Cam Reddish left early in Tuesday night's game vs. Utah, he will be out again tonight against the Mavericks, Ham has his starting replacement ready

Not Austin Reaves returning to the starting five, but coach Darvin Ham has a new starter in mind to replace Cam Reddish, and is a shocking revelation for fans after he hasn't been playing enough so far in the campaign.

With information per ESPN's Dave McMenamin: "Max Christie will start in Reddish's place tonight against DAL, per Darvin." This comes after the news of Reddish being out for tonight's match.

Cam is still experiencing soreness in his groin and will miss tonight's game against the Mavs, coach Ham says that Reddish aggravated a previous groin injury but that an MRI examination today came back "clean" and that Reddish's injury is "not severe" as the team initially worried. He'll be day-to-day moving forward.

Max Christie will be having his opportunity, despite not having many playing minutes during the first 15 games of the campaign, the sophomore guard now will have the chance to shine as the team's shooting guard starter.

Austin Reaves will continue to have a coming-off-the-bench role

Ham isn't changing what has worked so far, making Reaves the main playmaker for the team's second unit was the right call and now the team has been benefiting from that and Reaves will continue to lead coming off the bench.
