DECEMBER 4, 2024 • Associated Press

Making first start of season Looney is in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Nuggets, John Dickinson of 95.7 The Game San Francisco reports.

Impact Head coach Steve Kerr will tweak the lineup for this matchup against Nikola Jokic and the Nuggets, and Looney will add some much-needed physicality to the frontcourt, especially since Draymond Green (calf) won't play. Looney is averaging 5.6 points and 6.6 rebounds per game in his last five appearances off the bench.

Will play Wednesday Looney (illness) is available for Wednesday's game against the Hawks.

Impact Looney was initially listed as probable for this contest, and he should deliver solid frontcourt minutes off the bench in his return from a one-game absence. Looney is averaging 6.2 points, 8.7 rebounds and 1.7 assists per game since the beginning of November across six outings off the bench.

Probable for Wednesday Looney (illness) is listed as probable ahead of Wednesday's game against the Hawks.

Impact Looney could miss his second consecutive game Wednesday, though the probable tag suggests he is nearing a return to game action. The 28-year-old has averaged 6.0 points, 9.0 rebounds and 1.6 assists across 15.4 minutes per game over his last five outings.

Downgraded to out Looney (illness) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Clippers.

Impact Looney will be in street clothes for the first time this season -- his only other absence was a healthy DNP. In the veteran's absence, Trayce Jackson-Davis may play more minutes, but Draymond Green, Jonathan Kuminga and Kyle Anderson are also candidates for increased roles because the Warriors lack a true center behind Jackson-Davis and Looney.

Dealing with illness Looney is questionable for Monday's game against the Clippers due to an illness.

Impact Looney has played at least 12 minutes in all but one of his 11 appearances so far this season. If he's sidelined, Trayce-Jackson Davis and Kyle Anderson would be candidates for more minutes.

Pulls down 10 rebounds Looney recorded four points (2-6 FG), 10 rebounds and two assists across 18 minutes during Monday's 125-112 victory over the Wizards.

Impact This was Looney's third game of the campaign with double-digit rebounds. He's essentially a rebounds specialist in fantasy circles these days, posting averages of 5.4 points, 8.1 rebounds, 1.9 assists and 1.0 steals in 16.4 minutes through six games.

Double-doubles off bench Looney amassed 10 points (4-9 FG, 2-4 FT), 11 rebounds, three assists and three steals over 20 minutes during Sunday's 112-104 loss to the Clippers.

Impact Looney delivered a strong showing off the bench, and he's now scored at least nine points while grabbing double-digit boards in back-to-back contests. Don't be surprised if he starts to see more minutes in the coming weeks, and he could even steal the starting role off Trayce Jackson-Davis if he continues to outplay him in the coming games.

Reserve role Friday Looney will come off the bench in Friday's exhibiton contest versus the Kings, Anthony Slater of The Athletic reports.

Impact Trayce Jackson-Davis and Looney have started at center in each of the Warriors first two preseason games, but Kyle Anderson will get the nod Friday. Golden State continues to play around with its lineup as it looks to figure out its starting lineup for the regular-season. Looney will continue competing for a bigger role in the rotation as the preseason carries on.

Starting nod Wednesday Looney is in the starting lineup for Wednesday's preseason game against Sacramento, Anthony Slater of The Athletic reports.

Impact Looney joins the first unit while Trayce Jackson-Davis shifts to the bench Wednesday. Looney is joined by Jonathan Kuminga and Draymond Green in the Warriors' frontcourt Wednesday.

Contract guaranteed by GS The Warriors guaranteed Looney's $8 million contract for 2024-25 on Monday, Kendra Andrews of ESPN.com reports.

Impact There were rumors that Looney would be cut to create cap space this offseason after the veteran saw a reduced role following the emergence of Trayce Jackson-Davis. With Dario Saric set to hit unrestricted free agency at the end of June, Looney is currently an expensive backup behind Jackson-Davis, who figures to be an Opening Night starter in Year 2.

Sniffs double-double in win Looney finished with nine points (4-6 FG, 1-2 FT), 11 rebounds, four blocks and two steals over 21 minutes during Thursday's 100-92 win over Portland.

Impact Looney's usage has plummeted over the past few months and he hasn't started since Jan. 25. The nine-year pro moved up the depth chart Thursday due to Draymond Green's (knee) absence, and although he will probably make the 15-man roster for the playoffs. consistent usage for the former first-unit center isn't guaranteed. Trayce Jackson-Davis has been the preferred second-unit frontcourt option recently, and the pecking order isn't expected to change unless coach Steve Kerr decides that a particular matchup favors Looney's skill set

APRIL 12, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Back in rotation Tuesday Looney amassed seven points (3-5 FG, 1-2 FT), six rebounds and one assist in 19 minutes during Tuesday's 113-92 win over the Heat.

Impact Looney logged 19 minutes in the win, the most he has played in over two months. Having sat out seven of the previous nine games, it's clear the Warriors are no longer reliant on Looney's defensive presence. Given he was not a must-roster player when starting, there is no reason to think he will have any value now that his role has been significantly reduced.

MARCH 27, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Decreased bench role Looney posted four points (2-2 FG), two rebounds and one assist in 10 minutes in the Warriors' 110-99 win against the Knicks on Thursday.

Impact Looney has seen an immense decrease in playing time since being moved to the bench Jan. 27. Since then, the 28-year-old has averaged just 2.4 points and 3.8 rebounds in 10.0 minutes per game. Expect Looney to continue playing a small role off the bench behind Draymond Green and Dario Saric, especially if Trayce Jackson-Davis continues to carve out minutes as well.

MARCH 1, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Logs no shots, pulls down 10 boards Looney closed Saturday's 141-134 overtime loss to the Hawks with 10 rebounds and one assist over 15 minutes.

Impact Looney was not tasked with an enlarged role and made no plays offensively Saturday, even while Dario Saric (illness) was unavailable and Andrew Wiggins (ankle) exited early. Looney's passiveness on offense combined with his deteriorating ability to defend in space is leading to a minor bench role. Clint Capela and Onyeka Okongwu combined for 31 rebounds, which is a matchup that Looney has combated historically -- symbolizing how his inability to be a viable rotation player a limiting factor for Golden State moving forward.
