One promising dunk attempt has ended Moses Moody’s season and plunged the Golden State Warriors deeper into their nightmarish campaign.

Just when we thought that this season couldn’t get any worse for the Golden State Warriors, fate takes it up like a challenge. The Dubs have faced a fresh setback as their young guard, Moses Moody, will be spending months on the sidelines following his injury in their overtime win against the Dallas Mavericks on Monday.

According to NBA Insider Shams Charania, Moody has been diagnosed with a ruptured patellar tendon. For now, the worst part about this update is that his career-best season is over within the blink of an eye, and the Warriors find themselves in much deeper trouble with injury issues piling up with every single game.

The incident happened in overtime with 1:13 left on the clock when Moody stole the ball from Mavericks rookie Cooper Flagg and went up for an open dunk. However, while coming down, his left knee buckled, and as a result, he was seen sprawling on the ground. He couldn’t get back on his feet and was stretchered out, highlighting the severity of the injury.

After the game, Warriors head coach Steve Kerr was waiting for results from the medical team, but he also understood the severity of the injury.”We don’t know what it is, but it sure looked bad,” Kerr said. “Just hoping for the best.”

Before the injury news broke in the media, sports medicine physician Brian Sutterer predicted that this would be a patellar tendon rupture. “This isn’t like a limb-threatening sort of an injury, but absolutely something that’s going to require surgery and could start to creep into next season,” Sutterer said. “It will definitely keep him out at the start of next season, but oftentimes this is a nine-month, potentially year-long recovery for a basketball player.”
