Warriors' Kevon Looney moves to the bench in favor of JaVale McGee in Game 2
Golden State Warriors forward Kevon Looney will not start in Game 2 of the NBA Finals on Sunday.
What It Means:
Looney had started the last five games for Golden State with Andre Iguodala out of action. He moves to the bench on Sunday with the Dubs going big with JaVale McGee starting on Sunday. Looney should still see a decent amount of minutes off the bench, despite the lineup switch.
Looney averaged 4.6 points, 4.8 rebounds, and 0.5 blocks in 20.4 minutes in the 13 games he came off the bench this postseason.
