Cooper Flagg Sends Message After Warriors Player's Devastating Injury

The Golden State Warriors overcame a 15-point deficit to beat the Dallas Mavericks 137-131 in overtime on Monday, but the win was overshadowed by a serious late-game injury.

Moses Moody was back on the court for the first time after missing 10 straight games with a sprained right wrist. But his left knee buckled when he jumped for a clear rim attack after stealing the ball from Cooper Flagg. He collapsed right away, and the crowd at American Airlines Center went absolutely silent. 

After the game, the 23-year-old guard left the training room on crutches with a heavy knee brace. Steve Kerr confirmed that Moody had X-rays but didn't yet have a specific diagnosis. However, the coach confirmed that his injury looked very serious. He had scored 23 points before the injury.

Following the game, Flagg somberly reacted to Moody's non-contact knee injury, saying, “I couldn’t really tell. His leg kinda gave out. But it’s tough.. I’m praying for him and whatever he’s gonna go through, it’s terrible. But yeah, just praying for him."
