The Golden State Warriors can't catch a break this season when it comes to the injury bug.

After receiving news that Stephen Curry has made "good progress," the Warriors seemingly lose another player to injury.

Moses Moody went down with a gruesome, apparent knee injury during the Warriors' 137-131 overtime win against the Dallas Mavericks.

Moody got a clean steal, poking the ball away from Mavericks rookie Cooper Flagg with 1:15 remaining in the overtime period.

Moody was all alone on a fast break when he exploded to the rim for a dunk. It appeared his knee gave out on him, which caused him to land awkwardly. He never attempted the shot.

Moody stayed down and was carried off of the court on a stretcher. He received a MRI at American Airlines Center in Dallas, Warriors head coach Steve Kerr told reporters after the game.

"I saw his leg buckle and saw him go down in a heap in pain," Kerr said. "We don't know what it is, but it sure looked bad, and it's just hoping for the best. You know, whatever the best case scenario is that's what we're all hoping for. But it looked bad."

Moody missed the Warriors' previous 10 games with a sprained right wrist. He ended the game against the Mavericks with 23 points on 8-of-20 shooting, including four made 3s. He also added three steals and two blocks.

"He was brilliant, by the way, played so well defensively, changed the game for us, or, you know, with his ball pressure, and knocked down big shots," Kerr said. "So great to finally have him back, you know, after he missed whatever it was eight or 10 games and then for that to happen, like I said, we're just praying that it's not too serious, but it sure looked serious."
