June 29 - According to reporter Chris Haynes, the New Orleans Pelicans have decided to decline the $8 million team option for center Kevon Looney for the 2025-26 season, making him a free agent.
The three-time NBA champion had a relatively limited time with the Pelicans. Due to injuries, he only played 21 games throughout the season, failing to fully demonstrate his value in interior defense and experience.
Looney spent a long time with the Golden State Warriors, playing a key rotation player during the team's championship run, and was known for his rebounding, pick-and-roll play, and consistency. After joining the Pelicans this season, he was initially expected to provide experience to the young roster, but injuries hampered his ability to perform as anticipated.
