In the 2024 offseason, the Warriors signed a three-year contract extension with Moses Moody worth $45 million. The 2025-26 season is the first year Moody is signed. Head coach Steve Kerr said Moody will be re-evaluated within a week. The Golden State Warriors were cautious about Moody’s injury a week before the start of the regular season.
