New Orleans Pelicans center Kevon Looney (knee) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. The former Warrior suffered a proximal tibiofibular ligament sprain during the preseason and hasn't played in any of the Pels' five games to begin the year. While there's still a chance he won't be out there on Sunday versus the champs, the questionable tag is at least a step in a positive direction. Looney signed a two-year, $16 million deal with New Orleans in the offseason after spending a decade in Golden State. In 599 regular-season contests, he averaged 5.0 points and 5.7 rebounds. With that said, it's unknown how much action Looney will see if he receives the green light to play. However, even if he's ready for a full workload, Yves Missi, averaging 8.9 points, 6.8 boards, and 1.0 blocks this season, should continue handling the most minutes at the five.

New Orleans Pelicans centerKevon Looney(knee) has been ruled out for Friday's matchup with the Los Angeles Clippers due to a sprained left knee. Looney is likely close to making his season debut after he was initially listed as doubtful on Thursday for this evening's contest. The three-time NBA champion injured his left knee during the preseason. Once the 29-year-old is back in action, he is expected to serve as a backup to starting centerYves Missi, which means he will likely make a minimal impact on fantasy basketball this campaign. Looney also faces competition for playing time from veteran center DeAndre Jordan, who recently signed a one-year deal with the Pelicans.

New Orleans Pelicans center Kevon Looney (knee) is considered doubtful for Friday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. The three-time NBA champion injured his left knee during the preseason and hasn't yet played in the regular season. Once he returns, Looney is expected to serve as a backup to starting center Yves Missi, which means he likely won't have an impact in fantasy basketball. He also faces competition for playing time from DeAndre Jordan, who recently signed a one-year deal with New Orleans.

New Orleans Pelicans centerKevon Looney (knee) won't be available to suit up for the team's season opener against the Memphis Grizzlies on Wednesday. Looney has been out of action due to a proximal tibiofibular ligament sprain in his left knee and could be out for two more weeks. The 29-year-old had been working through knee pain, and he will likely have to wait until November to make his debut with his new team. Looney agreed to a two-year, $16 million deal with the Pelicans in June after 10 seasons with the Warriors. While he is sidelined, rookie big manDerik Queencould see an expanded role backing up projected starting center,Yves Missi.

According to NBA reporter Chris Haynes, New Orleans center Kevon Looney could be out of action for up to three weeks after suffering a proximal tibiofibular ligament sprain in his left knee. The 29-year-old had been working through knee pain and will now need time to recover. He will have to wait until November to make his debut with his new team. Looney agreed to a two-year, $16 million deal with the Pelicans in June after 10 seasons with the Warriors. While he is sidelined, rookie big man Derik Queen could see an expanded role backing up projected starting center, Yves Missi.

The New Orleans Pelicans signed free-agent center Kevon Looney on Monday. According to Shams Charania, Looney agreed to a two-year, $16 million deal with the Pelicans. Looney has spent each of the last 10 years with the Golden State Warriors. Last season, Looney averaged 4.5 points, 6.1 rebounds, and 1.6 assists in 15.0 minutes per game across 76 contests. Looney is an experienced player who won three championships during his time in Golden State. He doesn't offer a ton of upside outside of his elite rebounding skills. He figures to play a role off the bench, which probably won't result in a ton of fantasy value. He'll probably end up being more of a streaming option than an everyday contributor in fantasy leagues.

Golden State Warriors forward/center Kevon Looney (illness) appears to be on track to return to action on Wednesday against Atlanta. He has been listed as probable on the injury report ahead of the game. Looney missed Monday's matchup against the Clippers due to an illness. The veteran has been limited to a backup role behind Trayce Jackson-Davis, but Looney remains a major force on the glass. Despite seeing only 15.7 minutes of action per game, he's averaging a team-high 8.4 rebounds while scoring 5.8 points. Atlanta's rebounding rate is in the league's bottom tier, meaning the Warriors' big men should have a good outing.

Golden State Warriors center Kevon Looney (illness) has been ruled out ahead of Monday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. The big man was questionable coming into this one, but Looney will officially sit out due to an illness. His absence won't have a huge impact on the rotation, but it should mean we see slight changes. Trayce Jackson-Davis should see more playing time in the rotation and could be a possible streaming option with more minutes. Draymond Green could also see more time at the center spot, but Jackson-Davis gains the most value from the loss of Looney.

Golden State Warriors center Kevon Looney (illness) is listed as questionable ahead of Monday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. The big man hasn't been a huge part of the rotation as he's only averaging 15 minutes per game. However, Looney is averaging 8.4 rebounds per game, so his rebounding would be hard to replace if he sits out. Trayce Jackson-Davis figures to see more playing time if Looney is unable to go. Jackson-Davis hasn't been a great fantasy option, but would certainly have more streaming appeal if he gets additional playing time.

Golden State Warriors guard Brandin Podziemski and center Kevon Looney will move into the starting five ahead of Wednesday's preseason matchup against the Sacramento Kings. Head coach Steve Kerr is experimenting with his lineups which is never a bad idea during the preseason. He'll replace De'Anthony Melton and Trayce Jackson-Davis with Podziemski and Looney on Wednesday. It doesn't seem that Kerr has decided on a starting unit yet. However, Stephen Curry and Draymond Green are locks and Jonathan Kuminga seems to have earned his spot as well. Podziemski posted promising numbers last season and figures to have a significant role whether it's starting or off the bench. The 21-year-old averaged 9.2 points, 5.8 rebounds, and 3.7 assists last season.

The Golden State Warriors guaranteed the 2024-25 salary of forward/center Kevon Looney. There was chatter he could be cut. However, replacing him with someone else wouldn't have made much sense from a financial standpoint. The 28-year-old has been in Golden State since entering the league in 2015. But his production dropped significantly last season after averaging 7.0 points and 9.3 rebounds during the 2022-23 campaign. With that in mind, Looney could see some starts here and there in 2024-25. Yet, he figures to be buried on the depth chart behind Trayce Jackson-Davis, Draymond Green, and Jonathan Kuminga, meaning it will be difficult for him to do anything meaningful for fantasy managers.

Golden State Warriors center Kevon Looney could become a free agent this summer. "I think the likeliest situation is that he's cut, and he makes $3 million from them, and he's off looking for another spot," said Tim Kawakami of The Athletic on a recent episode of the Warriors Plus Minus podcast. Looney has a $8 million deal in place for next season, but only $3 million of it is guaranteed. The salary will be fully guaranteed on June 24. Looney had a career year in 2022-23, but the emergence of Trayce Jackson-Davis has made him surplus to requirements in San Francisco. However, as an experienced veteran who is an outstanding rebounder, Looney should have no problems finding a new team.

Golden State Warriors center Kevon Looney will shift into the starting five ahead of Wednesday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. Head coach Steve Kerr has decided to shake up his lineup and start Looney after his decent outing during their last game. It's uncertain if this is a matchup move or if Looney will remain with the starting unit. He'll replace Trayce Jackson-Davis who heads to the bench, but still remains a better streaming choice than Looney.

Golden State Warriors center Kevon Looney will move into the starting five ahead of Saturday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Looney moves back into the starting unit after posting a double-double during Thursday's game against OKC. The Warriors will ride the hot hand and have Looney start at least this game. That means, Dario Saric will head back to the bench. It's worth noting that Looney hasn't been quite as productive whenever he's in the starting five. Fantasy managers probably shouldn't expect another double-double from him on Saturday.

Golden State Warriors center Kevon Looney (illness) was sent home early during Wednesday's shootaround because he was feeling under the weather. It was originally noted that Looney was sitting out of Wednesday's game for rest purposes, but that doesn't appear to be the case. Instead, Looney is dealing with illness, but it looks to be a minor issue. That being said, Looney should be fine in time for the regular season. There's a good chance that Looney misses Friday's preseason finale as the team wants to make sure he's 100 percent healthy heading into the regular season.

Golden State Warriors center Kevon Looney will come off the bench for Thursday's Game 2 against the Los Angeles Lakers. The Warriors have decided to start JaMychal Green alongside Draymond Green, Steph Curry, Klay Thompson and Andrew Wiggins on Thursday. Looney has been fantastic on the boards recently, but the Warriors will play small-ball here. Green has averaged 14 minutes per game during the regular season. It's unlikely that he has a huge role during Thursday's game.

Golden State Warriors center Kevon Looney continued to demonstrate the art of rebounding in Game 1 against the Lakers on Tuesday, completing a 117-112 loss with 23 boards. In his last four outings, Looney has now produced three games with at least 20 rebounds, and he has four of them in total for the 2023 playoffs. The 27-year-old did all the work in just 29 minutes on Tuesday, wrapping up a double-double with 10 points and adding five assists. Looney recorded just 16 rebounds through the first two playoff games this year, but he must have added something special to his menu after that because he's been getting 18.3 boards per game since then.

Golden State Warriors center Kevon Looney was masterful on the glass in Game 7's win over the Sacramento Kings on Sunday. Looney had a game-high 21 rebounds including 10 offensive boards. Looney also added in 11 points and four assists in just 30 minutes. Looney is shaping up to be one of the best bargains made by the Warriors in recent years and has been a huge part of their series win. Looney will have a tough match up against Anthony Davis and the Los Angeles Lakers.

Golden State Warriors center Kevon Looney (back) has been upgraded to probable for Monday's game against the Houston Rockets. The big man was considered questionable on Sunday due to lower back soreness. However, it appears Looney is feeling better, but the team will probably wait until closer to tip-off before making a final decision. Looney is in a good spot to produce with Alperen Sengun (illness) sidelined for Houston. Fantasy managers should check back before tip-off for more information.

Golden State Warriors center Kevon Looney (back) is experiencing lower back soreness and has been listed as questionable for their Monday night game against the Houston Rockets. The 27-year-old has been in and out of the starting lineup but has started in the last five consecutive games. He hasn't been listed as questionable often, and when he does, he plays about two-thirds of the time. Seeing as this injury report listing is only back soreness, he could end up playing, but if he doesn't, then Jonathan Kuminga would serve as a solid streaming option.
