Warriors’ Moses Moody Undergoes Thumb Surgery

Warriors guard Moses Moody underwent surgery on Wednesday to repair a torn ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) in his right thumb, the team announced in a press release (Twitter link). The procedure took place in Los Angeles.

According to the Warriors, the expectation is that Moody will make a full recovery prior to the start of training camp in the fall.

Moody, who will turn 23 next Saturday, averaged a career-high 9.8 points per game on .433/.374/.797 shooting in 74 outings for Golden State in 2024/25. His 34 starts and 22.3 minutes per game also represented career highs, as he established himself as a regular member of Steve Kerr‘s rotation during the second half of the season.

Moody started 30 consecutive games for the Warriors from February 13 to April 23 (Game 2 of the first round) before coming off the bench for the rest of the postseason.

The three-year, $37.5MM rookie scale extension that Moody signed with the Warriors last October will take effect this July once his rookie contract ends. He’ll earn a guaranteed $11.57MM salary on that new deal next season.
