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.

Christopher registered two points (1-2 FG) across six minutes during Sunday's 108-91 loss to Cleveland.
EDGE Analysis
Christopher played just six minutes in the loss, the fewest he has played in almost two weeks. Despite playing somewhat consistent minutes, Christopher is outside the top 300 over the past two weeks, begging the question of why head coach Stephen Silas refuses to play TyTy Washington. Questionable coaching decisions aside, Christopher remains well off the radar, outside of the deepest of leagues.
