5 months agoGolden 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.

5 months agoGolden 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.

6 months agoGolden 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.

9 months agoThe 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.
