Looney registered three rebounds and one assist in six minutes during Wednesday's 121-110 loss to the Timberwolves in Game 5 of the Western Conference Semifinals.
The Warriors didn't exactly rely on their centers much Wednesday -- Trayce Jackson-Davis started and played seven minutes, while Quinten Post played 10 minutes off the bench. Looney was used sparingly for most of the regular season, as he averaged 15.0 minutes in 76 appearances with 4.5 points, 6.1 rebounds, 1.6 assists, 0.5 blocks and 0.6 steals on 51.4 percent shooting from the field. Looney, who will turn 30 next season, is set to hit unrestricted free agency.

Rotowire
Looney contributed eight points (3-5 FG, 2-2 FT) and eight rebounds in 14 minutes during Monday's 117-110 loss to Minnesota in Game 4 of the Western Conference Semifinals.
Trayce Jackson-Davis had another quiet showing with the starters, while Looney nearly double-doubled in 14 minutes, doing most of his damage in the first half. However, Looney has been quiet in the playoffs, averaging 2.4 points and 3.6 rebounds in 10.4 minutes across 11 appearances.

Warriors' Kevon Looney: Pulls down six rebounds
Rotowire
Looney accumulated two points (1-2 FG), six rebounds, one block and two steals across 14 minutes during Tuesday's 99-88 victory over the Timberwolves in Game 1 of the Western Conference Semifinals.
With coach Steve Kerr slowly moving away from Quinten Post, Looney's role could grow in this series as the team could use his size to match up with Rudy Gobert. And with Stephen Curry (hamstring) now ruled out through Game 4, the Warriors could potentially utilize some bigger lineups, which would benefit Looney.

Warriors' Kevon Looney: Sees 13 minutes
Rotowire
Looney closed Wednesday's 109-94 loss to the Rockets in Game 2 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs with five points (2-3 FG, 1-2 FT), four rebounds and three assists across 13 minutes.
After seeing nine minutes in Game 1, Looney saw a slight increase in minutes Wednesday -- Jimmy Butler left after eight minutes with a pelvic contusion and Brandin Podziemski was limited to 14 minutes due to an illness. Quinten Post, who had 12 points in 25 minutes, is likely to remain the primary big off the bench for Golden State.

Warriors' Kevon Looney: Logs six minutes Saturday
Rotowire
Looney finished with two points (1-1 FG) and three rebounds in six minutes during Saturday's 97-94 victory over New York.
Looney managed just six minutes in the loss, the fewest he has played since Christmas day. The improved play of Quinten Post has seen Looney relegated to the backup role once again. He began the season behind Trayce Jackson-Davis, who himself has basically fallen out of the rotation altogether. Although he typically plays minutes in the teens, Looney is unlikely to step into a sizeable role any time soon.

Warriors' Kevon Looney: Records two steals in win
Rotowire
Looney amassed six points (3-6 FG), six rebounds, three assists and two steals across 20 minutes during Monday's 130-120 win over the Trail Blazers.
Looney made an impact on the defensive end of the floor during Monday's win against Portland, finishing with two steals to go along with six rebounds. The veteran big man has seen his role change for the Warriors this season, but he continues to be a solid contributor, averaging 4.9 points, 6.6 rebounds and 1.7 assists per game in 15.7 minutes per contest.

Warriors' Kevon Looney: Will play Thursday
Rotowire
Looney (nasal bone) has been cleared to play in Thursday's game against the Lakers.
Looney will help provide some much-needed depth in the frontcourt Thursday on the road in Los Angeles. The veteran big man is coming off a decent all-around performance in Wednesday's loss to the Jazz, finishing with six points, 10 rebounds, three assists, one steal and one block across 23 minutes off the bench for Golden State.

Warriors' Kevon Looney: Team-high 10 rebounds in loss
Rotowire
Looney posted six points (2-5 FG, 2-2 FT), 10 rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal in 23 minutes during Wednesday's 131-128 loss to Utah.
Although Looney came off Golden State's bench Wednesday, he led the team with 10 rebounds for his 12th game of the year with double-digit boards. The veteran big man also played 23 minutes to starter Quinten Post's 25, signaling the Warriors went with a near even timeshare at the center position. Looney's playing time also benefitted from the absence of Trayce Jackson-Davis (knee), so the former may not have the same fantasy appeal if the latter returns Thursday against the Lakers.

Warriors' Kevon Looney: Season-high 18 points in win
Rotowire
Looney notched 18 points (5-7 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 8-9 FT), three rebounds, two assists and four blocks across 25 minutes during Wednesday's 116-109 victory over the Thunder.
Looney was key to the Warriors' win Wednesday against the Thunder. The veteran big man didn't crash the glass like he usually does for Golden State, finishing with three rebounds. Still, he made an impact in other areas, recording season-high total points (18) and blocks (4) to help his team beat Oklahoma City.

Warriors' Kevon Looney: Pulls down 11 rebounds
Rotowire
Looney ended with six points (3-5 FG, 0-1 FT), 11 rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one steal across 24 minutes during Tuesday's 114-103 win over the Jazz.
Trayce Jackson-Davis started this game but logged a total of six minutes. Meanwhile, Looney pulled down five offensive boards, matching Utah's total as a team. Looney's minutes have been volatile, however, so he's only worth monitoring in deeper formats for now -- he's played 10 or fewer minutes in two of his last four games.

Looney started Wednesday's game but was replaced by Trayce Jackson-Davis to open the second half. The veteran finished the contest scoreless (0-3 FG) and recorded two rebounds across nine minutes. Quinten Post and Jackson-Davis should handle center duties for the rest of the contest.

Warriors' Kevon Looney: Pulls down seven rebounds
Rotowire
Looney ended Monday's 125-85 loss to the Celtics with five points (2-4 FG, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds and one assist in 16 minutes.
With Draymond Green (calf) sidelined for at least three more games, Looney could have a bit more opportunity in the short term behind Trayce Jackson-Davis. Over Looney's last four outings, he's been productive in limited minutes with 7.3 points, 8.5 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 0.8 blocks in 19.7 minutes.
Looney registered eight points (4-6 FG, 0-1 FT), eight rebounds, three assists, one block and two steals over 21 minutes during Thursday's 107-104 win over Detroit.
After missing four of the last seven games, Looney played well in 21 minutes off the bench for the Warriors during Thursday's win against the Pistons. The veteran big man is averaging 5.1 points, 6.7 rebounds and 1.6 assists per game, shooting 54.7 percent from the floor this season.

Warriors' Kevon Looney: Perfect from field in victory
Rotowire
Looney chipped in six points (3-3 FG, 0-1 FT), two rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal in eight minutes during Thursday's 139-105 win over the 76ers.
Looney has been slowly phased out of Golden State's rotation, as he didn't even receive any playing time during the team's previous two outings. Trayce Jackson-Davis has fully cemented himself as the starting center, and coach Steve Kerr typically opts to go with smaller bench lineups. Unless there is a significant uptick in Looney's role, his fantasy value will continue to diminish.

Warriors' Kevon Looney: Returning to bench role
Rotowire
Looney is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Timberwolves.
Head coach Steve Kerr has decided to tweak the Warriors' frontcourt for this matchup against the Timberwolves, meaning Looney will return to the bench while Trayce Jackson-Davis gets the start at center. Looney's numbers haven't experienced many changes regardless of his role, though, and he's not expected to have a lot of fantasy upside in most formats.

Warriors' Kevon Looney: Back in starting lineup
Rotowire
Looney will start Sunday's game against the Mavericks, Anthony Slater of The Athletic reports.
Looney has come off the bench in the team's last two games, but he will return to a starting role Sunday with Draymond Green retreating to the bench. In his last three starts, Looney averaged 3.7 points, 9.0 rebounds and 1.3 steals in 24.7 minutes per contest.
