On Monday evening, the Golden State Warriors' losing ways continued with a brutal home defeat at the hands of the Los Angeles Clippers. The Warriors controlled this game for most of the way, but ended up falling apart in the fourth quarter, being outscored by 15 in the final frame and losing the game, 114-101.
Now, things have gone from bad to worse with some tough news on the injury front regarding shooting guard Moses Moody.
“Moses Moody jammed his right wrist and hurt his shoulder, per Steve Kerr,” reported Dalton Johnson of NBC Sports Bay Area on X, formerly Twitter. “The Warriors will know more about his status tomorrow.”
It's a tough break for a Warriors team that had already been coming apart at the seams from an injury perspective, with Stephen Curry missing most of the last month due to a knee injury, and Jimmy Butler already having been ruled out for the year due to a torn ACL.
Moody has been enjoying a nice season for the Warriors, hovering around 40 percent from beyond the arc throughout the campaign, and he will certainly be hoping that these injuries are not anything too severe.
Currently, the Warriors sit at 31-30 on the season, and would be in the play-in tournament in the Western Conference for a third straight year if the regular season ended today.
Making matters even more frustrating for Golden State is that recent trade acquisition Kristaps Porzingis, whom the team brought in from the Atlanta Hawks in exchange for Jonathan Kuminga, has played just one game for the team as he deals with an illness.
Kuminga, meanwhile, has gotten off to a great start to his tenure in Atlanta.
In any case, the Warriors are next set to take the floor on Thursday evening when they hit the road to take on the Houston Rockets.
