Like Jaxson Hayes, Christian Wood, D'Angelo Russell and Cam Reddish, Max Christie returns to the Lakers.
For the 21-year-old guard, it's a little different because it's a contract extension, not the activation of a “player option.” A four-year, $32 million extension, ESPN announcement !
We can certainly imagine that the contract is not completely guaranteed, but it remains a great mark of confidence on the part of the “Purple & Gold” franchise in the former Michigan State player.
Max Christie, whose brother Cam was just drafted by the Clippers, is coming off a sophomore season averaging 4.2 points and 2.1 rebounds in 14 minutes, which is hardly better than his rookie season, when he was announced as one of the surprises of the campaign on the Lakers side after a great Summer League.
