Steph Curry left stunned as teammate stretchered off after horrible freak injury

Golden State Warriors star Moses Moody had to be stretchered off in his team's win over the Dallas Mavericks after suffering a freak non-contact injury.

The Warriors claimed a 137-131 win at the American Airlines Center but they were dealt a devastating injury blow in overtime when Moody went down despite nobody being near him.

Moody, who had missed 10 games with a wrist injury, stole possession from Mavericks rookie Cooper Flagg and drove towards the rim and looked set to add to his tally of 23 points with just over one minute remaining.

But as he set off for the fast break dunk, Moody suffered an apparent knee injury and immediately clutched that part of his left leg as he lay in agony on the court.

Peacock's broadcast showed a gruesome close up of Moody's knee, which was incredibly graphic and looked like a dislocation of some sort.

Once play had paused, he was attended to be medical staff and taken away on a stretcher, with teammate Draymond Green consoling him.

Warriors talisman Steph Curry, currently out with an injury, watched on in complete and utter shock as he sat next to Brandin Podziemski near the bench.

Curry, the league's highest-paid player, had his hands on his head in disbelief and then another shot showed him looking crestfallen with his head buried.

Moody was taken for an MRI scan and though the Warriors were not able to provide an official update on his status, coach Steve Kerr expressed worry and admitted he was "hoping for the best".

"I saw his leg buckle and saw him go down in a heap in pain," Kerr said, speaking to reporters after the game.

"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."

Praising Moody's display, Kerr added: "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.

"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."
