Moses Moody’s 2022 California Classic debut was set to steal the show Sunday night at Chase Center for the Warriors’ summer league showdown with the Los Angeles Lakers. Behind closed doors, there was a development just as important taking place earlier in the day.

I was on the court for some of that, but everything I heard was that that went really well and he looked really good.” 2 hours ago – via Dalton Johnson @ NBC Sports Summer League, Uncategorized Summer League, James Wiseman, Moses Moody, Golden State Warriors, Los Angeles Lakers
