Warriors’ Kevon Looney out at least the “next couple games” with ankle sprain

Kevin Looney of the Golden State Warriors will miss the next couple of games with an ankle sprain.

Per ESPN, Golden State Warriors center Kevon Looney will miss at least the “next couple games” after spraining his left ankle during the first half of Tuesday’s 111-107 loss to the Boston Celtics, head coach Steve Kerr said.

An MRI late Tuesday confirmed the sprain, according to the Warriors.

“I don’t expect him to play the next couple of games,” Kerr said in a video conference with reporters after the game. “It was a significant enough sprain where it looks like he’ll be out for a little bit.”
The Warriors are already playing short-handed without rookie center James Wiseman, who sprained his left wrist in Saturday’s home win over the Detroit Pistons. Wiseman had an MRI on Sunday that revealed the sprain, and he is scheduled to be reevaluated in a week.
