The Golden State Warriors have been navigating a rough patch without Moses Moody, sidelined for the past three games due to a sprained right wrist. On Tuesday, the team provided an update on his status, offering a glimmer of hope for fans eager to see him back on the court.
Moody, who is approaching his 24th birthday in May, has shown promising progress during his recent evaluation. However, he's not quite ready to return to action just yet. According to the Warriors' PR, he will undergo another evaluation later this week to assess his readiness.
"Warriors guard Moses Moody, who has missed the last three games after suffering a sprained right wrist against the Los Angeles Clippers on March 2, was recently re-evaluated. The re-evaluation indicated that Moody is making good progress and has elevated to on-court work. He will be re-evaluated again later this week."
This update means Moody will sit out Tuesday's clash against the Chicago Bulls. There's optimism, though, that he might make his comeback by Friday, when the Warriors face off against the Minnesota Timberwolves at home. His return hinges on the timing and outcome of the next evaluation.
Moody has been a key player for the Warriors this season, appearing in 59 games and starting in 48. He's been delivering career-high numbers, averaging 11.9 points, 3.3 rebounds, and 1.6 assists per game. His shooting has been sharp, hitting 44.1% from the field and an impressive 40.2% from three-point range.
With the Warriors grappling with a slew of injuries, Moody's absence will be felt. In the meantime, expect Will Richard to step up and take on a bigger role against the Bulls. Additionally, players like Pat Spencer, LC Cryer, Kristaps Porzingis, and Al Horford may see increased playing time as the Warriors look to navigate this challenging stretch.
