LJ Cryer will not play Monday when the California Classic Summer League continues against the Heat. He is listed with an undisclosed issue and will miss the second leg of the back-to-back-to-back set.
That matters now because Monday is the game on the schedule, and Cryer was expected to be part of it. With him unavailable, Jack Clark and Chase Hunter should have a chance at some extended minutes, giving the Heat matchup a different look than planned.
The absence appears short-lived. Cryer should be back Thursday in Las Vegas against the Mavericks, which keeps this from looking like a longer setback and leaves Monday as the only game he is set to miss in this stretch.
The one thing left unanswered is the undisclosed issue itself. For now, the practical read is simple: LJ is out Monday, the minutes move to Jack Clark and Chase Hunter, and Cryer’s return is lined up for Thursday.
