Warriors guard Moses Moody underwent surgery on Wednesday to repair a torn ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) in his right thumb, the team announced in a press release (Twitter link). The procedure took place in Los Angeles. According to the Warriors, the expectation is that Moody will make a full recovery prior to the start of training camp in the fall. Moody, who will turn 23 next Saturday, averaged a career-high 9.8 points per game on .433/.374/.797 shooting in 74 outings for Golden State in 2024/25. His 34 starts and 22.3 minutes per game also represented career highs, as he established himself as a regular member of Steve Kerr‘s rotation during the second half of the season.

Later in the quarter, Jalen Green made a move past Moses Moody, but Kevon Looney was there at the rim to block his shot. “We did a good job on him to start the series and I think that rattled his confidence a little bit,” said Draymond Green, who finished with 16 points, six rebounds, two blocks and a technical foul. “This isn’t something he’s been apart of before. He’s good young player. He’ll learn from his mistakes, but you’ve got to give the guys credit who were guarding him…. Anybody who was on him, he was a focal point. “We know what they are capable of when he’s scoring and so we really wanted to take him out of this series.” -via Houston Chronicle / May 5, 2025
