Lakers' Max Christie: Shows out against Celtics
Christie logged 24 points (7-14 FG, 2-5 3PT, 8-8 FT), eight rebounds, three assists, two steals and a block over 35 minutes of Wednesday's 95-90 Summer League loss to Boston.
Christie turned in another impressive performance, leading the Lakers in points and tying for the best rebound total. He also positively impacted the defensive end, corraling three steals-plus-blocks on his way to a positive-two plus-minus. The second-year guard has consistently been the Lakers' best player in Summer League and could contend for a regular-season rotation spot.

It's unclear whether he'll be able to suit up for Friday's game against the Grizzlies, but it seems unlikely that his injury would impact his availability for training camp.

Lakers' Max Christie: Shines in Summer League opener
Christie tallied 17 points (6-11 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 4-4 FT), six rebounds, four assists and one steal in 32 minutes during Monday's 107-90 Summer League loss to Miami.
Christie, a 2022 second-round pick, made 41 NBA appearances (three starts) during his rookie season, averaging just 3.1 points and 1.8 rebounds in 12.5 minutes per game. The 20-year-old got off to a good start in Summer League, but he'll have to take a big step forward this offseason if he's going to carve out a rotational role in Year 2.

Christie secured 17 points (6-16 FG, 3-9 3PT, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, two steals and two blocks over 28 minutes of Saturday's 120-96 win over the Ignite.
Although Christie finished with the second most points for South Bay, he ended Saturday's tilt with the worst plus-minus of the starters (+11). He jacked up 16 shots in the win but found the bottom of the net only six times. However, Christie made up for his offensive shortcomings on the opposite end of the court, securing two steals and two blocks.

Christie will come off the bench Saturday against the Warriors, Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com reports.
With D'Angelo Russell joining the starters alongside Dennis Schroder while LeBron James (ankle) is out, Christie returns to a reserve role. Given that the Lakers added depth at the trade deadline, Christie's playing time could be even more limited going forward.

Lakers' Max Christie: Has career-best night in loss
Christie closed Monday's 122-109 loss to the Nuggets with 14 points (6-8 FG, 2-3 3Pt), three rebounds and one assist in 26 minutes.
With LeBron James (ankle), Austin Reaves (hamstring) and Lonnie Walker (knee) all unavailable Monday, Christie was pressed into the first start of his career. The rookie responded with an impressive shooting performance, nailing 2-of-3 three-point attempts and going 6-for-8 from the field overall en route to a career-best 14 points. Reaves and Walker are both expected to be out for at least another week, so Christie could continue to see expanded opportunities, though his body of work this season hasn't been anywhere near the level that should inspire fantasy managers to grab him off the waiver wire.
