Warriors Face Start-of-Season Mystery: Which Starters Will Step Up with Moses Moody Out?
The Warriors are heading into their season opener against the Lakers with a noticeable void as Moses Moody remains sidelined, still nursing that pesky calf strain. Coach Steve Kerr made it official Sunday, and honestly, it throws a bit of a curveball into what was shaping up to be a somewhat settled starting lineup. Moody, who’s been benched from scrimmaging since missing those last three preseason games, has been sticking to solo drills and gym work, but that’s just not the same as hitting full-court action. Meanwhile, Jimmy Butler and Jonathan Kuminga are edging closer to tip-off fitness, though they’re still tagged as questionable – a lineup shakeup Kerr hasn’t quite pinned down just yet. With Moody’s knack for shifting between forward and shooting guard roles and his sharp shooting, his absence leaves some real “fill-the-gap” puzzles on the table. The clock’s ticking, decisions are in the air, and as Kerr quips, the names starting next to Curry and Green still hang in the balance. The chess game begins—and trust me—it’s a fascinating one to watch unfold.
