Golden State Warriors forward Moses Moody was stretchered off the court in Monday’s game against the Dallas Mavericks after suffering a scary non-contact knee injury.
Moody had an open court on a fastbreak after stealing the ball with less than 90 seconds to play in overtime, but his left knee appeared to buckle as he planted his feet to jump.

He immediately fell to the floor in pain with a knee injury that appeared to be severe. The video of the injury is below, although it may be disturbing to some viewers.
Play was paused shortly after and medical staff tended to Moody under the basket. He was eventually led off the floor on a stretcher and acknowledged the crowd on his way out.
Moody had just returned from a sprained right wrist that sidelined him for 10 games and will now miss further time following this new injury.
The loss of Moody is another brutal blow to an already depleted Warriors team. With Stephen Curry sidelined with his own knee issues and Jimmy Butler recovering from a torn ACL, Golden State’s playoff outlook is now even more grim.
