Warriors see encouraging progress as Moses Moody eyes September return

The Warriors entered the 2026-27 season without two key guards, as Jimmy Butler III recovers from an ACL tear and Moses Moody heals from a patellar tendon injury. Moody, who was sidelined in March, reportedly plans to resume on-court work in September. Butler III continues his rehabilitation with a target to return by Christmas. In their absence, the team will rely on Stephen Curry, Kristaps Porzingis, Draymond Green and rookie Yaxel Lendeborg. Both players are making steady progress toward the upcoming season.
