This article will highlight the personal information about Kevon Looney, an American professional basketball player and his girlfriend.

Kevon Grant Looney is an American professional basketball player for the Golden State Warriors of the National Basketball Association. He was born on February 6, 1996, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, United States. As a youngster, he watched his brother Kevin, who was six years older, play pickup games. Like his brother, Looney became a Los Angeles Lakers and Kobe Bryant fan, and watched tapes of Bryant, copying his moves.

Looney was the best player on his high school team at Alexander Hamilton High in Milwaukee. He was already being recruited by colleges as a freshman, receiving offers from in-state schools Marquette and Wisconsin. In his sophomore year in 2012, Looney was named Player of the Year of the Milwaukee City Conference after averaging 20.9 points, 8.6 rebounds, and 2.0 assists per game. As a junior, he averaged 26.1 points, 12.4 rebounds, 7.0 blocks, and 3.1 assists per game, leading a team of mostly unproven players to a runner-up finish for the conference title.

Looney announced on Halloween in 2013 his decision to attend the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). No recruiting analysts at 247Sports.com had predicted his decision, which was a secret to everyone, including his parents.

As a freshman playing college basketball with the UCLA Bruins, he earned second-team all-conference honors in the Pac-12 in 2015. After the season, Looney decided to forgo his college eligibility and enter the 2015 NBA draft and was selected in the first round by Golden State with the 30th overall pick. He has won three NBA championships with the Warriors.

On July 8, 2015, Looney signed his rookie scale contract with the Warriors and played on their Las Vegas Summer League team. On August 20, Looney underwent a successful right hip arthroscopy to repair a torn labrum.

On January 4, 2016, Looney was assigned to the Santa Cruz Warriors, Golden State’s D-League affiliate, after he was cleared to practice after rehab from his surgery.

On January 13, 2017, he received a one-game assignment to Santa Cruz after an extended stretch of limited playing time. He was impressive in his D-League season debut, logging 18 points and 20 rebounds in 24 minutes. It was the first of three D-League stints for him during the season.

Looney re-signed with the Warriors for 2018–19. Golden State also added four-time NBA All-Star center DeMarcus Cousins with their mid-level exception, but he was rehabbing his left Achilles tendon and had no definitive timeline on when he would return.

On January 9, 2022, Looney recorded a career-high 18 rebounds against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Able to manage the pain from his neuropathy, Looney played in all 82 games of the regular season, making a career-high 80 starts and averaging career bests with 21.1 minutes and 7.3 rebounds per game.

Who is Kevon Looney dating?

Looney is dating Mariah Simone Winston, better known as Mariah Simone. Simone was born on Dec. 15, 1994, in Los Angeles, California. She prides herself on being a lifelong athlete who grew up playing multiple sports, including volleyball and basketball. That includes a brief time spent playing basketball on a scholarship for Holy Names University.

Simone graduated from California State University, Northridge, in 2019 with a degree in marketing and communication studies. She has since transitioned to a career as an Instagram fitness model, where she currently has over 63K followers.
