Warriors forward Kevon Looney underwent an emergency dental procedure Sunday after getting part of one of his front teeth knocked out during Saturday night’s 115-108 loss in Denver.
“The dentist did a great job,” Golden State head coach Steve Kerr said. “He looks as handsome as ever.”
Late in the third quarter against the Nuggets, after being elbowed in the face on a rebound attempt by Denver guard Torrey Craig, Looney grabbed his mouth and walked to the bench before returning to the free-throw line. It was only after he missed both foul shots that referee Ed Malloy helped him find a large chunk of one of his front teeth on the floor.
