Diagnosed with sprained ankle Cryer (ankle) will be re-evaluated in one week after an MRI confirmed a right-ankle sprain.

Impact Cryer suffered the ankle injury late in Thursday's 119-103 loss to the Lakers. With the latest update, he will miss the rest of the regular season as well as the Play-In Tournament. The 24-year-old played well enough in his 18 appearances, averaging 8.2 points, 1.6 rebounds, 10.0 assists and 0.2 steals across 16.2 minutes. However, with Stephen Curry (knee) back in the equation, Cryer could have a tough time finding minutes if he returns before the Warriors are eliminated from the postseason.

Out with ankle sprain Cryer (ankle) is out for Friday's game against the Kings.

Impact Cryer left Thursday's loss to the Lakers in the fourth quarter due to a sprained right ankle, and he's now out for the second half of this back-to-back set. More playing time is open to Pat Spencer, Gary Payton and De'Anthony Melton on Friday.

Exits early Thursday Cryer exited Thursday's 119-103 loss to the Lakers in the fourth quarter and did not return due to an apparent right ankle injury, finishing with eight points (3-6 FG, 2-5 3Pt), tw...

Impact Cryer stepped on an opposing player's foot and appeared to roll his ankle. The rookie was down for a considerable amount of time and needed help getting back to the locker room, though he was later spotted back on the bench. The severity of the injury is unclear, and he faces a short turnaround if he hopes to suit up Friday against Sacramento. He can be considered highly questionable for Friday's contest until the Warriors provide an update on his status.

Helped to locker room Cryer went to the locker room after suffering a right ankle injury during the fourth quarter of Thursday's game against the Lakers, Danny Emerman of SFStandard.com reports.

Impact Cryer appeared to step on an opposing player's foot, which resulted in a twisted ankle. He wasn't able to put any weight on the foot after the play and needed assistance heading down the tunnel. However, Cryer was spotted back on the bench shortly after, per Nick Friedell of The Athletic, indicating that the injury may not be as serious as it initially looked.

APRIL 10 • ROTOWIRE

Good to go Thursday Cryer (illness) will play Thursday against the Lakers.

Impact Cryer will make his return to the hardwood Thursday after missing Golden State's previous two matchups due to an illness. He figures to get some run off the bench with Stephen Curry (knee) sidelined.

APRIL 10 • ROTOWIRE

Probable for Thursday Cryer (illness) is probable for Thursday's game against the Lakers.

Impact Cryer appears likely to return from a two-game absence. The Warriors could be very thin for the front end of this back-to-back set, and Stephen Curry (knee) is questionable to play which could open things up for Cryer.

Out for Tuesday Cryer (illness) won't play Tuesday against the Kings.

Impact This will be Cryer's second straight game on the sidelines due to illness. His next chance to play will come Thursday versus the Lakers, which will be the first game in a back-to-back set.

APRIL 7 • ROTOWIRE

Iffy for Tuesday Cryer (illness) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Kings.

Impact Cryer was previously listed as probable for the Warriors. With Stephen Curry healthy again, Cryer's path to minutes is no longer clear.

Probable to face Sacramento Cryer (illness) is listed as probable for Tuesday's game against the Kings.

Impact Cryer missed Sunday's loss to Houston due to an illness but is likely to return to action Tuesday. With Stephen Curry (knee) likely to suit up for a second consecutive contest, Cryer could see a dip in playing time. The rookie has averaged 8.2 points and 1.8 assists in 21.2 minutes per tilt over his last five appearances.

Won't play Sunday Cryer has been ruled out for Sunday's game versus the Rockets due to an illness.

Impact An illness will keep Cryer out of Sunday's game, and for now, he should be considered questionable for Tuesday's meeting with the Kings. Pat Spencer should be more involved in the rotation Sunday with Cryer unavailable.

Shifting to bench Cryer isn't in the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Cavaliers.

Impact Cryer was shuffled into the starting lineup for his first career start Wednesday, but he'll return to his usual bench role now that Golden State has managed to get a bit more healthy. He's averaging 8.0 points, 1.7 rebounds and 1.3 assists in his last six matchups as a reserve.

Hits for 17 in first NBA start Cryer logged 17 points (6-12 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 3-3 FT), one rebound and three assists across 23 minutes during Wednesday's 127-113 loss to San Antonio.

Impact Getting his first career start, the rookie guard tied his season scoring high, a mark he first set March 10 against the Bulls. Cryer has scored in double digits in eight of his last 13 games while taking on a more significant role in the Warriors' shorthanded backcourt, averaging 9.4 points, 2.3 threes, 1.9 boards and 1.2 assists in 18.7 minutes.

Draws first career start Wednesday Cryer will start Wednesday's game against the Spurs, Anthony Slater of ESPN.com reports.

Impact The Warriors will be extremely shorthanded in the front end of this back-to-back set, opening the door for Cryer to make his first career start. The rookie guard has averaged 7.6 points, 2.0 rebounds and 1.4 assists across 19.2 minutes per game over his last five outings, though he's likely to see a significant uptick in playing time Wednesday.

Provides lift off bench in win Cryer scored 14 points (5-7 FG, 4-6 3Pt) and added four rebounds and one assist in 19 minutes off the bench Monday in the Warriors' 137-131 overtime win over the Mavericks.

Impact After a recent two-game absence due to left hamstring injury management, Cryer has returned to provide Golden State with some stellar perimeter shooting in each of the past three contests. Cryer has drilled at least three triples in each of those games, converting at a 55 percent clip overall from downtown. Stephen Curry (knee) is scheduled to be re-evaluated Tuesday and may be moving closer to a return, but so long as the two-time league MVP remains sidelined, Cryer should have a decent chance at maintaining a regular spot in the Golden State rotation.
