Lakers' Max Christie: Iffy against Oklahoma City
Christie is listed as questionable for Thursday's game versus the Thunder due to a left calf contusion.
Christie has started in the Lakers' last four contests but is in danger of missing Thursday's contest. With Cam Reddish (groin) also questionable, Austin Reaves and Jalen Hood-Schifino are candidates to receive extended minutes if both Christie and Reddish are ruled out.

Lakers' Max Christie: Starting sans Reddish
Christie will start Wednesday's game against the Mavericks, Dan Woike of the Los Angeles Times reports.
Christie will make his first start of 2023 -- and the fourth of his career -- with Cam Reddish (groin) sidelined for the contest. In the four games he's seen more than 20 minutes this season, Christie has averaged 5.5 points and 5.3 rebounds over 24.5 minutes.

Lakers' Max Christie: Contributes in blowout win
Christie added five points (2-2 FG, 1-1 3Pt), one rebound, one assist, and one steal in the Lakers' 134-107 victory over the Grizzlies on Tuesday.
Christie is averaging 3.8 points, 3.6 rebounds, 1.0 assists, 0.4 steals and 0.2 blocks on 38.6 percent shooting from the field (and a measly 16.7 percent from three) over 17.6 minutes of play in his last five games. Although he had promising performances in the 2023 Summer League, the second-year guard has not yet translated those showings into tangible results, and with the return of Jarred Vanderbilt (heel) and Gabe Vincent (knee) nearing, it appears he will fall out of the rotation barring injury.

Lakers' Max Christie: Plays 22 minutes in OT win
Christie amassed five points (1-7 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and three rebounds across 22 minutes during Wednesday's 130-125 overtime victory over the Clippers.
After totaling just one minute of playing time over the Lakers' first four games of the season, Christie saw an uptick in minutes with Gabe Vincent (knee) and Taurean Prince (knee) sidelined. It seems unlikely that those two players will miss significant time, and Christie will presumably fall out of the rotation again once the team gets some of their other contributors back in action.

Lakers' Max Christie: Efficient off bench
Christie totaled 15 points (6-10 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), two rebounds, one assist and one steal in 25 minutes during Saturday's 125-108 preseason loss to the Warriors.
Christie sustained a right hip strain during Summer League play this year but was healthy for the start of training camp and had decent production during Saturday's preseason opener. He had inconsistent results last year, averaging 3.1 points and 1.8 rebounds in 12.5 minutes per game over 41 appearances, but he's looking to take a major leap in Year 2.

Lakers' Max Christie: Healthy for training camp
Lakers coach Darvin Ham said Thursday that Christie (hip) is expected to be healthy for the beginning of training camp Tuesday, Dan Woike of The Los Angeles Sun reports.
Christie suffered a right hip strain during Summer League play but should be good to go for training camp. Christie made 41 appearances for the Lakers in 2022-23 and should compete for a depth role this season.

Christie (hip) has been ruled out for Sunday's Summer League matchup with the Clippers, Mike Trudell of Spectrum SportsNet reports.
Christie played well for the Lakers throughout Summer League, posting averages of 19.0 points, 6.3 rebounds and 3.7 assists. He will have a battle for playing time during the regular season, but his play has been encouraging recently.

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.

Lakers' Max Christie: Managing right hip strain
Christie sustained a right hip strain during Wednesday's Summer League matchup against the Celtics and is considered day-to-day, Mike Trudell of Spectrum SportsNet reports.
Christie has played a prominent role over three Summer League appearances, averaging 19.0 points, 6.3 rebounds and 3.7 assists in 32.2 minutes per game. 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.

Lakers' Max Christie: Struggles with efficiency
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 scored 12 points (3-12 FG, 2-8 3PT, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, four assists, a steal and a block across 25 minutes of Wednesday's 114-95 win over the Charge.
Christie struggled to find his shooting stroke Wednesday, shooting 25 percent from the field and missing six of his eight three-point attempts. In four regular-season appearances, Christie has averaged 14.0 points and 5.8 rebounds across 29.0 minutes.

Lakers' Max Christie: Sent to G League
The Lakers assigned Christie to the G League's South Bay Lakers on Tuesday, Harrison Faigen of SBNation.com reports.
Christie hasn't had a regular spot in the rotation in February after he posted 4.8 points and 2.1 rebounds in 17.2 minutes across 14 January appearances. The Lakers have sent him down to the G League ahead of the All-Star break to get some extended run in to keep his game sharp.
