  • Lakers' Max Christie: Gets another chance to start

    Christie is starting Thursday's preseason game against the Bucks.

    Christie will start his second game of the preseason due to the absence of Austin Reaves (ankle) Thursday evening. Christie fared well in the opener with the first unit, recording 11 points, seven rebounds, two assists, one steal and two blocks in 34 minutes.

  • Lakers' Max Christie: Staying in L.A. on four-year deal

    Christie agreed Sunday with the Lakers on a four-year, $32 million deal, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

    After tending a qualifying offer to Christie, the Lakers had the right to match any offer the young guard might have received as a restricted free agent, but the two sides worked quickly to come to terms on a new deal. The 21-year-old appeared in 67 games (seven starts) in his second NBA season in 2023-24, averaging 4.2 points, 2.1 rebounds and 0.9 assists in 14.1 minutes. He fell out of the rotation during the postseason, but the Lakers' financial commitment to Christie likely suggests he's expected to become more of a key cog on the second unit in 2024-25.

  • Lakers' Max Christie: Gets qualifying offer

    The Lakers tendered a qualifying offer to Christie on Saturday, making him a restricted free agent, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.

    By extending Christie a qualifying offer, the Lakers will have the ability to match any offer the 21-year-old guard might receive from another team in free agency. The 21-year-old appeared in 67 regular-season games in his second NBA campaign in 2023-24, averaging 4.2 points, 2.1 rebounds and 0.9 assists across 14.1 minutes per game.

  • Lakers' Max Christie: Receives major minutes in return

    Christie (ankle) recorded nine points (3-8 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six assists, three rebounds, one steal and one block across 29 minutes Thursday in the Lakers' 128-110 loss to the Warriors.

    Back in action after missing the final three games before the All-Star break with a sprained right ankle, Christie ended up seeing his most minutes since the calendar flipped to 2024. He had been featured in the Lakers' rotation prior to suffering the injury, but Christie took on expanded minutes Thursday mainly as a result of LeBron James (ankle) missing the contest. James is expected to play Friday versus the Spurs, and Christie could also face a new threat for playing time in Cam Reddish (ankle), who could put an end to a 12-game absence.

  • Lakers' Max Christie: Available for Thursday

    Christie (ankle) is available for Thursday's game against the Warriors, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.

    Christie will shed his questionable tag, but Cam Reddish (ankle) will sit this one out. In Christie's last two appearances, he averaged 6.5 points, 2.5 rebounds and 1.0 three-pointers in 16.5 minutes.

  • Lakers' Max Christie: Gets questionable designation

    Christie (ankle) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Warriors, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com reports.

    Christie missed the Lakers' final three games before the All-Star break due to a sprained right ankle and is at risk of missing Thursday's contest as well. The game is the first leg of a back-to-back set, and Cam Reddish (ankle) is also questionable while LeBron James (ankle) has been ruled out, meaning that Christie could stumble into a larger workload if active.

  • Lakers' Max Christie: Out next two games

    Christie (ankle) won't be available Tuesday versus the Pistons or Wednesday versus the Jazz, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.

    After sitting out Friday's 139-122 win over the Pelicans with a right ankle sprain, Christie will remain sidelined through the All-Star break before being re-evaluated. Most of his vacated minutes will likely be assumed by Spencer Dinwiddie, who signed a one-year deal with the Lakers after clearing waivers over the weekend.

  • Lakers' Max Christie: Not playing Friday

    Christie (ankle) will not play in Friday's game against the Pelicans, Khobi Price of The Orange County Register reports.

    Christie underwent an MRI on his right ankle, but the Lakers are still waiting for the results. The good news for the Lakers is that D'Angelo Russell (knee) has been cleared to return to action Friday after sitting out Thursday's loss to Denver. Christie should be considered questionable to play for Tuesday's game against Detroit until the Lakers provide an update on his MRI.

  • Lakers' Max Christie: Unlikely to play Friday

    Christie (ankle) is doubtful for Friday's game against New Orleans.

    Christie suffered a right ankle sprain during Thursday's matchup against the Nuggets and will likely be forced to miss the second half of the back-to-back set. However, the Lakers' backcourt will likely get a boost since D'Angelo Russell (knee) is probable after missing Thursday's game.

  • Lakers' Max Christie: Leaves early with ankle sprain

    Christie won't 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, 1-2 FT), two rebounds, one assist and one steal in 15 minutes.

    Christie started the game in place of D'Angelo Russell (knee), but the Lakers will have to find a new replacement in the starting five if neither is able to play in the second half of a back-to-back set Friday versus the Pelicans.

  • Lakers' Max Christie: Starting against Denver

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