The 2023 season has been quite a challenge for the Golden State Warriors. Their foundation has faced difficulties from their franchise to their star players, like Klay Thompson and Draymond Green. However, the recent struggles extend beyond the main lineup to second-unit players. Most prominently around Chris Paul, Moses Moody, and Dario Saric. Chris Paul finds himself sidelined due to a left hand fracture. Moody is dealing with a calf strain, while Saric is out with a general illness. Despite these setbacks, the Warriors managed to secure victories in their last two games against the Philadelphia 76ers and the Memphis Grizzlies.

The Warriors now aim to build on their momentum. Moses Moody has actively participated in a recent workout with the squad and is anticipated to make his comeback before February 9. The upcoming games against the Brooklyn Nets or the subsequent back-to-back matches could mark his return. Additionally, there’s hope for Dario Saric to rejoin the lineup during their game against the Nets.

The Warriors have been significantly impacted by injuries throughout this season, dealing with the persistent sting of the injury bug. Moses Moody’s imminent return promises to inject much-needed energy into a Warriors’ rotation that has been, to put it mildly, shaky. With his increased usage and standout performances this season, Moody’s presence is expected to bring stability to Golden State on both ends of the floor.

Adding to the Warriors’ injury concerns is the inclusion of Gary Payton II in their injury report as they prepare to face the Atlanta Hawks. On the other side, the Hawks themselves are grappling with a shortage of players, currently having a whopping total of seven absentees. Their extensive list comprises Dejounte Murray, Saddiq Bey, Mouhamed Gueye, Kobe Bufkin, De’Andre Hunter, Vit Krejci, and Wesley Matthews.

What is Moses Moody’s near future with the Warriors?

In the summer of 2025, Moses Moody will become a free agent. This gives the Warriors a window of opportunity to experiment with his role and potentially secure a contract extension. Moody has often been pulled from critical moments in games. However, the franchise expresses a strong desire to retain him, viewing him as a valuable addition with favorable financial implications. Furthermore, the Warriors believe in Moody’s potential for growth, especially considering his above-league-average shooting skills.

Moreover, Moody is currently experiencing the best minutes of his career, even though he has yet to secure a larger role within the squad. The intriguing factor lies in Moody’s defensive capabilities, making him a tempting asset in potential trade scenarios. While other teams may express an interest in acquiring Moody, the franchise, akin to their approach with Jonathan Kuminga, has shown a reluctance to part ways with the promising young talent.
