Kevon Looney Receives Emotional Welcome in Return to Warriors' Chase Center

Kevon Looney received a minute-long standing ovation and tribute video in his return to Chase Center as a New Orleans Pelican. The former Warrior, drafted in 2015, won three championships and was essential to the 2022 title, overcoming hip surgeries to play 290 consecutive games. Coach Steve Kerr acknowledged the Warriors miss his offensive rebounding and locker-room presence. In his game against his former team, Looney played 10 minutes off the bench, contributing 4 points and 5 rebounds. He signed a two-year deal with the Pelicans last summer.
