Overview
- On Sunday multiple reports said Moody is rehabbing in the Bay Area and is targeting September to resume running and begin individual on-court work.
- Moody underwent surgery after tearing his left patellar tendon on March 23 and his recovery is a staged process in which running is a key next step before full practices or game clearance.
- His timeline matters to the Warriors because Jimmy Butler also remains sidelined after a January ACL tear, leaving Stephen Curry to shoulder the team early next season.
- Media analysts have speculated that Moody could be included in trade scenarios to create salary-cap space for veteran signings, but Moody says he has not been contacted by the team and has checked in with agent Rich Paul.
- Moody spent the summer leading community events in Little Rock while rehabbing and arrives at September's goal as a 24-year-old wing who posted career highs last season and shot 40 percent from three.
