Pelicans Cut Ties With 3-Time Champ Kevon Looney
27 Jun
Summary
- Kevon Looney's $8 million team option declined by Pelicans.
- Looney averaged 2.8 points and 5.6 rebounds last season.
- He won three championships during his 10 seasons with Warriors.

Kevon Looney's tenure with the New Orleans Pelicans is reportedly coming to an end, as the team plans to decline his $8 million team option. This decision comes after a single season where Looney, a former 10-year veteran with the Golden State Warriors, struggled to find consistent playing time.
During his time in New Orleans, Looney averaged 2.8 points and 5.6 rebounds across 14.7 minutes per game, appearing in only 21 contests. The team's acquisition of DeAndre Jordan in October further limited his opportunities. Looney, who was part of three championship teams with the Warriors from 2015 to 2025, now faces free agency.
