The Golden State Warriors are bringing back centre Kevon Looney and will reportedly sign him to a three-year, $15-million contract.
Looney was originally drafted by the Warriors with the 30th-overall pick in the 2015 NBA Draft. After three seasons with limited playing time and opportunity, Looney played an integral role for the Warriors this past season as a key bench piece and the team’s preferred closing centre.
He averaged 6.3 points and 5.2 rebounds in 80 games played last season.
The 23-year-old returns to a Warriors team that appears to be in a little bit of a transition after reportedly losing Kevin Durant to the Brooklyn Nets, but then picking up Nets all-star guard D’Angelo Russell.
