Golden State Warriors guard Moses Moody’s season is over after he tore the patellar tendon in his left knee on a noncontact play against the Dallas Mavericks, ESPN reported on Tuesday.

Moody, 23, was injured while attempting a dunk in the Warriors’ 137-131 road victory on Monday night.

Golden State led 136-131 when Moody stole the ball from Cooper Flagg and headed for a clinching dunk with 1:09 to go in overtime. However, Moody had his left knee crumble beneath him as he attempted to elevate for the hoop, with the shot not reaching the rim. Moody had to be stretchered off the floor after the team’s medical staff attended to his left knee.

The Warriors said afterward that Moody, who had missed the previous 10 games with a sprained right wrist, would have an MRI on Tuesday. He finished with 23 points, three rebounds, three assists, three steals and two blocks in 34 minutes.

Moody this season averaged career bests of 12.1 points, 3.3 rebounds, 1.6 assists, 1.0 steals, 0.6 blocks and 25.7 minutes in 60 games (49 starts).

The Warriors (34-38) have 10 games remaining in the regular season. Through Monday, they are 10th in the Western Conference and have the final berth in the play-in tournament.

Golden State selected Moody in the first round (14th overall) in the 2021 NBA Draft.

For his career, Moody averages 8.0 points, 2.4 rebounds, 1.0 assists and 18.3 minutes in 315 regular-season games (106 starts) for the Warriors since 2021. He also has started two of 37 postseason games, including playing 13 games as a rookie in a reserve role in Golden State’s run to the 2022 NBA championship.

He signed a three-year, $39 million contract extension before the start of this season.

Report: Serena Williams wants to make comeback at Queen's Club

Serena Williams and Alexis Ohanian of Los Angeles Golf Club watch their team against Jupiter Links GC during the TGL finals at SoFi Center on March 23, 2026, in Palm Beach Gardens, FloridaSerena Williams and Alexis Ohanian of Los Angeles Golf Club watch their team against Jupiter Links GC during the TGL finals at SoFi Center on March 23, 2026, in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida

Serena Williams reportedly is planning a return to professional tennis.

The Telegraph reported Thursday that Williams, 44, plans to request a wild card to play doubles with Victoria Mboko, 19, of Canada in the Queen’s Club Championships next month in London. The tournament, which begins on June 8, serves as a grass-court tune-up for Wimbledon.

Williams had great success on the courts at Wimbledon, where she won seven singles titles. She also teamed with her sister, Venus Williams, for six doubles championships in London.

Serena Williams last played on the WTA Tour in a loss to Ajla Tomljanovic in the third round of the 2022 U.S. Open.

In her time away from tennis, Williams gave birth to her second daughter in August 2023.

She reportedly re-entered the registered testing pool for the International Tennis Integrity Agency in December. She has completed the mandatory six-month period in that pool.

The 23-time Grand Slam champion initially dismissed comeback rumors in December before slightly changing her tune during an appearance on the “Today” show in late January.

“I’m just having fun and enjoying my life right now,” Williams said, when asked on the show about a potential comeback. “That’s not a yes or no. I don’t know. I’m just gonna see what happens.”

The Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference is shedding part of its name while trying to maintain tradition.

The conference will rebrand as The Metro Conference effective July 1, as an element of strategic planning launched three years ago.

“The goal of this project was to establish a bold and clear identity that eliminated longstanding confusion surrounding the Conference’s name,” said Travis Tellitocci, MAAC commissioner, in a news release. “Throughout this process, we wanted to create a brand that better positions the Conference for the future while still honoring the tradition and foundation that have defined this league for the past 45 years. We are excited about this next chapter and the future of the Metro Conference.”

Confusion existed with the similar-sounding Mid-American Conference — the Cleveland-based MAC. The length of the full name of the conference also “created inconsistencies in how the brand was referenced and frequently led to the conference being referred to incorrectly,” the new Metro Conference said in its release.

The rebranding includes a new red-and-blue logo with a bold type.

The MAAC was founded in 1980 and has 13 member schools, largely based in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut: Canisius, Fairfield, Iona, Marist, Merrimack, Mount St. Mary’s, Niagara, Quinnipiac, Rider, Sacred Heart, Saint Peter’s and Siena.

Listed at 6-foot-8, Peat averaged 14.1 points, 5.6 rebounds and 2.6 assists while helping to lead the Wildcats to the Big 12 regular-season and conference titles.

The Arizona native raised his game during the NCAA Tournament, averaging 17.2 points and 7.6 boards in five games as the Wildcats advanced to the Final Four before falling to Michigan.
