’ second-year wing Max Christie had himself a great summer league, solidifying in the eyes of many that he was ready to make the leap to a full-time rotation player. However, those minutes didn’t come due to a multitude of reasons, including the emergence of Cam Reddish.
All that being said, tides and opportunities turn quickly in the NBA. The tide has turned in the last week for Christie due to multiple injuries at the wing position, including Reddish missing games due to an adductor/groin issue and Rui Hachimura undergoing a procedure for a nasal fracture.
