The Golden State Warriors have decided to guarantee Kevon Looney's $8 million contract for the 2024-25 season, securing his place on the team despite rumors of his potential release to free up cap space. Looney, who saw a reduced role last season due to the emergence of rookie Trayce Jackson-Davis, remains valued for his defensive skills, rebounding, and leadership. This decision ensures Looney's presence as a steady low-post defender and a respected locker-room figure. While his contract could still be used in a trade, the Warriors currently intend to keep him on the roster. Looney's future with the team is part of broader strategic decisions, including the upcoming guaranteed salary deadline for veteran Chris Paul. The Warriors' commitment to Looney underscores his importance to their team dynamic and championship experience.
