‘Make it make sense…’ Warriors fans are in shock after LJ Cryer gets waived, but there is still hope

The Golden State Warriors have waived LJ Cryer, an undrafted rookie who stood out during the preseason with impressive performances, earning praise from coach Steve Kerr and making a strong case for a roster spot.

Fans expressed shock and disappointment over the decision, criticizing the team for letting go of a player they viewed as talented and versatile, with some pointing out his efficiency in limited minutes and comparing him favorably to other retained players.

Despite the waiver, there is a possibility that Cryer could join the Warriors' G-League affiliate, the Santa Cruz Warriors, to gain playing time and potentially secure a two-way contract or a call-up later in the season.
