Just as the Lakers looked to be getting completely healthy for the first time this season, another hit came on Wednesday. Rookie Max Christie entered health and safety protocols on Wednesday morning, the latest Laker that looks set to miss time.
Christie had actually entered the Lakers rotation in recent contests, largely due to the Lakers injury issues. After most assumed Christie would be brought along slowly this season, he has impressed in his limited action.
Over the last four games, Christie has played 20.2 minutes per contest, averaging 4.5 points per game while shooting 5-10 from the 3-point line.
