Christopher finished with 17 points (7-16 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, three assists, two blocks and four steals across 28 minutes off the bench during Sunday's 119-118 loss to Washington.
EDGE Analysis
With Tyler Herro, Bam Adebayo and other key Heat players resting ahead of the Play-In Tournament, Christopher saw a season-high workload and turned it into a season-best scoring effort. The third-year guard will likely return to the end of Miami's bench in the postseason.

Christopher posted 29 points (10-24 FG, 6-17 3Pt, 2-4 FT), 10 rebounds, five assists, one steal and one block over 31 minutes in Saturday's 113-102 G League win over Osceola.
EDGE Analysis
Christopher did it all for Sioux Falls in Saturday's G League contest, leading all players in scoring and threes made while reaching double figures in rebounds en route to a double-double performance. Christopher has appeared in 19 G League games this season, averaging 25.7 points, 5.9 rebounds, 4.6 assists and 2.3 steals per contest.

Christopher recorded five points (2-2 FG, 1-2 FT), three assists and one block over 14 minutes during Saturday's 136-100 loss to the Jazz.
EDGE Analysis
The two-way player has spent most of the season in the G League with the Sioux Falls Skyforce, but he's now seen action in two straight games for Miami, with both appearances coming at the tail end of blowout losses. Even with Jimmy Butler in the midst of serving a seven-game suspension, Christopher likely won't crack head coach Erik Spoelstra's rotation in the near future.

Christopher (toe) isn't on the injury report for Wednesday's game versus the Magic.
EDGE Analysis
Christopher is good to go for Miami's regular-season opener despite missing Monday's practice with a right big toe contusion. However, Christopher is unlikely to receive significant playing time.

Christopher missed Monday's practice due to a right big toe contusion, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
EDGE Analysis
Christopher's status for Wednesday's game against the Magic has yet to be determined, so fantasy managers should consider him questionable. However, Christopher is on a two-way contract with Miami and isn't guaranteed to crack the rotation on Opening Night, even if he's available.

Christopher supplied 17 points (6-11 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT), four assists, three rebounds and four steals over 22 minutes in Friday's 114-109 preseason win over the Grizzlies.
EDGE Analysis
With the Heat resting their starters, Christopher saw extended playing time off the bench Friday. He took advantage of the opportunity by leading the Heat in scoring, and he also contributed on the defensive end of the floor with four steals. Christopher signed a two-way contract with the Heat in July, and he'll likely spend most of the 2024-25 regular season in the G League with the Sioux Falls Skyforce.

EDGE Analysis
Christopher last made an NBA appearance in 2022-23, when he averaged 5.8 points, 1.1 rebounds and 1.1 assists in 12.3 minutes across 64 contests for the Rockets. After being named the 2024 Summer League Finals MVP, Christopher is now set to split time between the Heat and their G League affiliate in 2024-25.

Christopher tallied 24 points (9-17 FG, 6-10 3Pt), four rebounds, one assist, three steals and two blocks in 31 minutes during Monday's Summer League Championship Game against the Grizzlies.
EDGE Analysis
Christopher was named the 2024 NBA Summer League Finals MVP following his stellar showing from beyond the arc. He led the Heat with 24 points and showed up on the defensive end to help secure a 120-118 overtime victory. The 22-year-old guard was waived by the Jazz in January and will now look to sign an NBA deal following his solid play in Summer League.

Christopher recorded 23 points (8-11 FG, 6-8 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three rebounds, two assists and one steal across 21 minutes during Monday's 102-73 Summer League win over the Thunder.
EDGE Analysis
Christopher did the majority of his damage from beyond the arc, drilling six of eight tries to account for 18 of his 23 points. He easily paced the bench in scoring and did so in limited minutes. Christopher should have another opportunity to showcase his scoring ability Wednesday against the Mavs.

Christopher was waived by the Jazz on Monday, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.
EDGE Analysis
Christopher was cut loose by Utah without logging an NBA minute for the franchise. He was moderately efficient but turnover-prone at the G League level this season, though he remains a candidate to re-sign with Salt Lake City barring other opportunities. Christopher turned 22 years old in December.
