Oladipo was cooking in that game too

I’ve only had a patellar dislocation, but that shit can get to be so painful. It was waves of extreme pain as my leg forcefully tensed up, with a lot of discomfort in between.

From reading descriptions, I can’t even imagine the pain that both Oladipo and Moody had to endure.

Damn I didn’t even realize that happened to him a second time. He had a similar injury when he played for us. Wasn’t really ever the same after that.

I remember that game. That was absolutely devastating to watch.

I remember this game.

He was crying.

My guess is that’s extremely unlikely. Body’s instinct is to protect its pain places so you’d not try to land on foot. Probably even if the positioning was unavoidable you’d land on your hip or something similar.

There’s a famous powerlifting coach - Louis Simmons - who did a 735lb squat, felt his knee cap slide, went and attempted 760lb, and snapped his knee cap in half.

So maybe that.

Moody’s young and only 23 so i hope he’s able to still come back and be the same player. his game isnt built much on speed and quickness anyway

I’ll be very surprised if it ends his career. He’s only 23.

He can still come back (Roberson, Oladipo, and Lin technically came back) but it might be kinda over.

Different sport but Nakobe Dean from the NFL tore his patellar tendon when he was on the Eagles and came back to play even better so there is hope he can recover

Wear and tear on the tendon over the years. Reaches its breaking point and can completely break apart. Come off the bone at the top of the shin or partially tear. Easiest one to fix is when it comes off the bone. Hopefully this is what happened to Moody. Otherwise if it completely broke it’s a real invasive surgery. Usually the tendon has to be held together with wires that are attached to a very tiny box that sits on top of the shin bone.

Yeah dislocated kneecaps usually slide right or left.

Moody’s knecap was sticking up vertically and was above his knee joint..

I hope this it it because that sounds better than the alternative.

One of the Warriors announcers, Kelenna Azubuike, was saying it might the exact injury he had where he tore his patellar tendon; he said his knee cap was somehow at his quad. I feel like it’s probably the same injury as well cause Moody’s knee just completely gave out when he went up for the dunk.

This is likely a full thickness patellar tendon tear. As others have mentioned, dislocated patellas slide right or left of patellar groove, and can be reduced (popped back in) 99% of the time. Seeing an obvious high rising patella indicates the patellar tendon that was anchoring the patella had snapped and that the quad tendon is bring the patella upwards.

Dislocated knee is one of the worst things it could possibly be. Means the ACL, LCL, and PCL are most likely torn and more than likely other damage.

Dislocated kneecap sucks but it’s manageable with treatment. Dislocated knee can get real fucked up.

Look at the Tank Dell injury - the knee dislocated, the ligaments were destroyed, only thing holding his upper leg to lower leg was skin. He’s finally recovering now and this was 2024.

Let’s hope Moses just has a kneecap issue.

Absolutely does not look like a dislocation. The fact that the patellar is high-riding indicates a fully torn patellar tendon

It looks so mundane, idk how that even happened?

that’s what It reminded me of too, damn man

My immediate thought. Greg when his patella broke apart.

Shit. That is an awful injury.

Yeah looks like the patella detached from his tibia and was pulled up over his knee fuck dude

I just wanted to say as a fan I truly appreciate how the fans in the stadium behaved. Some fan bases can be horrible to players on other teams even when seriously injured and to see almost every person standing quietly with the clapping for him made me so grateful that we aren’t really all as divided as some people want to make it seem.

Me too man!!!! Me too!!!!

He just came back man. Fucking sucks.

Is your team cursed or something like every year you guys have 3-5 injured players.

He has a veteran game

Yeah, I thought he was in his late 20s

It’s because his name is Moses. I always think he’s been in the league for at least 13 years.

Never heard of guys named drose and greg oden?

Yeah same experience here. Heard the commotion, looked back at the screen, then promptly had to cover my eyes. Legitimately shocking.

maybe. It’s hard to tell your level of Fatigue with the adrenaline pumping for an OT game.

Does it though? Who are you to say that?

Maybe, but it wouldn’t have been tonight.

My worst memory is in a pick up game. I had the “game winning layup” and thought the game was over. Other team said you gotta win by 2. I reluctantly agree. Next possession I go up for the real game winning layup, get fouled, land awkwardly and snap my ankle in half.

Patella tendon connects you kneecap to to your lower leg so it was probably only that tendon. Still terrible and hard to come back from Oladipo and Tyler Lockett are a couple recent ones that come to mind.

never seen either of those either. i particularly find knee stuff really disturbing, i got in a car crash when someone tboned me running a red light a decade ago and ill never forget the feeling of my knee cap needing to be popped back into place. and im sure thats extremely minor compared to this.

You can take it a step further and recall that one college guy that didn’t land correctly but his knee came out.

This is why when I see the warnings on titles of these threads i take them seriously.

When you say prayers, just say it right there.

God, please help Moody recover. Please be with him while he rehabs.

Is that worse than an ACL?
