Pelicans' Kevon Looney: Does not play Sunday
Looney was a healthy scratch for Sunday's game against the Warriors.
After starting the last six games, Looney was relegated to the bench in favor of rookie Derik Queen, and the veteran ended up not appearing in the game at all. It remains to be seen whether Looney's role has completely disappeared or if the decision not to play him was matchup-based, but with Zion Williamson (hamstring) also returning to the mix soon, Looney may not see the court consistently moving forward.

Pelicans' Kevon Looney: Moves to second unit
Looney will come off the bench for Sunday's game against the Warriors.
The Pelicans have a new head coach, and the team will already make some tweaks with rookie Derik Queen getting the starting nod. It remains to be seen if Looney or Yves Missi will soak up the backup center minutes.

Pelicans' Kevon Looney: Sees 16 minutes as starter
Looney produced two points (1-4 FG), six rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal in 16 minutes during Monday's 121-98 loss to the Suns.
Yves Missi was cleared to return from a three-game absence after battling an illness, but oddly enough, he didn't see the floor. Despite his newfound role, Looney has been unable to make a big impact in fantasy thus far. Through five appearances, he's averaging 3.6 points, 5.0 rebounds and 1.6 assists in 15.9 minutes per contest.

Pelicans' Kevon Looney: Falters in start
Looney accumulated five points (1-3 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-4 FT) and six rebounds over 17 minutes during Saturday's 126-119 loss to San Antonio.
Looney remained in the starting lineup, although his production does not reflect what might be considered a typical starter. He has now opened for three straight games, averaging 4.3 points and 5.3 rebounds in 15.7 minutes per contest.

Pelicans' Kevon Looney: Will start vs. Charlotte
Looney (knee) will be in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Hornets.
With Yves Missi ruled out due to an illness, Looney will get the nod in the first five. He'll be joined by Jeremiah Fears, Jordan Poole, Trey Murphy and Herbert Jones.

Pelicans' Kevon Looney: Serves as backup center in debut
Looney (knee) recorded three points (1-3 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds, two assists and one block across 16 minutes in Sunday's 137-106 loss to the Thunder.
Making his Pelicans debut after he had missed the team's first five games while recovering from a left knee sprain, Looney ousted Derik Queen for the top backup job at center behind starter Yves Missi. Though he's a rugged defender and strong rebounder, Looney's low-usage game will make it difficult to extract much fantasy value from him, especially while he's stuck in a sub-20-minute role.

Pelicans' Kevon Looney: Available Sunday
Looney (knee) is available Sunday against the Thunder, per Will Guillory of The Athletic.
Looney has been bothered by knee soreness since the Pelicans' first preseason game in Melbourne, but he will suit up for the first time during the regular season Sunday. Looney will have to battle for minutes amongst a crowded center room that includes Derik Queen, Yves Missi, and DeAndre Jordan.

Pelicans' Kevon Looney: Questionable for Sunday
Looney (knee) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Thunder.
This is Looney's first questionable tag of the season as he inches closer to his debut for the Pelicans. Once Looney gets the green light, it's possible he soaks up the minutes currently assigned to DeAndre Jordan, but the rotations in New Orleans still appear to be fluid with the team off to a poor start.

Pelicans' Kevon Looney: Downgraded to out
Looney (knee) is out for Friday's game against the Clippers.
While it's not surprising that Looney was downgraded from doubtful to out, he appears to be inching closer toward making his season debut. The veteran big man will hope to return Sunday in Oklahoma City. Meanwhile, DeAndre Jordan should be able to stick around in the New Orleans rotation.

Pelicans' Kevon Looney: Doubtful for Friday
Looney (knee) is doubtful for Friday's game against the Clippers.
The doubtful designation is actually an upgrade for Looney, who has been out for the start of the campaign with a sprained knee. Although he's inching closer to a season debut, Looney's likely absence should allow Yves Missi, Derik Queen and DeAndre Jordan to share the center minutes.

Pelicans' Kevon Looney: Set to miss time
Looney (knee) will miss two to three weeks due to a proximal tibiofibular ligament sprain in his left knee, NBA reporter Chris Haynes reports.
Looney has been dealing with knee soreness, which has turned out to be an injury that will need as much as three weeks to heal. He'll likely be out of the lineup for his new squad until November. New Orleans will likely turn to Derik Queen (wrist) and Karlo Matkovic (elbow) to help shoulder the load in the frontcourt behind projected starter Yves Missi.

Pelicans' Kevon Looney: Won't play Tuesday
Looney will not suit up for Tuesday's exhibition versus the Rockets due to knee soreness, Will Guillory of The Athletic reports.
The Pelicans just returned from playing in Australia, so Looney is getting the night off. His next chance to play will come Thursday in Orlando.

Pelicans' Kevon Looney: Starts preseason opener
Looney logged three points (1-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds, two assists and one block across 18 minutes of Friday's 107-97 preseason win over Melbourne United.
Notably, Looney started over Yves Missi. However, this is the preseason, and the Pelicans are likely going to play around with some lineups. Missi absolutely outplayed Looney in this one despite coming off the bench, so the veteran will have his work cut out for him if he wants to win this position battle.

Pelicans' Kevon Looney: Inks pact with New Orleans
Looney agreed to a two-year, $16 million deal with the Pelicans on Monday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
The 29-year-old big man will join the Pelicans, though he'll likely be stuck behind Yves Missi (ankle) and Derik Queen. Looney spent the first 10 seasons of his career with Golden State. Over 76 regular-season outings (six starts) in 2024-25, he averaged 4.5 points and 6.1 rebounds across 15.0 minutes per game.
