The Golden State Warriors have had a disastrous offseason thus far, swinging and missing on LeBron James in free agency and looking poised to retain the exact same roster that won 37 games last year. Of course, the Warriors still employ one Stephen Curry, and are hoping that the former MVP will be able to stay somewhat healthy this season.
Recently, Warriors guard Moses Moody revealed that Curry had joined him for a youth event in his native Arkansas, and spoke on what that meant to him as a teammate.
“That’s a crazy concept to me. I met Steph Curry five years ago, and now he’s here in Arkansas. … You can say you like somebody. You can say you rock with somebody. But to actually come and do something like this, it really just makes me feel good about myself, for one, and it’s cool to know he thinks so highly of me,” said Moody, per Marcus Thompson II of The Athletic.
Curry also had a glowing review of Moody's character from their time as teammates.
“Just his curiosity for life. The questions he has. Just the spirit he has. And that was from Day 1. … And you kind of understand it means so much to him to be able to have this weekend and this presence here,” said Curry.
Moody is currently rehabbing from a devastating knee injury suffered toward the end of last season that figures to sideline him for most, if not all, of the upcoming season. Joining Moody on the bench at the start of the year will be Jimmy Butler, who tore his ACL midway through last season.
The Warriors will certainly hope that Curry is able to stay on the floor after he too dealt with injuries throughout last season.
