Kevon Looney exercised his $5.2M player option to return to the Golden State Warriors, for what will be his seventh season with the team.

Kevon Looney has decided to return to the Golden State Warriors this season and this is good, as the team might need him more than you think.

Looney has spent his entire career in the Bay and has become something of a fan favorite. He played his heart out in the 2019 NBA Finals when his number was called upon and he’s been an integral member of the squad during the last few seasons as the roster has undergone a near-complete overhaul.
