Christopher (knee) was waived Tuesday, Jazz announcer David Locke reports. He will continue to get paid until he is deemed healthy, but the Jazz needed to clear a spot on the roster, so Christopher was cut loose.

Christopher (knee) could miss 6-to-8 weeks, the Salt Lake Tribune's Tony Jones reports. If there are torn ligaments, he could be out even longer, and the Jazz will need an MRI to determine that. After getting the spot start for the injured Rodney Hood (heel), Christopher left Friday's game with a dislocated right knee cap. Considering Hood is expected to miss 1-to-2 weeks, and Alec Burks is out for the season, Dante Exum (who scored a career-high 13 points Friday) and Joe Ingles should see plenty of run at the two over the coming weeks.

Christopher left Friday's game with a dislocated right knee cap and will not return, Jazz announcer David Locke reports. He had received a spot start with Rodney Hood out at least a week, but now it sounds like Christopher will also miss at least a few games. Dante Exum and Joe Ingles figure to see the bulk of the minutes at the two in the meantime.

Christopher will start at shooting guard Friday, the Deseret News' Jody Genessy reports. Rodney Hood (heel) and Alec Burks (surgery) are both out Friday, opening up a spot in the starting lineup for Christopher. He likely won't see starter's minutes, as Joe Ingles and Dante Exum should both outpace him off the bench.

Christopher has yet to make an appearance on the court for Utah after being acquired on Dec. 10. Christopher may have been sought after by the Jazz organization but that certainly doesn't mean that he'll play a role in coach Quin Snyder's rotation. It's highly unlikely that the rookie will see significant minutes on the court this season as a limited guard who is considered to be the last man off Utah's bench.

Christopher signed with the Jazz on Wednesday, NBA.com reports. Christopher, a two-time All-Pac 12 performer at Cal, started seven games for the Iowa Energy this season, averaging 15.0 points, 3.3 rebounds and 2.0 assists. The 26-year-old spent training camp with the Grizzlies before being waived in late-October. He's a former teammate of Rudy Gobert, having played with the big man in France during the 2011-12 season. The signing of Christopher brings Utah's roster to 15 players.

Christopher agreed to terms with the Memphis Grizzlies on a non-guaranteed contract back in July, Basket-infos.com reports. Christopher has received an invite to training camp, but given that the Grizzlies recently signed Jarnell Stokes and have 15 players under contract for next season, it seems unlikely he'll make the roster. Still, even if he were to make the squad, it's even more unlikely that he'll be worth targeting in fantasy.

Patrick Christopher has agreed to a non-guaranteed contract with the Grizzlies. He had a similar deal with the Bulls last season and is now the 14th player on Memphis' roster. Christopher was named the D-League Performer of the Week back in April and will definitely get a camp invite in October. The 6'5" shooting guard is off the fantasy radar.
