The Warriors were defeated by the Kings on Wednesday night, and Kevon Looney's absence was felt in the frontcourt.

A hard foul that Warriors big man Kevon Looney committed on Anthony Davis in Saturday's game has been upgraded.

Looney exited Wednesday's contest against the Kings due to an illness, and while he's good to go Thursday, he'll return to his regular bench role. The big man is averaging 5.6 points and 7.0 rebounds per contest across his 31 appearances off the bench this season.

The persistent issue for the Warriors has been allowing their shot-making to affect other areas of their game. There was a point in the 2024-25 NBA season when Golden State ranked much higher than 11th in terms of defensive rating.

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.

Golden State’s latest wrinkle is inserting two-way center Quinten Post into the starting-five, taking the place of Trayce Jackson-Davis. Post, who has impressed in his first four games in an NBA rotation, gives the Warriors a new look as a floor-spacing center.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander scored 52 points for Oklahoma City Wednesday, but Golden State's balanced scoring attack was too much for the Thunder in a 116-109 victory. Andrew Wiggins scored 27 for the Warriors.
