Since being drafted with the No. 30 overall pick in 2015, Kevon Looney has been an integral cog for Golden State. He has won three NBA championships with them, but his run may end soon, according to Tim Kawakami of the Warriors Plus Minus podcast.
“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, and there will be another spot for him in this league,” Kawakami said.

“I’ve been here my whole career. I don’t know nothing else,” Looney said. “You always want to finish what you started and be somewhere for your whole career, but I’ve been in this business long enough to know that’s not realistic. I’m preparing myself for whatever.”
“The ball isn’t in my court. I don’t have full control over my destiny, so I kind of have to play the waiting game, control what I can control,” he added.
After a career year in 2022-23, Kevon Looney saw his production and minutes dip this season, only averaging 4.5 points, 5.7 rebounds, and 1.8 assists per game in 74 regular-season games (36 starts).
