Warriors’ Moses Moody earns leadership position in players’ union

Golden State Warriors guard Moses Moody has been elected to the National Basketball Players Association (NBPA) Board of Directors. The announcement was made in Las Vegas, confirming the fourth-year pro and starter for the Warriors will join Memphis Grizzlies forward Santi Aldama on the board. The NBPA is the union representing NBA players.

According to an NBPA press release, Moody and Aldama will join a panel responsible for deciding how to distribute philanthropic resources for both current and former NBA players. In a joint statement, Moody expressed their honor in joining the NBPA Foundation's Board of Directors, stating their goal is to support players and uplift communities. He emphasized that philanthropy and social responsibility are core to players and this role allows them to elevate their involvement in the Foundation's work.

Moody, who averaged 9.8 points per game and was Golden State's top perimeter defender last season, has a background in philanthropy. He founded the Motivate One Foundation and has also served as a coach at a Basketball Without Borders camp in South Africa.

Moody is currently recovering from thumb surgery performed on his dominant right hand in May. He is expected to be ready for the start of Warriors training camp in October.
