Overview
- Moody ruptured his left patellar tendon in late March 2026 and had surgery a few days later, starting a staged rehab that has progressed in the Bay Area.
- According to reporting by The Athletic and corroborated outlets on Aug. 4, 2026, Moody is targeting September to begin running and return to individual on‑court work.
- Medical milestones such as returning to running do not guarantee availability for full practices or games, so Moody is expected to miss at least the season opener and likely the first half of the 2026–27 season.
- Stephen Curry traveled to Little Rock in late July to support Moody’s charity event, a high-profile sign of internal backing that factors into the Warriors’ decision-making about keeping him.
- Moody’s team-friendly contract (three years, $37.5 million with two seasons remaining) and his injury status make him a difficult short-term trade asset but preserve his value as a developing 3-and-D wing if he returns healthy.
