Wetness on the court inside American Airlines Center coincided with\u00a0Moses Moody<\/a>\u2019s ruptured left patellar tendon.<\/p>\n

Speaking on Wednesday\u2019s episode of his eponymous podcast, Golden State Warriors<\/a> forward Draymond Green<\/a> said he and the Dallas Mavericks noted the court was wet during their Monday matchup. The Warriors\u2019 Moody slipped while attempting to dunk after stealing the basketball from Cooper\u00a0Flagg late in overtime and suffered his season-ending injury.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you look after the play, a lot of guys are standing there talking and what guys are saying is like, \u2018Man, we kept telling them the floor is wet.\u2019 \u2026 Because we thought (Moody) slipped,\u201d Green said. \u201cYou see him going full speed, you see him take off \u2014 we thought he slipped. You obviously go back and look at the replay, didn\u2019t slip. So, we\u2019re all just standing there like, \u2018Man.\u2019 It\u2019s one thing to see a guy get hurt but it\u2019s a different thing when you see a guy get hurt caused by a wet spot on the floor.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe all thought he slipped,\u201d Green continued. \u201cHe didn\u2019t slip. He went to go up, and it just gave out. \u2026 But that\u2019s what the dialogue was about. We kept telling them, \u2018The floor is wet.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

A homegrown swingman nearing the end of the most productive season of his five-year career, Moody is facing months of rehab with surgery scheduled for sometime this week. Part of Moody\u2019s 2026-27 season is presumably at jeopardy \u2014 along with that for Warriors forward Jimmy Butler<\/a>, who tore his right ACL in January.<\/p>\n

\u201cMoses does everything right as a professional,\u201d Green said. \u201cPuts in all the work. Doesn\u2019t complain about anything. Is never late. Never an issue. He\u2019s a coach\u2019s dream. He\u2019s a teammate\u2019s dream. He\u2019s an organization\u2019s dream. To see him get hurt after coming from a 10-game absence\u00a0\u2014 it\u2019s just unfortunate.\u201d<\/p>\n

Yurtseven signs second 10-day deal: The Warriors signed center Omer Yurtseven to a second 10-day contract Wednesday, they announced. Yurtseven, 27, signed his first 10-day deal March 16\u00a0\u2014 logging 3.2 points and 11.2 minutes in five games for Golden State.<\/p>\n
