根據ESPN的Kendra Andrews報導，金州勇士隊決定保證Kevon Looney在2024/25賽季的800萬美元薪水。

《The Athletic》的Anthony Slater指出，如果勇士隊在週一之前裁掉Looney，他們本可節省500萬美元，但記者指出裁掉Looney並重新簽約風險過高，且節省的薪資並不顯著。

Also within this: All signs point to the Warriors retaining Kevon Looney past his guarantee date on Monday, keeping him at $8 million for next season, per sources. Always possible he could be part of offseason trade, but outright release is unlikely. https://t.co/hlj9a7OHU4

Looney自2015年加入勇士以來，贏得三次總冠軍，並以其防守多樣性、籃板能力成為球隊前場的重要成員，雖然他在2023/24賽季數據有所下滑，但仍是教練Steve Kerr器重的球員。
