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

Warriors' LJ Cryer: Hits for 17 in first NBA start
Rotowire
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.
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.

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

Warriors' LJ Cryer: Provides lift off bench in win
Rotowire
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.
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 as 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.

Warriors' LJ Cryer: Puts up 12 points in return
Rotowire
Cryer (hamstring) tallied 12 points (4-9 FG, 4-8 3Pt), three rebounds and one assist in 20 minutes off the bench in Thursday's 115-113 overtime win over the Rockets.
Suiting up at the NBA or G League level for the first time since Jan. 25 after completing his recovery from a left hamstring issue, Cryer ended up being included in the rotation for a Warriors squad that was down seven players due to injury. The rookie two-way guard out of Houston acquitted himself well during his time on the court to help lead Golden State to an upset win, but Cryer could drop back out of the rotation for the Warriors' next game Saturday at Oklahoma City if any of Moses Moody (wrist), Will Richard (ankle) or Gary Payton (ankle) return to action.

Cryer continues to be sidelined by a left hamstring injury that will keep him out of action for a sixth consecutive game. His next chance to play is Monday against the Grizzlies, though the two-way player will likely go to the G League for more reps once he's cleared to return to on-court action.
