As the Warriors look to avoid their 12th straight road loss against the Houston Rockets, they might have to do so without center Kevon Looney, who has played in 183 consecutive games but is listed as questionable.
Iron Man Loon is
for the Warriors-Rockets game at Toyota Center with lower back soreness -- an ailment that has landed him on the injury report several times in recent weeks but has yet to keep him out of a game.Sign up for NBC Bay Area’s Housing Deconstructed newsletter. Looney has appeared in every Warriors game during the 2022-23 NBA season, and most recently was listed as questionable on March 7 before Golden State faced the Oklahoma City Thunder. He eventually was cleared to play, scoring four points and grabbing five boards in 11 minutes of action.
After Looney landed on the injury report as probable with lower back soreness before games against the Atlanta Hawks and Memphis Grizzlies this week, he played 34 and 20 minutes, respectively. In addition to appearing in every contest this season and last, Looney's streak of 183 consecutive games played is the second-longest in the NBA.
Given the fact that Looney's back hasn't kept him from playing yet, it's hard to imagine he won't be on the court Monday -- but it's certainly possible.
