Moses Moody has been upgraded to questionable for the Warriors‘ game against the Mavericks, per ESPN’s Anthony Slater (Twitter link).
Moody has been out with a wrist sprain for the last 10 games, and his return should help boost the injury-depleted Golden State roster.
Slater notes (via Twitter) that Kristaps Porzingis has also been upgraded to probable for the game after missing the last game with a back injury. Porzingis has played just seven games since being acquired by the Warriors, averaging 14.9 points and 3.9 rebounds in 20.3 minutes per game with his new team.
The Warriors are currently in firm command of the 10 seed in the Western Conference, and are 1.5 games out of ninth.
