The NBA community is abuzz with discussions about Kevon Looney’s recent comments on Domantas Sabonis. During a press conference, Looney was asked about the incident involving Sabonis during a game between the Golden State Warriors and the Sacramento Kings. While many expected him to criticize Sabonis for his actions, Looney surprisingly defended the player, stating that physicality is a normal part of the game.
According to reports, the Warriors organization believes that Domantas Sabonis is taking his physicality to the extreme, even by playoff standards. They allege that he uses the ball as a “weapon” and shoves people on offensive rebounds.
Despite this, Looney remains unperturbed, stating that pushing, shoving, and grabbing are all a part of protocol under the basket. “As a big man, that’s what we do,” he said.

While some argue that Sabonis was innocent in the incident, others believe that both parties were at fault. Draymond Green, who was involved in the altercation, has stated that Sabonis routinely holds onto him. He also claims that officials have been missing several calls on this issue. To his credit, Green’s statement seems plausible, given Sabonis’ reputation as one of the more silent agitators in the league.
Looney’s statement was a breath of fresh air, given the recent rumors and discord between the two teams. He urged both Domantas Sabonis and Green to focus on playing basketball and move on from the incident. “Hopefully, both Domantas Sabonis and Draymond Green can take a page out of a fellow big man’s book,” he said.
