Kevon Looney News, Rumors, Updates - New Orleans Pelicans

Rare appearance Wednesday Looney had four points (2-2 FG) and seven rebounds across 10 minutes during Wednesday's 112-104 loss to Detroit.

Impact Looney moved back into the rotation, suiting up for the first time in the past seven games. The purpose of signing Looney remains somewhat of a mystery, with his only real value at this point coming in the locker room. He has appeared only eight times in the past two months, averaging 3.0 points and 6.4 rebounds in 14.8 minutes per contest.

Team-high 10 rebounds off bench Looney recorded two points (1-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt), 10 rebounds and three assists across 18 minutes during Wednesday's 134-118 loss to the Bulls.

Impact Rookie first-rounder Derik Queen is effectively running away with the top spot at center for the Pelicans, but that hasn't prevented Looney from getting back into the rotation as a third-string big man in the past two outings. Even so, Looney even remains behind Yves Missi, so fantasy managers may want to search elsewhere for a consistent streamer.

Invisible again in loss Looney recorded zero points (0-1 FG), three rebounds and one assist across 12 minutes during Tuesday's 149-142 overtime loss to the Timberwolves.

Impact Looney continues to do basically nothing, typically logging minutes only when other players are injured. He should be viewed as the third-string center, a fact that is clearly evident when analyzing his season stats. In 12 appearances, he has averaged 2.7 points and 3.9 rebounds in 12.9 minutes per game.

Does not play Sunday Looney was a healthy scratch for Sunday's game against the Warriors.

Impact After starting the last six games, Looney was relegated to the bench in favor of rookie Derik Queen, and ended up not appearing in the game at all. It remains to be seen whether Looney's role has completely disappeared or if the decision to not be played was matchup based, but with Zion Williamson (hamstring) also returning to the mix soon, Looney may not see the court consistently moving forward.

Moves to second unit Looney will come off the bench for Sunday's game against the Warriors.

Impact The Pelicans have a new head coach and the team will already make some tweaks with rookie Derik Queen getting the starting nod. It remains to be seen if Looney or Yves Missi will soak up the backup center minutes Sunday, and moving forward, for that matter.

Sees 16 minutes as starter Looney produced two points (1-4 FG), six rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal in 16 minutes during Monday's 121-98 loss to the Suns.

Impact Yves Missi was cleared to return from a three-game absence after battling an illness, but oddly enough, he didn't see the floor. Despite his newfound role, Looney has been unable to make a big impact in fantasy thus far. Through five appearances, he's averaging 3.6 points, 5.0 rebounds and 1.6 assists in 15.9 minutes per contest.
