Clippers' Cam Christie: Plays garbage time in Sunday's win
Rotowire
Christie (elbow) played the final 27 seconds of Sunday's 116-102 win over the Lakers, scoring one point (1-2 FT) and recording no other statistics.
A rookie second-round pick, Christie had most recently seen action with the G League's San Diego Clippers, though he sat out the affiliate's 110-109 loss to the Capital City Go-Go on Thursday with an elbow issue. The injury apparently wasn't significant, as the Clippers recalled him and made him available for Sunday's contest with the Lakers. Though Christie hasn't been a regular part of the NBA rotation this season, he was summoned from the bench in the final minute Sunday so that he could share the floor with his older brother, Lakers wing Max Christie. The younger Christie will likely be headed back to the G League in the near future.

Clippers' Cam Christie: Goes to Clippers at No. 46
Rotowire
Christie was selected by the Clippers with the 46th overall pick in the 2024 NBA Draft.
The freshman out of Minnesota is the brother of current Lakers wing Max Christie. The rookie is essentially a pure shooter, though he has defensive upside as well. Christie struggles to score inside and doesn't take contact well, but he can make threes off movement and has good enough vision to keep his teammates involved.
