After starting to solidify himself as a key starter for the Golden State Warriors over the first two preseason games, fifth-year wing Moses Moody has suffered a frustrating injury blow just 10 days out from opening night against the Los Angeles Lakers.

According to ESPN's Anthony Slater on Saturday, Moody will miss Sunday's preseason game against the Lakers due to a calf issue. The 23-year-old will have an MRI to confirm the severity of the injury, but there's hope that it's not overly serious.

Moody had been the standout for Golden State in their preseason opener against the Lakers last Sunday, recording a team-high 19 points on 7-of-9 shooting from the floor and 5-of-7 from 3-point range in less than 15 minutes.
