Here is the relevant part of the rule...
Rule 44....ART 2. A player, who catches the ball while moving or dribbling, may stop, and establish a pivot foot as follows:
a. If both feet are off the floor and the player lands
3. On one foot, the player may jump off that foot and simultaneously land on both.
b. If one foot is on the floor:
2. The player may jump off that foot and simultaneously land on both.
Note that the "while moving" part is attached to the act of catching.
