MAX CHRISTIE NEWS

Sent back to G League The Lakers assigned Christie to the South Bay Lakers of the G League on Thursday, Harrison Faigen of SBNation.com reports.

Impact Christie played seven minutes in Wednesday's win over the Heat. However, with Lonnie Walker (knee) and LeBron James (illness) unlikely to miss extended time, Christie should see more playing time in South Bay.

Set to return Friday Christie (COVID-19) has cleared health and safety protocols and is expected to be available for Friday's game versus the Spurs, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

Won't play Tuesday Christie (COVID-19 protocols) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Suns, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com reports.

Not playing Sunday Christie (COVID-19 protocols) remains out for Sunday's game against the Spurs.

Impact Christie missed Friday's game against the Pistons and is now set to be out for a second straight contest as he's in the league's health and safety protocols. His next chance to play will come Tuesday at Phoenix, but given the short span between games, it wouldn't be shocking if he misses a few more games while he regains his conditioning.

Sitting out Friday Christie (COVID-19 protocols) is out for Friday's meeting with the Pistons, NBA writer Marc Stein reports.

Impact Christie was put into the league's health and safety protocols Wednesday and has failed to clear them in time for Friday's game against the Pistons. Matt Ryan and Juan Toscano-Anderson (back) should be in line for expanded roles while Christie's next chance to take the floor will come Sunday against the Spurs.

Sent back to G League The Lakers assigned Christie to the South Bay Lakers of the G League on Friday, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com reports.

Impact Christie has played in two games this season and averaged 2.5 points, 1.0 rebounds and 0.5 assists in 2.5 minutes. The second-round rookie will receive more opportunities to play for the South Bay Lakers.

NOVEMBER 4, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Called up by Lakers The Lakers have re-called Christie from South Bay ahead of Sunday's game against the Nuggets, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com reports.

Impact The Lakers will have several absences Sunday and are likely to be shorthanded when it comes to depth, but Christie figures to be nothing more than a deep bench alternative while he stays with Los Angeles. He shouldn't see heavy minutes and could be re-assigned to the G-League affiliate rather quickly.

Returns to bench Tuesday Christie is not in the starting lineup for Tuesday's season opener against the Warriors, Dan Woike of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Impact Christie will move back to the bench after starting and playing 21 minutes in the Lakers' preseason finale. It's unclear how much playing time the 2022 second-round pick will receive in the regular season, so Tuesday's game should be a good indicator of his role going forward.

Rejoin starting five Friday Christie is in the starting lineup for Friday's preseason finale versus the Kings, Mike Trudell of the Lakers' official site reports.

Impact Friday's game will mark Christie's third start for the Lakers this preseason. While it is unlikely that Christie will remain the starter once the regular season rolls around, Lakers coach Darvin Ham clearly does not have a set lineup in mind. The rookie out of Michigan State certainly has a chance to see significant minutes this season.

Moves back to bench Wednesday Christie will not start in Wednesday's preseason matchup with the Timberwolves, Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Christie has started the last two preseason games for the Lakers. On Sunday, he tallied seven points, five rebounds, one assist and one block in 29 minutes. However, with the Lakers' typical starters returning, Christie will likely move back to a reserve role for the regular season.

OCTOBER 13, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Joins starting five Thursday Christie will start Thursday's preseason game against the Timberwolves.

Impact With several of the Lakers' marquee names resting Thursday, Christie will make his first (preseason) NBA start after he was selected by the Lakers with the No. 35 pick in the 2022 Draft. Rounding out the Lakers' starting five will be Austin Reaves, Scotty Pippen, Wenyen Gabriel and Thomas Bryant.
