Christie, a 6-5 guard out of Minnesota, appeared in 55 games for the Clippers last season but stayed on the fringe of the rotation. He averaged 8.7 minutes, 2.8 points, 1.4 rebounds and 0.6 assists, shooting 38.1% from the field, 24.5% from three and 76.0% from the line. His true shooting sat at 48.4% with a 16.8 usage rate, and his plus-minus was -0.2. Those are backup-of-the-backup numbers, and they go a long way toward explaining why his roster spot was in question heading into year two.

Reports on Oct. 14 say the Clippers are now waiving him. He was not dealing with any injury at the time and is not on the injury report.
