The injury occurred with just over two minutes to go in the first half. Looney seemed to take a wrong step when his ankle twisted. He stayed in the game for a few more moments, but was eventually replaced by Juan Toscano-Anderson.

Looney went straight to the locker room and never came back.
The Warriors are already playing low-handed without rookie James Wiseman, who sprained his left wrist in Saturday’s win over the Detroit Pistons. Wiseman underwent an MRI on Sunday that revealed the sprain and is scheduled to be reevaluated in a week.

Marquese Chriss, who was expected to provide rotational minutes off the bench, suffered an ankle injury in the first week of the season during practice in Chicago. It’s unclear whether Chriss will be able to return to action this season or not.
Looney had four points, three rebounds and three assists in 13 minutes.
