The Los Angeles Clippers waive guard Cam Christie and then bring him back shortly afterward on a two-way contract, according to multiple reports. Christie clears waivers on Friday and returns for what would be his third NBA season.
Outlets describe the move as creating short-term roster flexibility. NDTV reports Christie is waived ahead of a $2.3 million salary guarantee, which had been set to become guaranteed. Other coverage notes that Christie is 21 and that no other teams claim him after he is placed on waivers. Times of India adds that the Clippers have been impressed by his defensive abilities and that he appeared in 55 games last season, averaging 2.8 points.
While the coverage is brief and largely report-based, the shared details are the waiver, the lack of claims, the two-way re-signing, and the timing around the pending salary guarantee.
