Won't return Thursday Christie will not return to Thursday's game against Denver due to a right ankle sprain, Mike Trudell of Spectrum SportsNet reports. He finished with seven points (2-7 FG, 2-3 3Pt,...

Impact Christie started this game in place of D'Angelo Russell (knee), so the Lakers are incredibly thin in the backcourt. In the second half, the Lakers could potentially turn to Maxwell Lewis to soak up some minutes.

Starting against Denver Christie will start Thursday's game against the Nuggets, Mike Trudell of Spectrum SportsNet reports.

Impact The Lakers are without D'Angelo Russell (knee), but he's considered day-to-day. In six starts this season, Christie averaged 6.7 points, 2.0 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 0.8 three-pointers.

Capitalizes on garbage time Christie registered seven points (3-6 FG, 1-2 3Pt), six rebounds, one assist and one block across 20 minutes during Monday's 135-119 loss to Houston.

Impact Christie entered Monday's contest averaging having compiled eight points on 2-for-10 shooting across 49 minutes in his last four games. Monday's relevant workload can more so be attributed to the nature of the contest then Christie stepping into an enlarged role, even in the absence of Cam Reddish (knee).

Quiet despite injured Reddish Christie produced three points (1-2 FG, 1-1 3Pt), three assists and one steal in 14 minutes during Saturday's 132-125 loss to Utah.

Impact Christie started the second half of Saturday's loss to Utah after Cam Reddish exited with knee soreness, but it translate to a meaningful workload. Christie entered Saturday's contest averaging 8.3 points and 4.8 rebounds in 22.2 minutes across his last six appearances, but D'Angelo Russell was leaned on instead, booming for 39 points in 41 minutes.

Solid numbers in Thursday's loss Christie contributed 14 points (4-8 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 5-6 FT), seven rebounds and four assists across 25 minutes during Thursday's 127-109 loss to Phoenix.

Impact Cam Reddish (knee) left the game at halftime, opening up minutes for bench players like Christie in the second half. The second-year guard has seen 20-plus minutes in five of his last seven games, a stretch in which he's averaging 8.6 points, 5.1 boards, 1.3 assists, 1.1 threes, 0.6 steals and 0.6 blocks in 22.4 minutes a night. Should Reddish's injury allow Christie to take on a larger role more consistently, he could put himself on the fantasy radar.

Gets opportunity in win Christie provided 10 points (3-4 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, three assists, two blocks and one steal over 24 minutes during Thursday's 133-112 victory over the Hornets.

Impact Christie's minutes were elevated in the absence of Cam Reddish (groin) -- the blowout win assisting as well. Thursday's performance was arguably Christie's best of the campaign, though he only set a season high in blocks. The sophomore mainly operates as a three-point threat for the Lakers, though he's just 15-for-46 (32.6 percent) on the season. In fantasy, Christie is more of a keeper league flier rather than a waiver wire pickup.

Retreats to bench Christie isn't starting Monday's game against the Knicks, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com reports.

Impact Christie received a chance to run with the first unit Friday in San Antonio, but he failed to do much with the opportunity, finishing with two points and one assist in 23 minutes. He'll return to a bench role with Cam Reddish cleared to play Monday evening.

DECEMBER 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Starting against Spurs Christie will draw the start Friday against the Spurs, Khobi Price of The Orange County Register reports.

Impact Cam Reddish is sitting out Friday's game with knee soreness, while D'Angelo Russell is also out with a migraine. Christie will get a big opportunity to showcase his talents Friday with the Lakers so shorthanded. In five total starts this season, Christie averaged 7.6 points, 2.4 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 1.0 three-pointers.

DECEMBER 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Moves to bench Christie will move back to the bench for Saturday's game against the Rockets.

Impact Cam Reddish is back from his groin injury and will reclaim his starting role for the Lakers. The Lakers are finally getting healthy for the most part, so Christie's minutes are likely to trend down.

Available to face OKC Christie (calf) is available to play against the Thunder on Thursday.

Impact Christie was deemed a game-time call due to a calf problem, but he has been listed as available enough to feature Thursday. That said, he shouldn't be anything more than a bench option for the Lakers.

NOVEMBER 30, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Iffy against Thunder Christie is listed as questionable for Thursday's game versus the Thunder due to a left calf contusion.

Impact 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.

NOVEMBER 30, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Remains in starting lineup Christie will start Wednesday's matchup against the Pistons, Dan Woike of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Impact Despite Cam Reddish (groin) being cleared to return from a three-game absence, Christie will remain in the starting lineup for a fourth straight game. Over his previous three starts, Christie has averaged 8.3 points, 3.3 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 27.3 minutes per game.

Starting sans Reddish Christie will start Wednesday's game against the Mavericks, Dan Woike of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Impact 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.

NOVEMBER 23, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

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.

Impact 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.

NOVEMBER 15, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

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.

Impact 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 once again once the team gets some of their other contributors back in action.

Impact Christie suffered a right hip strain during the Summer League 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.
