Golden State Warriors grapple with injury setbacks, trade talks and a Juneteenth guitar performance

The Golden State Warriors finished the 2025‑26 season with a 37‑45 record and missed the playoffs after injuries sidelined several key players, including Jimmy Butler, Moses Moody and others. The team’s front office has been linked to a potential trade that would send its No. 11 draft pick to the New Orleans Pelicans for forward Trey Murphy III, a move analysts warn could deplete depth and future assets.

Off the court, guard Moses Moody showcased a hidden talent by performing on guitar at a Juneteenth celebration in Golden Gate Park, an appearance highlighted by the Warriors’ social‑media accounts. Moody, who averaged 12.1 points per game before a torn patellar tendon ended his season, drew fan attention with his musical skill as the team looks to rebuild for the post‑Stephen Curry era.
