Forward Kevon Looney has been assigned to the Warriors’ Development League affiliate in Santa Cruz, Golden State announced Wednesday.

Looney, who will be available for Santa Cruz’s game Thursday against the Austin Spurs, has averaged 13.7 points and 12.3 rebounds in three D-League games this season. In 51 games with Golden State, he is averaging 2.6 points and 2.4 rebounds.

With Looney in the D-League and Kevin Durant still sidelined by a left knee injury, the Warriors’ options at small forward are Patrick McCaw, Andre Iguodala and James Michael McAdoo. Iguodala, who missed Tuesday’s rout of Dallas with a left hip strain, is expected to be back in the lineup.
