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.

Golden State Warriors center Kevon Looney will move to the second unit for Thursday's game against the Boston Celtics. This is an odd move considering Boston is starting both Al Horford and Robert Williams III. Head coach Steve Kerr has decided to go small-ball with Jordan Poole replacing Looney in the starting five. Poole should see his fantasy value increase with a move to the starting unit. As for Looney, his fantasy value will take a hit, but he's still a solid option for rebounding.

Center Kevon Looney is back with the Golden State Warriors on a three-year contract, which is set to pay him $25.5 million, per Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN. Looney emerged as a full-time starter last season, appearing in all 82 regular-season contests. He averaged six points and a career-high 7.3 rebounds per outing, seeing his minutes rise to 21.1 per game. The 26-year-old has seen his role rise incrementally over the past seven years with Golden State, with his emergence complicating James Wiseman's fantasy outlook in the Warriors' frontcourt. While Looney's value primarily derives from his relentless activity, he could see value in Western Conference-only formats or on the DFS slate against teams that scuffle on the glass.

Upcoming unrestricted free agent center Kevon Looney has already begun to receive attention, with the Charlotte and Sacramento emerging as potential landing spots. The veteran played every game in 2021-22, starting 80 of them. Overall, he was a reliable presence for the Warriors and filled in admirably for James Wiseman (knee), who missed the entire year. Yet, the 26-year-old thrived throughout the postseason by averaging 7.6 boards, 5.8 points, and 2.2 assists. It will be difficult for the Dubs to scrounge up the cash to keep him, especially with the franchise hoping to secure Andrew Wiggins, Jordan Poole, and others moving ahead. As a result, there's a good chance Looney will suit up elsewhere next season and could be an even sturdier option for category managers looking for rebounds.

Golden State Warriors center Kevon Looney has been tremendous over the last few games. In fact, he has posted three double-doubles in his last four games. He finished with 10 points and 18 rebounds in Thursday's Game 5 victory over the Dallas Mavericks. The play of Looney has been huge for the Warriors during this series. We'll see if he can keep it going during the NBA Finals.

Golden State Warriors center Kevon Looney put together an outstanding performance on Friday against the Dallas Mavericks. He set both career highs for points in the regular season and postseason. Looney finished with 21 points, 12 rebounds, and two assists in 32 minutes. He was getting MVP chants from the crowd, which is awesome. Looney continues to be one of the best storylines of the postseason.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — All along, Stephen Curry just wanted to play for something at the end after everybody counted out his Golden State Warriors from the beginning. He could only be proud when this group fell just short of the goal, appreciating how sick and saddened his teammates felt when they didn't get it done. The Warriors were eliminated from playoff contention with a 117-112 overtime loss to Memphis on Friday night in the second play-in game. That after losing a 103-100 heartbreaker to LeBron James and the Lakers two days earlier in Los Angeles. “I would love a playoff experience and seven-game series and see how we respond to that challenge. We have two — I call it three playoff games, the last game of the season and these last two play-in situations,” Curry said. "But it’s not how it’s drawn up in terms of the format, and now we have three months to rejuvenate, retool, come back next season, whatever that means. “These last three games, including the homestand, I call it nine games,...

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Golden State Warriors rookie James Wiseman will be sidelined more than a week with a sprained left wrist that the 7-foot center injured against Detroit on Saturday. “It’s a concern any time you lose anybody for any stretch of time, especially a guy that is in the rotation, but we'll figure it out,” guard Stephen Curry said. “Injuries are obviously part of every season, no matter when they come. You've just got to be able to adjust.” Wiseman landed on his wrist when he was bumped coming down from a dunk off an alley-oop pass by Draymond Green with 6:21 remaining in the third quarter of the 118-91 rout of the Pistons but kept playing. Wiseman had an MRI exam on Sunday, coach Steve Kerr said. “It’s a bummer but at least it’s not anything worse and he should be back in 10 days or so,” Kerr said. The big man, who came off the bench the past four games as Kerr switched up his starting lineup, is wearing a brace and scheduled to be re-evaluated in a week to 10 days. Veteran... [More]
