Looney switches to the Pelicans: New journey begins with jersey No. 55

On August 6, according to jersey reporter Etienne Catalan, the Pelicans welcome new player Looney, who will wear the No. 55 jersey for the team in the new season. In the history of the Pelicans, Trae Jamison has also worn this number. And for the 10 seasons he played with the Warriors, Looney has been wearing the No. 5 jersey.

It was previously reported that Looney signed a 2-year $16 million contract with the Pelicans, of which the second year is the team option. In his 10 seasons with the Warriors, Looney has made great achievements and won the championship three times with the team. He played 599 regular season games for the Warriors, averaging 17.2 minutes per game, contributing 5 points, 5.7 rebounds, 1.6 assists, 0.5 steals and 0.5 blocks.

Last season, Looney still maintained a stable performance, representing the Warriors in 76 games, averaging 15 minutes per game, averaging 4.5 points, 6.1 rebounds, 1.6 assists, 0.6 steals, and 0.5 blocks. His shooting percentage was 51.4%, his three-point shooting percentage reached 40%, and his free throw shooting percentage was 56.6%. Such comprehensive and efficient data demonstrates the value of Looney on the field.

Now, Looney leaves the Warriors as a free agent and turns to the Pelicans to start a new chapter in his career. New numbers, new teams, are undoubtedly new starting points. After the Pelicans got Looney, their inside strength was further strengthened. Fans are looking forward to him bringing more surprises to the Pelicans in the new season and helping the team achieve great results in the competitive NBA arena. Looney will also write a new chapter of his own in the Pelicans with the rich experience and championship background accumulated by the Warriors.
