Arkansas Razorbacks head coach John Calipari recently extended his congratulations to Golden State Warriors star Malik Monk on securing a $39 million contract extension. Calipari, who coached Monk during his college basketball career at Kentucky, expressed his joy on social media, celebrating the player’s success and dedication. He highlighted how proud he is of Monk’s achievements, sharing, “Happy for you and your family.” This heartfelt message underscores Calipari’s continued support for his former players as they reach new milestones in their professional careers
Moody played one season at Arkansas, where John Calipari now coaches. He averaged 16.8 points and 5.8 rebounds per game as a freshman leading the Razorbacks to the NCAA’s Elite Eight. After the season’s end, he declared for the NBA draft and was selected 14th overall by Golden State.
Although Moody became an NBA champion in 2022, he has not had consistent playing time in the league. He agreed to a $39 million, three-year deal with the franchise on Sunday.
