Though he was initially ruled out, Golden State Warriors big man Kevon Looney could be cleared for action before the end of this year's NBA Finals, according to a report from ESPN's Tim Bontemps:

Looney took an awkward fall during Game 2 while defending Raptors forward Kawhi Leonard. At first, the Warriors thought Looney's injury may have been a chest contusion, but X-rays later revealed a collarbone fracture. Now, after further examination from the team's medical staff, the Warriors are hoping he'll be able to make a return at some point. As of Thursday, though, he has not been cleared to play in Game 4.
