Rotowire
Moody contributed nine points (3-5 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds and one steal over 13 minutes during Wednesday's 118-112 win over the Celtics.
Moody returned to the starting lineup for Wednesday's matchup but was handed a small workload in comparison to the other members of the first unit. Despite only 13 minutes of action, he was efficient on the offensive end and crashed the glass for his best mark of the season in rebounds. Moody is averaging 10.6 points, 2.6 rebounds and 1.4 assists over his last five appearances.

Warriors' Moses Moody: Remains in starting lineup
Rotowire
Moody will start Saturday's game against the Rockets.
Despite Andrew Wiggins (back) returning to action, Moody will remain in the starting lineup, with Jonathan Kuminga coming off the bench again. Over his first two starts this season, Moody averaged 12.5 points, 3.0 rebounds and 2.0 assists in 23.5 minutes per game.
Warriors' Moses Moody: Logs 17 points in spot start
Rotowire
Moody amassed 17 points (6-8 FG, 5-6 3Pt), two rebounds, one assist and one block across 17 minutes during Tuesday's 124-106 win over the Pelicans.
Coach Steve Kerr elected to give Moody the start in place of Jonathan Kuminga, who has struggled with his shot over the team's first three games. Moody gave way to Kuminga eventually, but the former managed a strong line despite playing only 17 minutes. Kuminga's shot was more accurate during the victory, but Kerr may implement a platoon at the position in the short term.
Moody will enter the starting lineup in Tuesday's game against the Pelicans, Kendra Andrews of ESPN.com reports.
After a slow start to the season for Jonathan Kuminga, Moody will replace him and get the start at small forward Tuesday. Through three regular-season outings off the bench, the 22-year-old has averaged 10.0 points, 1.7 rebounds and 1.0 assists while shooting 45.8 percent across 15.0 minutes per game.
Warriors' Moses Moody: Agrees to three-year extension
Rotowire
Moody signed a three-year, $39 million contract extension Sunday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
Moody is coming off a 2023-24 campaign during which he averaged 8.1 points on 46.2 percent shooting and 3.0 rebounds across 17.5 minutes per game over 66 regular-season contests (nine starts). His role during the upcoming season was expected to expand following the departure of Klay Thompson to the Mavericks, but it's unclear how much playing time Moody will see with the additions of De'Anthony Melton and Buddy Hield. Still, a three-year extension indicates the Warriors consider Moody very much a part of their future plans.
Warriors' Moses Moody: Leads all scorers with 21 points
Rotowire
Moody compiled 21 points (7-13 FG, 5-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, two assists and a steal across 19 minutes during Tuesday's 111-97 preseason win over the Lakers.
Moody's role was enhanced thanks to DNP designations for De'Anthony Melton (back) and Brandin Podziemski (nose). The acquisitions of Melton and Buddy Hield have diminished Moody's potential, which was supposed to be elevated after Klay Thompson's departure. While Moody's preseason lines are encouraging, his eventual role in Golden State's rotation is currently in question.

Warriors' Moses Moody: Expected off bench Tuesday
Rotowire
Moody is not in the starting lineup for Tuesday's preseason game against the Lakers, Dan Woike of the Los Angeles Times reports.
Draymond Green (rest) is back in the starting five, and Moody is expected to play off the bench Tuesday. The 22-year-old is coming off a career-best year, and with Klay Thompson out of the picture, Moody will likely be in for an uptick in playing time once again.

Warriors' Moses Moody: Drops 14 points
Rotowire
Moody logged 14 points (5-14 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three assists, two rebounds and one steal in 25 minutes of Sunday's 111-93 preseason win over Detroit.
This wasn't Moody's best shooting night, to be fair, but it's clear the Warriors have given him the green light. He's been impressive overall in the preseason, and his chances of securing a rotation spot are trending in the right direction, especially after the departure of Klay Thompson this offseason.

Warriors' Moses Moody: Pops for 23 on Friday
Rotowire
Moody scored a game-high 23 points (7-13 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 7-8 Ft) while adding three rebounds in 25 minutes during Friday's 109-106 preseason win over the Kings.
Getting the start at shooting guard, Moody was the only member of Golden State's starting five to score more than seven points as coach Steve Kerr continues to mix-and-match his lineup. Moody has yet to make a consistent impact heading into his fourth NBA season, but his production took a step forward in 2023-24 -- including career highs in points (8.1), boards (3.0) and threes (1.1) per game -- and he's making a case for more court time on the wing.

Warriors' Moses Moody: Starting Friday
Rotowire
Moody will start at shooting guard in Friday's exhibition game versus the Kings, Anthony Slater of The Athletic reports.
Moody has come off the bench in Golden State's previous two preseason games, as De'Anthony Melton and Brandin Podziemski each got starts at shooting guard. Moody will have his turn Friday. He is competing for minutes on the wing this season for Golden State.
