Nursing ankle sprain Christie is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Milwaukee due to a left ankle sprain.

Impact Christie may have picked up the injury during the Mavericks' 116-110 loss to the Lakers on Saturday, when he tallied 24 points, three assists, two rebounds and one steal over 35 minutes. Cooper Flagg (ankle) is listed as doubtful, so Jaden Hardy, Ryan Nembhard and D'Angelo Russell would be in line for even larger roles if Christie is unable to play Sunday.

Hits for team-high 24 in loss Christie supplied 24 points (8-18 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 4-4 FT), two rebounds, three assists and one steal in 35 minutes during Saturday's 116-110 loss to the Lakers.

Impact The 24 points led the Mavs on the night, as Christie put together a strong revenge game against the team that traded him last season. The fourth-year guard has topped 20 points in four straight contests since returning from a two-game absence due to an illness, averaging 23.3 points, 5.0 threes, 3.5 boards, 2.8 assists and 1.0 steals over that span.

Good to go against Utah Christie (illness) is available for Saturday's game against the Jazz, Mike Curtis of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Impact Christie has missed the Mavericks' last two games while battling an illness, and the fourth-year wing has progressed enough in his recovery to return Saturday. It's a much-needed boost for the Mavericks given that they will be without starters Cooper Flagg (ankle), Daniel Gafford (ankle) and P.J. Washington (personal). Over his last eight starts, Christie has averaged 15.4 points, 4.1 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 2.6 threes over 31.5 minutes per game.

Over his last nine contests, Christie has averaged 15.1 points, 4.3 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 2.4 three-pointers in 31.7 minutes per game. Brandon Williams is likely to revert back to bench against the Jazz.
