To be re-evaluated in one week
Cryer will be re-evaluated in one week after an MRI confirmed a right ankle sprain.
Analysis
Cryer suffered the ankle injury late in Thursday's 119-103 loss to the Lakers. The 24-year-old appeared in 18 regular-season games (one start) this season, averaging 8.2 points, 1.6 rebounds, 1.0 assists and 0.2 steals across 16.2 minutes per contest. He's currently signed to a two-way contract and will not be eligible for the postseason unless he's converted to a standard deal.

Out with ankle sprain
Cryer (ankle) is out for Friday's game against the Kings.
Analysis
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
Head coach Steve Kerr said postgame that Cryer exited Thursday's 119-103 loss to the Lakers in the fourth quarter and did not return due to a sprained right ankle, Nick Friedell of The Athletic reports. He finished with eight points (3-6 FG, 2-5 3Pt), two assists, one rebound and one steal in 15 minutes.
Analysis
Cryer stepped on an opposing player's foot and rolled 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. Kerr said Cryer will be re-evaluated Friday morning, 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.
Analysis
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 thereafter, per Nick Friedell of The Athletic, indicating that the injury may not be as serious as it initially looked.

Good to go Thursday
Cryer (illness) will play Thursday against the Lakers.
Analysis
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 8, 2026
Probable for Thursday
Cryer (illness) is probable for Thursday's game against the Lakers.
Analysis
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.
April 7, 2026
Out Tuesday
Cryer (illness) won't play Tuesday against the Kings.
Analysis
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 of a back-to-back set.
April 7, 2026
Iffy for Tuesday
Cryer (illness) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Kings.
Analysis
Cryer was previously listed as probable for the Warriors. With Stephen Curry healthy again, Cryer's path to minutes is no longer clear.
April 6, 2026
Probable to face Sacramento
Cryer (illness) is listed as probable for Tuesday's game against the Kings.
Analysis
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.
April 5, 2026
Won't play Sunday
Cryer has been ruled out for Sunday's game versus the Rockets due to an illness.
Analysis
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.
