Looney was assigned to the D-League's Santa Cruz Warriors on Thursday, Rusty Simmons of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Looney will head to Santa Cruz in order to participate in Friday's game against the Bakersfield Jam. The rookie made his NBA debut in the second quarter of Wednesday's win over the Mavericks, replacing Draymond Green, who was in foul trouble. He played six minutes, logging two points (1-1 FG), two rebounds, two assists, and a steal in six minutes. Looney will use his time in Santa Cruz to continue to work his way back to full strength after undergoing surgery on his right hip in the offseason.
