Kevon Looney Saves Reporter from Flying Basketball During Live Interview

During a pregame interview, Golden State Warriors forward Kevon Looney demonstrated quick reflexes by swatting away a basketball that was about to hit NBC Sports reporter Kerith Burke, who expressed her gratitude by exclaiming, 'Thank you for saving my life!' This incident occurred before the Warriors' game against the Milwaukee Bucks, which the team won 104-93 despite the absence of star player Stephen Curry, who was rested due to fatigue. Looney's timely intervention not only prevented a potentially embarrassing moment for Burke but also highlighted his role as a dependable player for the Warriors. In the game, Jimmy Butler excelled, scoring 24 points, helping the team rebound from a previous loss to the Denver Nuggets. Looney, while not a significant scorer in the matchup, continues to be a key player as he approaches the end of his contract with the team. The Warriors are currently competing for playoff positioning in the Western Conference.
