Overview
- MRI and team tests on Tuesday confirmed a full tear in Moody’s left patellar tendon, with surgery scheduled for Thursday.
- Late in overtime, his left knee buckled without contact as he rose for a fast-break dunk after a steal, and he left the court on a stretcher.
- Moody had just returned from a sprained right wrist and logged 23 points and three steals in the win at Dallas.
- Some outlets first pointed to a possible kneecap dislocation based on slow-motion video, but the final diagnosis identified a tendon rupture instead.
- The injury tightens Golden State’s depth as the team deals with other health issues, including Stephen Curry’s knee problems this season.
