across 17 minutes off the bench in Friday's 122-117 preseason loss to the Spurs.

Impact Moody is expected to see decent minutes as a scoring threat off the bench. Moody certainly made a good impression in the preseason, as he scored in double digits in four of his five appearances while averaging 13.2 points per game.

Puts up 15 points Saturday Moody finished with 15 points (6-13 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds and two assists across 24 minutes off the bench in Saturday's 125-108 preseason win over the Lakers.

Impact Moody was one of the top scorers for the Warriors in this game, though he wasn't particularly efficient after needing 13 shots to score 15 points. Moody is vying for bench minutes ahead of the regular season, but this performance was certainly a step in the right direction for him.

Steve Kerr: Draymond Green’s return crucial for Warriors title hopes

Barely in rotation Sunday Moody accumulated three points (1-1 FG, 1-1 3Pt) in five minutes during Sunday's 126-125 win over the Kings in Game 4 of the Western Conference Quarterfinals.

Impact Moody played just five minutes in the victory, continuing what has been an unfulfilling series, at least from his perspective. The Warriors, unsurprisingly, have leaned more on the veterans throughout the series, opting to offer only sporadic minutes to their younger pieces. Outside of a lopsided encounter, Moody figures to remain on the fringe of the rotation for the foreseeable future.

Is the end of the Golden State Warriors' dynasty looming?

Recalled by Golden State Golden State recalled Moody from the G League's Santa Cruz Warriors on Sunday.

Impact Moody is expected to add bench depth ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Lakers, but he doesn't figure to play a significant role. He's made 50 appearances with the Warriors this season, starting three times, but he's averaging only 4.6 points and 1.6 rebounds per contest.

Headed to Santa Cruz Moody was assigned to the Santa Cruz Warriors on Saturday.

Impact Moody has bounced between the NBA and G League levels and has been a steady part of the NBA Warriors' rotation as of late. He has appeared in nine straight games, averaging 2.8 points and 1.0 rebounds in 7.2 minutes across that stretch.

Back to NBA Golden State recalled Moody to the NBA club from the G League's Santa Cruz Warriors on Monday, C.J. Holmes of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Impact Moody and Patrick Baldwin were both elevated and will be available for the Warriors' matchup against the Thunder on Monday. Across 39 NBA appearances (three starts), Moody is averaging 5.2 points and 1.7 rebounds in 14.8 minutes per game.

Pops for season-high 17 Moody posted 17 points (7-11 FG, 3-5 3Pt), one rebound, three assists and one steal over 31 minutes during Wednesday's 143-113 loss to the Nets.

Impact Getting his second straight start on a night in which Stephen Curry (shoulder), Klay Thompson (knee), Andrew Wiggins (groin) and others were all in street clothes, Moody took advantage of the opportunity and set a new season high in points. The second-year guard has scored in double digits in three of the last five games, going 9-for-18 from three-point range during that stretch, but his role should shrink again once the Warriors' backcourt gets healthier.

Scores 11 in spot start Moody had 11 points (4-9 FG, 3-6 3Pt), three rebounds, one assist and one steal across 32 minutes during Tuesday's 132-94 loss to the Knicks.

Impact Moody entered the starting five for the second time this season and scored nine of his 11 points from beyond the arc. This marks his third time scoring in double figures over nine December appearances, as he's struggled to log consistent playing time behind Klay Thompson, Donte DiVincenzo and Anthony Lamb.

NBA Front Office Confidential: Should Warriors move off young pieces?

Strong shooting off bench Moody ended Wednesday's 125-119 loss to the Pacers with 13 points (5-6 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), one rebound and three assists over 23 minutes.

Impact The 20-year-old guard got a boost in playing time after Stephen Curry (shoulder) exited the contest, and Moody was able to take advantage. He's quietly been locked in from long range for a while now, going 7-for-11 on three-point attempts in December, and if Curry ends up missing additional time, Moody could have some short-term fantasy value.

Goes for 11 points Saturday Moody logged 11 points (4-5 FG, 3-3 3Pt), one rebound and one assist in 17 minutes during Saturday's 120-101 victory over Houston.

Impact Moody logged some extra minutes in garbage time, flashing his offensive arsenal in the process. Despite an element of upside, Moody's role has been inconsistent, to say the least. Barring injuries to key pieces, he appears likely to remain a backend rotation option better suited to the deepest of leagues.

Scores 10 in blowout loss Moody contributed 10 points (2-6 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 5-6 FT), four rebounds, one assist and one steal in 33 minutes during Monday's 128-83 loss to the Pelicans.

Impact The Warriors rested most of their starters in the second half of a back-to-back set, so this led several reserves to see more playing time. Moody wasn't part of the starting lineup, but he logged a season-high in minutes off the bench and was one of the few players who delivered a decent performance. The Warriors should be back at full strength for their next game against the Clippers on Wednesday, however, so Moody is expected to return to his end-of-the-bench role.

Could see reduced role Warriors coach Steve Kerr implied Wednesday that Moody could be among the younger players who see fewer minutes as Golden State attempts to improve its defense, Kendra Andrews of...

Impact The Warriors are currently a bottom-five defensive team, and fixing that is something Kerr is clearly going to prioritize in the short term. He noted that the Warriors are operating with a "smaller margin of error," so he may lean more heavily on the likes of Anthony Lamb and Ty Jerome -- a pair of two-way players -- instead of Moody, Jonathan Kuminga and James Wiseman. This could simply be a motivational tactic by Kerr, but it's certainly not the most encouraging endorsement of Golden State's young trio. Through 11 appearances this season, Moody is averaging 4.4 points, 1.5 rebounds and 0.8 made threes while shooting 43.7 percent from the floor. The 2021 lottery pick remains an intriguing long-term piece, but he doesn't have much of a path to fantasy relevancy this season.

Not starting vs. Kings Moody isn't in the starting lineup for Monday's game against Sacramento.

Impact Moody drew a rare spot start Friday with many of Golden State's starters getting the night off to rest, and he'll return to his normal bench role Monday night. He's averaging 5.8 points and 2.1 rebounds in nine games off the bench so far this season.

NOVEMBER 8, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Underwhelming in spot start Moody closed with 14 points (4-9 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 5-5 FT), four rebounds and one assist across 32 minutes during Friday's 114-105 loss to the Pelicans.

Impact Moody joined a host of fringe players in the starting lineup Friday, filling in as the stars were given the night off. Despite the promotion, Moody was unable to capitalize, much to the disappointment of those who streamed him in. Expect to see the main core back on the court against the Kings on Monday, meaning Moody will likely shift back to a bench role.
