What happened: LA Clippers head coach Tyronn Lue stated Saturday that guard Cam Christie will receive an opportunity to play after rejoining the franchise on a two-way contract. Christie returned to the club on Oct. 16 after clearing waivers following his Oct. 14 release.

Why it matters: The move keeps the 21-year-old 2024 second-round pick in the Clippers' developmental system while freeing a standard roster spot ahead of the 2026-27 season. With Lue still finalizing the rest of his starting lineup alongside center Isaiah Jackson, Christie stays in the backcourt depth mix.

What to watch: Watch how Lue distributes Christie's minutes between the NBA rotation and two-way assignments as the Clippers open the 2026-27 campaign.
