Stephen Curry was seen sitting outside of the Mavericks’ medical evaluation room waiting on Moody.
Jason Kidd added postgame, “our prayers go out to Moody”.
On the night, he had tallied 23 points and three steals before the injury. The setback is a significant blow to Golden State, who are already without Stephen Curry and Jimmy Butler down the stretch.
This season has been a career-best for his fifth NBA season. Before the setback, he was averaging 11.9 points, shooting 44.1% from the field and 40.2% from three-point range.
No additional details about the injury's severity have been released, as the Warriors held on to defeat the Mavericks, 137-131.
