Christie showcased his versatility when defending superstar Victor Wembanyama and also contributing effectively on both ends. Coach JJ Redick was full of appreciation for the youngster. “Really happy for Max, I told him if he played that way, I don’t wanna take you off the court. The way that he fronted Wembanyama just completely disrupted their half-court rhythm,” Redick said. He scored 11 points and also registered 1 assist and 3 rebounds to his name.

Well, being a rising star in the NBA comes with a lot of attention and Max Christie is no exception. His name has been attached with Indiana Hoosiers guard, Sydney Parrish and rumors suggest the two are involved in a romantic relationship.
