In this story:


In an official announcement on Monday afternoon, the Golden State Warriors shared injury updates on Moses Moody and Gary Payton II.

On Moody, the Warriors shared the following:

"Warriors guard Moses Moody, who suffered a grade 1 strain of his left calf on January 10 vs. New Orleans and has missed the last three (3) games, was recently re-evaluated. The reevaluation indicated that Moody is making good progress. He has been cleared to begin light individual on-court workouts and will be re-evaluated again in one (1) week."

On Payton, the Warriors shared the following:

"Warriors guard Gary Payton II, who suffered a grade 2 strain of his left hamstring on January 2 vs. Orlando and has missed the last seven (7) games, was recently re-evaluated. The reevaluation indicated that Payton is making good progress. He has been cleared to begin light individual on-court workouts and will be re-evaluated again in two (2) weeks."

While the Warriors need much more help than these two players can provide, getting Moody and Payton back would help stabilize Golden State's rotation a bit, especially with Chris Paul sidelined. While Moody has been in and out of the rotation, there could be some minutes available with Paul out. As for Payton, he has been a solid rotation piece for the Warriors each time ehe has been healthy.
