Christopher (foot) is listed as questionable and considered a game-time decision for Thursday's contest against the Spurs, Jackson Gatlin of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Christopher is dealing with a left foot contusion and will be a game-time call along with Kevin Porter (knee). Through 17 games this season, Christopher is averaging just 7.2 minutes per contest, but he could be in store for an uptick in playing time if he suits up and Porter doesn't.

Christopher is questionable to play in Thursday's matchup with the Spurs due to a left foot contusion.

EDGE Analysis

Christopher is only averaging 7.2 minutes across 17 games this season, so his potential absence shouldn't affect the Rockets' rotation much. Christopher's next chance to play will be Sunday's game against Milwaukee if he's ruled out Thursday.

Christopher (shoulder) is available for Friday's game against the Hawks.

EDGE Analysis

Christopher continues to see spot minutes with Houston. In 12 appearances, he's averaged 2.8 points and 1.4 rebounds in 7.8 minutes.

Christopher is listed as probable for Friday's game against Atlanta with a sore left shoulder.

EDGE Analysis

Christopher didn't even play in the Rockets' last game, so it's unclear when or how this issue surfaced. Either way, he'll probably be cleared for Friday's contest, though he's unlikely to see any meaningful minutes.

The Rockets exercised Christopher's $2.49 million team option for the 2023-24 season Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Christopher has had an inconsistent role early in the season, as he's averaged just 2.6 points in 7.4 minutes per game across five appearances. However, he was one of several Rockets to have their third-year options picked up Sunday.

Christopher closed with two points (1-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt) across four minutes during Monday's 114-108 win over Utah.

EDGE Analysis

Christopher has now been essentially cut from the rotation twice out of Houston's first four games. During his time on the court, Christopher has compiled 11 points (5-14 FG, 0-6 3Pt) across 36 minutes. The 20-year-old has been usurped by superior shooters in Daishen Nix and Garrison Matthews.

Christopher ended with 11 points (5-14 FG, 1-6 3Pt), seven rebounds, two steals and one assist in 23 minutes during Friday's victory over Indiana.

EDGE Analysis

Christopher was solid off the bench yet again and should enter the season with a regular rotation spot. His playing time could fluctuate slightly but given what we saw from him during his rookie campaign, it does appear as though the coaching staff views him as a meaningful piece. While he is certainly not on the fantasy radar when it comes to standard leagues, he is a name to watch, especially if his role increases at some point down the stretch.

Christopher posted 15 points (6-10 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 0-2 FT), four rebounds, four assists and a steal across 21 minutes off the bench in Sunday's 134-96 win over the Spurs.

EDGE Analysis

Christopher was one of five Houston players that scored in double digits in this game, and the role he fulfilled against the Spurs should be the same he'll have during the regular season -- a steady scoring threat off the bench. The second-year guard, who seems to be fully healthy after battling a hip injury before training camp, averaged 7.9 points, 2.5 rebounds and 2.0 assists in 18.0 minutes per game as a rookie.

Christopher (hip) is healthy and available for training camp, Ben DuBose of USA Today reports.

EDGE Analysis

Christopher picked up a hip injury during Summer League play, but as expected, he'll be good to go for training camp. As a rookie, the 6-foot-3 guard averaged 7.9 points, 2.5 rebounds and 2.0 assists in 18.0 minutes per game and figures to garner a similar role during the 2022-23 campaign.

The Rockets announced Wednesday that Christopher will be sidelined for the remainder of Las Vegas Summer League play due to a sore right hip, Danielle Lerner of the Houston Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

The second-year guard appeared in three games for the Rockets during the summer slate, averaging 19.7 points, 4.3 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 1.7 steals and 1.7 blocks across 26.8 minutes per contest. Christopher was already in good shape to enter the upcoming season as a rotation player for the Rockets, so his absence for the team's remaining summer schedule shouldn't affect his outlook heading into training camp.
