Third-year Warriors wing Moses Moody has been cleared to resume “light individual on-court workouts” after missing the past 12 days with a grade 1 left calf strain, but he’ll miss at least another week, which is when he’ll be reevaluated, Golden State announced.
Moody, 21, is averaging 8.7 PPG and 3.1 RPG in 18.0 MPG this season, with all of those figures representing career highs. The former 14th overall pick has appeared in 34 games in 2023-24, posting a .482/.358/.789 shooting line.
The Warriors also provided an injury update on veteran defensive ace Gary Payton II, who has been cleared for the same activities as Moody but will be sidelined for at least two more weeks. Payton sustained a grade 2 left hamstring strain on January 2 vs. Orlando.
Payton has dealt with numerous injuries throughout his career, including being limited to just 22 games in 2022-23. The 31-year-old was a key member of Golden State’s championship run in 2021-22.
