Moore joined the Nets’ summer league squad as an undrafted free agent. He averaged 10.4 points, 4.9 rebounds and 1.6 steals as an athletic defensive disruptor to help Houston to the Elite Eight in March. He played four seasons for Cal State Bakersfield before that — going 634 days between games due to that injury. Moore suffered that season-ending injury on Feb. 11, 2017. He spent 2017-18 rehabbing as a redshirt, with a long, grueling grind, surgery after surgery until he began to doubt. “[My lowest point] was probably my last surgery, because I thought if it didn’t work, I just wouldn’t hoop [any] more. I’ll just get my degree, keep my promise to my grandmother which is getting my degree, and figuring things out life-wise without basketball,” Moore said. “I was a Children and Family Studies major. If anything, if this doesn’t work [I’ll] be a social worker or counselor, something good.”
