Impact The sophomore guard has barely seen the floor with 3.3 mpg this season, but it appears he'll be available for these types of late-game situations moving forward.

Not available vs. California Christopher (undisclosed) will not play in Thursday's game against California, Doug Haller of The Athletic reports.
Impact Christopher missed the Sun Devils first two games with a thumb injury before making his season debut Nov. 29 against Houston Baptist. It's unclear if the sophomore's absence Thursday is related to the previous injury. He will look to return Dec. 10 against San Diego State.

Takes court Sunday Christopher (thumb) recorded two points (1-5 FG, 0-2 3Pt), one rebound and one assist over 10 minutes in Sunday's 100-77 win over Houston Baptist.

Remains sidelined Thursday Christopher (thumb) didn't appear in Thursday's loss to Villanova.
Impact Christopher didn't take the court for a second consecutive game. However, it's still not clear whether his absence is related to his preseason thumb injury. Once the sophomore is healthy enough to return, he should play a minor role for the Sun Devils. Christopher's next chance to suit up will be Sunday against Houston Baptist.

Sits season opener Christopher (thumb) did not take the court Wednesday against Rhode Island.
Impact The Sun Devils utilized 10 different players in the 94-88 victory against URI, but Christopher was not one of them. It's unclear if he's just not part of the rotation, or simply hasn't had enough time to come back from the thumb injury that he dealt with over the offseason. His next chance to make an appearance will come Thanksgiving Day against either Boston College or Villanova.

Nearing return from thumb injury Christopher (thumb) remains 2-3 weeks from a return, Doug Haller of the Athletic reports.
Impact Christopher has an uphill battle for playing time on a unit loaded with talented guards, especially if his target for a return to practice falls right around the time of the season opener. Arizona State begins its season with a tough matchup against Baylor on Nov. 25 in the Empire Classic, but it seems unlikely Christopher would be immediately available for that matchup.

Recovering from thumb surgery Christopher recently underwent surgery on his thumb according to coach Bobby Hurley, Doug Haller of The Athletic reports.
Impact The recovery period for this surgery is roughly 6-8 weeks, meaning there's a chance he might miss a couple games to start the season, but it shouldn't keep him out too long. Christopher will try to carve out a spot in the rotation when he returns.
