The 21-year-old guard cleared waivers and is back with the club that drafted the Minnesota product in 2024. It is a quick reversal for a player who appeared in 55 games last season and enters a third year in Los Angeles. No other team claimed the 6-foot-5 guard, so Los Angeles was free to sign Christie again on new terms. Los Angeles took Christie 46th overall in 2024, the 16th selection of the second round. 4 of that year, and the career total is 68 NBA games.
Coach Ty Lue singled out Christie’s “elite defense” last season, and the two-way contract keeps that skill in the organization. The Los Angeles Clippers have brought Cam Christie back on a two-way contract, just days after waiving him. Defense is what Christie is known for, and the Clippers clearly still value it. The new deal arrives with opening week around the corner. Clearing waivers made the reunion possible. The debut came on Dec.
ESPN’s Shams Charania reported the agreement on Friday. Charania reported both moves, the waiver early in the week and the new contract on Friday.
