He was initially termed questionable to return to the game due to a left chest contusion, but apparently things became more serious.
The Athletic’s Shams Charania reports that Looney has a sprained collarbone and would not return to the game.

The injury was bad enough that Looney underwent X-rays. He was visibly in pain on the Warriors’ bench prior to undergoing X-rays.
Looney played 10 minutes, grabbing one rebound in Game 2. The Warriors just got DeMarcus Cousins back from a quad injury suffered in the team’s first-round series against the Clippers and are back to potentially having depth issues with their big men. Andrew Bogut and Damian ones are among their other options at center.
