Anthony Slater: Warriors announce the testing on Kevon Looney’s neuropathy was encouraging and they believe he can return at some point in near future, but rule him out for at least two more weeks.
There is the option to trade Russell starting Dec. 15, something the Warriors have rejected as a possibility. There’s a long time between now and then, and such a move would really open up a lot of questions. So let’s wait on that topic and see how things develop. Short of that, though, the Warriors’ roster is what it is, and they have to hope to get healthy and stay healthy. The Warriors have three centers — Willie Cauley-Stein, Kevon Looney and Alen Smailagic — out with significant injuries and are scrambling to fill minutes in the frontcourt.
Kevon Looney to miss significant time?
The Warriors center rotation took another hit Saturday, as Kevon Looney will miss the next two games, and probably more, with further complications with his hamstring. Looney, who did not play in the second half of Thursday’s game against the Clippers due to right hamstring tightness, has been ruled out for the team’s current two-game road trip to Oklahoma City and New Orleans as he deals with a condition that has delayed his recovery. He sat out the entire preseason with a strain to the same hamstring.
The Warriors are officially listing Looney as out for an unspecified amount of time as he searches for answers on how best to treat and manage his neuropathy. “(He’s had it for) a couple of years,” Steve Kerr revealed. “It’s something that he’s been able to play through. But in this particular case, the condition is affecting his hamstring.”
