Looney has been especially effective this season after slimming down over the summer. He ranks third in the NBA in offensive rebounds per game (4.3) despite playing roughly half as many minutes as everyone else in the top-10.
The Warriors, despite being the shortest team in the league, rank highly in rebounding metrics, showcasing Looney's role on the boards.
In their first meeting, Clippers center Ivica Zubac recorded 23 points and 18 rebounds against the Warriors, highlighting the need for depth without Looney.
Golden State is likely to play more small lineups in Looney's absence, with players like Kyle Anderson stepping in as the center.
