Los Angeles Lakers guard Max Christie (ankle) is expected to return after the upcoming All-Star break.
The Lakers have a pair of games remaining before next week's All-Star break, but Christie is unlikely to suit up for either as he continues to recover from his ankle injury.
The second-year guard has shown signs of improvement while playing more often than he did as a rookie, starting in 7 of his 43 games. He is averaging 10.6 points, 5.5 rebounds, and 2.1 assists per 36 minutes.
