\"Stephen(Image Source \u2014 Getty Images) The Golden State Warriors seem to have discovered their groove early this season, and it\u2019s not solely Steph Curry who\u2019s shining. Moses Moody\u2019s preseason showing against the Los Angeles Lakers caught everyone\u2019s attention, showing the growth fans have been eager to see. With a strong roster and fresh faces joining, one question arises if Moody<\/a> is the unexpected secret to another Warriors success?<\/p>\n

Stephen Curry impressed by Moses Moody\u2019s summer progress<\/p>\n

In a post-game press conference, Stephen Curry spoke to reporters about Moses Moody’s strides. Curry said to the media, \u201cI would say, and maybe he could speak on it. But this is probably the best summer he\u2019s had, health-wise obviously, but just the idea of he knows what he needs to do to impact the game when he\u2019s on the floor, where his shots are gonna come and all that, so that comes over time, and it\u2019s good to see him out there.You can kinda tell the way he\u2019s carrying himself, he has clarity on what he needs to do.\u201d Curry further explained Moody’s confidence, noting in the same interview, \u201cIt\u2019s his confidence. For a young guy, when you don\u2019t know your minutes, that\u2019s the biggest challenge.\u201d These comments, shared during the media session after the Lakers game, reflect Curry’s mentorship and optimism for Moody’s role.<\/p>\n

Moses Moody\u2019s fifth NBA season begins with a statement performance<\/p>\n

Moses Moody is starting his fifth NBA season with the Golden State Warriors, and he really made an impression by scoring 19 points on 7-of-9 shooting and 5-of-7 from three-point territory, along with one assist and one steal all in just 15 minutes. His effective shooting opened up the floor and highlighted his potential as a 3-and-D asset.This performance follows a tough end to the 2024-25 season, where Moody’s output dropped due to injury, but it indicates a solid comeback. The game offered an early insight into how Moody fits in with stars like Stephen Curry, Draymond Green, Jimmy Butler, and the re-signed Jonathan Kuminga on the Warriors’ lineup.<\/p>\n

Moses Moody\u2019s rehab process improves shooting rhythm and control<\/p>\n

Moody had a solid performance after a rough end to the last season. He dealt with a torn UCL in his right thumb towards the end of 2024-25, which affected his performance. His averages in April took a hit, and he had limited playing time during the Golden State Warriors’ second-round playoff defeat against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Even with the injury, Moody achieved career-highs overall, averaging 9.8 points per game. He had surgery in May 2025 to fix his thumb.In post-game remarks to reporters, Moody explained the positive side, saying, \u201cI think the surgery and everything ended up being really a good thing for me because I was rehabbing and bringing my thumb back into my shot made me slow down.\u201d This rehab process, combined with focused training, contributed to what Curry described as Moody’s best summer yet, emphasizing health and on-court clarity.The Golden State Warriors are aiming to surpass last season’s second-round exit with a strong lineup that includes Stephen Curry, Jimmy Butler, Draymond Green, Jonathan Kuminga, and Al Horford.Moody’s development as a reliable shooter and team player could secure him consistent minutes in the rotation, which is essential for addressing depth issues in a competitive Western Conference.Coach Kerr has four preseason games remaining to finalize the lineups before the regular season starts against the Los Angeles Lakers on October 21, 2025, at Crypto.com Arena. If Moody maintains his current performance, he might become a key player in the team’s pursuit of playoff success.Also Read: Ja Morant\u2019s ankle injury ignites concern over Memphis Grizzlies\u2019 fragile start to the new season<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"(Image Source \u2014 Getty Images) The Golden State Warriors seem to have discovered their groove early this season,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":205583,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[64],"tags":[118149,2243,6422,1055,7741,11951,118150,13337,355,103279,99,2244],"class_list":["post-205582","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nba","tag-3-and-d-asset","tag-golden-state-warriors","tag-jonathan-kuminga","tag-los-angeles-lakers","tag-memphis-grizzlies","tag-minnesota-timberwolves","tag-moody","tag-moses-moody","tag-nba","tag-nba-season","tag-sports","tag-stephen-curry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/205582","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=205582"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/205582\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/205583"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=205582"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=205582"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=205582"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
