Fourth-year guard Moses Moody has agreed to a three-year, $39 million extension to his rookie contract with the Warriors, his agent Rich Paul of Klutch Sports told ESPN's Shams Charania on Sunday night.

Moody is entering the final year of his four-year rookie contract, which is expected to pay him just over $5.8 million this season.

The extension, which spans the entire 2027-28 NBA season, follows Anthony Slater of The Athletic reporting earlier this week that Moody and the Warriors were discussing a mid-exempt deal, worth about $12,859 million for the 2024-25 season and will increase to $13.501 million next season.

The deadline for Moody and fellow fourth-year pro Jonathan Kuminga to sign rookie extensions is Monday.

Moody was in and out of the Warriors' rotation for the first three seasons, but the 22-year-old Arkansas native had a strong training camp and carried that over into the preseason, earning him praise from coach Steve Kerr.

Now that a new extension is in effect, Moody's role will likely be strengthened when the Warriors open the new season against the Trail Blazers on Wednesday in Portland.

While Kerr will have to make some difficult rotation decisions in the coming days, it is clear that Moody will have a prominent role going forward.

In 66 games last season, Moody averaged 8.1 points and 3.0 rebounds in 17.5 minutes, all career highs. He shot 46.2 percent from the field and 36.0 percent from 3-point range.

Moody showed what he's capable of in an impressive preseason, averaging 15.5 points on 45.6 percent shooting and 39.4 percent from 3-point range in six games.

Moody has the contract and security he was looking for. Now his goal will be to contribute to a successful season for the Warriors as they hope to return to the NBA playoffs.
