Joining first unit
Christie is starting Sunday's game against the Trail Blazers, Mike Trudell of Spectrum SportsNet reports. Christie will enter the starting lineup in place of Austin Reaves (pelvis), who was downgraded to out. Christie's last start dates back to Nov. 16 against the Pelicans, when he recorded two points, three rebounds, one assist, two steals and one block over 30 minutes.
Notches 12 points
Christie finished with 12 points (2-6 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 8-10 FT), five rebounds and two assists over 30 minutes during Sunday's 105-104 win over Utah. With Austin Reaves (pelvis), Cam Reddish (illness) and D'Angelo Russell (illness) all sidelined, Christie matched his season-best mark of 12 points, making the most of his newfound minutes. With the Lakers playing the Timberwolves on Monday for the second leg of a back-to-back set, Christie could be called upon once again if the team is shorthanded, but the status of the aforementioned three players has yet to be reported.
Back to bench Tuesday
Christie will come off the bench in Tuesday's game against the Jazz, Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com reports. The 25-year-old got the spot start in Saturday's win over the Pelicans with Cam Reddish (leg) sidelined. However, Christie will reprise his usual role off the bench Tuesday, and in his last five appearances off the bench he has averaged 4.8 points and 1.6 rebounds across 11.2 minutes per game.
Starting Saturday
Christie is in the Lakers' starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Pelicans, Mike Trudell of Spectrum SportsNet reports. Christie will make his first start of the 2024-25 regular season Saturday due to Rui Hachimura (ankle) and Cam Reddish (leg) both being sidelined. Christie's playing time has been inconsistent, but he did play 30 minutes off the bench against the Spurs on Friday and finished with 11 points, three rebounds, one assist, two steals and one block.
Returns to starting lineup
Christie will be in the starting lineup for Thursday's preseason game against the Suns, head coach JJ Redick told Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com. Christie will start in place of LeBron James, who will be rested for this matchup. Christie is expected to hold a steady role off the bench in the 2024-25 season for the Lakers.
Back to bench Tuesday
Christie will return to the bench for Tuesday's preseason game against the Warriors, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com reports. Christie started in place of Austin Reaves (ankle) versus Milwaukee on Thursday, but with Reaves returning, Christie will reassume his role amongst the second unit. However, coach JJ Redick said Tuesday that Reaves will be on a minutes restriction for precautionary reasons, according to Dan Woike of the Los Angeles Times, so Christie will likely still see heavy usage off the bench.
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.
Starts in preseason opener
Christie is starting in Friday's preseason game against the Timberwolves, Khobi Price of The Orange County Register reports. Christie will start in the preseason opener with LeBron James (rest) being held out. Christie will start alongside Jaxson Hayes, D'Angelo Russell, Rui Hachimura and Austin Reaves.
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.
