Justin Champagnie Injury News & Updates

Champagnie had 16 points (6-9 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-3 FT), five rebounds, three assists, three blocks and one steal over 32 minutes during Saturday's 131-116 loss to the Hawks.

Champagnie made the most of what was just his fifth start of the season, scoring a season-high 16 points, while also adding four combined steals and blocks. Much like his brother, Champagnie has the ability to rack up numbers when afforded meaningful playing time. In four games over the past week, he has averaged 12.0 points, 6.8 rebounds, 1.0 steals, 1.5 blocks and 1.0 three-pointers, good enough for top 60 value. While this could fall off a cliff at any point, he could be worth a look in the short-term, even in 12-team leagues.

Champagnie will start against the Hawks on Saturday.

With Khris Middleton (knee) sidelined, Champagnie will get the starting nod for the fifth time this season. In his previous four starts, the 24-year-old forward averaged 7.3 points and 4.8 rebounds across 18.0 minutes per contest. However, he'll likely see a bump in minutes due to Bilal Coulibaly (oblique) and Corey Kispert (thumb) remaining on the shelf.

Champagnie isn't starting Thursday against Boston, per Josh Robbins of The Athletic.

The Wizards are instead offering two-way player Jamir Watkins an opportunity to start. Champagnie has averaged 2.8 points, 3.2 rebounds and 0.9 assists in 10.1 minutes per tilt over 14 games off the bench this season.

Champagnie chipped in 13 points (3-9 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 5-5 FT), seven rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal over 24 minutes during Tuesday's 121-102 loss to Philadelphia.

Champagnie moved into the starting lineup for just the fourth time this season, filling in for Khris Middleton, who was resting on the second night of a back-to-back. Champagnie responded by scoring a season-high 13 points, tallying double digits for the second consecutive game. Despite his recent uptick, there is no reason to consider him anything but a situational streaming option.

Champagnie is starting in Tuesday's game against the 76ers.

The Pittsburgh product is drawing the start for the resting Khris Middleton. For the campaign, Champagnie has averaged 3.2 points, 3.4 rebounds and 0.8 assists 11.2 minutes per contest in 17 games.

Champagnie totaled 10 points (5-8 FG, 0-1 3Pt), eight rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one steal across 19 minutes during Monday's 129-126 win over the Bucks.

In addition to his near double-double, Champagnie also recorded two blocks and a steal, showcasing his two-way abilities. With the multitude of injuries taking out Washington's wing depth, Champagnie will likely continue his role off the bench and could be an intriguing add in deeper leagues.

Champagnie contributed four points (2-3 FG, 0-1 3Pt), five rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal across 17 minutes during Tuesday's 132-113 victory over the Hawks.

Champagnie filled the stat sheet Tuesday, but his efforts were not necessary to victory as the game seemed to be over in the third quarter. With the Wizards already dealing with the absences of Kyshawn George (illness), Tre Johnson (hip) and now Corey Kispert (thumb), Champagnie may be asked to take on an increased role if any of these players are unable to suit up Friday against the Pacers.

Champagnie is coming off the bench in Monday's game against Washington.

Khris Middleton will return to the starting lineup, pushing Champagnie to the second unit. Champagnie has averaged 3.1 points, 3.7 rebounds and 0.4 assists in 9.8 minutes per contest over nine games this season.

Champagnie will start in Saturday's game against the Mavericks.

With Khris Middleton (knee) sidelined, Champagnie will get the starting nod for the third time in the Wizards' last four games. Over two starts this season, the 24-year-old forward has averaged 8.0 points and 3.5 rebounds in 18.0 minutes per contest.

Champagnie finished Friday's 148-114 loss to the Cavaliers with six points (1-6 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 11 rebounds, two assists and two steals over 19 minutes.

Champagnie shifted back to a bench role Friday after starting Washington's previous two matchups, but he still managed to contribute. He led the team in rebounds and accounted for two of his team's five steals in the blowout loss. Despite a strong night on the glass, Champagnie hasn't been able to show that he's worth rostering in most league formats through his first eight appearances of the season.

Champagnie will return to the bench for Friday's game against the Cavs.

Champagnie started Monday's game with Khris Middleton (elbow) unavailable, but Middleton is back in action Friday night, which will shift Champagnie back to his reserve role. Champagnie is averaging 3.1 points and 2.4 rebounds this season.

Champagnie logged four points (1-3 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound and one assist over 17 minutes during the Wizards' 119-102 loss to the Knicks on Monday.

Champagnie was inserted into the Wizards' starting lineup for the first time this season due to the absence of Khris Middleton (elbow). Champagnie ended up playing a season-high 17 minutes during Monday's loss but wasn't able to convert that additional playing time into much production on the box score, and his minus-24 point differential was second worst on the Wizards behind Kyshawn George (minus-25). Middleton is considered day-to-day with his injury and could be available for Wednesday's game against the Celtics, which would revert Champagnie to a reserve role.

Champagnie is starting Monday's game against the Knicks.

Champagnie will join the first unit due to the absence of Khris Middleton (elbow). Champagnie is averaging 1.5 points and 2.5 rebounds in 5.3 minutes over four appearances this season, so he should receive more opportunities to make an impact Monday night.

Champagnie will come off the bench in Thursday's preseason game against the Pistons.

Champagnie got a spot-start his last time out with the Wizards resting some key players, but he'll return to a minimal reserve role for Thursday's exhibition. He's not a guy we'd recommend targeting in the vast majority of leagues.

Champagnie will start in Monday's preseason game against the Knicks.

With Khris Middleton (rest) sidelined in the second leg of the team's back-to-back set, Champagnie will get the starting nod. The 24-year-old forward is coming off a career-best year in 2024-25, during which he averaged 8.8 points, 5.7 rebounds, 1.0 assists and 1.0 steals across 21.6 minutes per game in 62 regular-season appearances (31 starts).

Champagnie provided 27 points (11-16 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 0-2 FT), four rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one steal across 39 minutes during Sunday's 119-118 win over the Heat.

Making his 11th straight start to close out the season, Champagnie scored at least 20 points for the third time in the last four games and delivered his best scoring effort since he dropped a career-high 31 on the Knicks in late December. The 23-year-old forward is already on his third NBA team in four seasons, but he may have put himself in the Wizards' 2025-26 plans with his finish to the current campaign -- over that 11-game starting stint, Champagnie averaged 14.6 points, 9.0 boards, 1.9 threes, 1.5 steals and 1.1 assists while shooting 57.5 percent from the floor and 42.0 percent from beyond the arc.

Champagnie produced 22 points (9-15 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 14 rebounds, one assist, one block and three steals in 38 minutes during Friday's 119-89 loss to Chicago.

Champagnie's team-high 22 points and 14 rebounds during Friday's blowout loss helped him record his fourth consecutive double-double. Across Champagnie's 30 starts this season, he is averaging 11.9 points, 8.2 rebounds, 1.5 steals and 1.0 assists in 29.7 minutes while shooting 53.0 percent from the field and 38.7 percent from three.

Champagnie closed Wednesday's 122-103 loss to Philadelphia with 14 points (5-12 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 12 rebounds, one assist, one block and two steals over 38 minutes.

Champagnie logged a double-double Wednesday, pulling down a team-high 12 boards in the process. With Khris Middleton (ankle) appearing unlikely to play again in 2024-25, Champagnie looks to be locked into a starting role for Washington's final two outings. Champagnie has averaged 12.4 points, 9.0 rebounds, 1.4 steals and 1.4 three-pointers in 29.5 minutes through his last nine games in the first unit.

Champagnie closed Tuesday's 104-98 loss to the Pacers with 20 points (8-13 FG, 4-6 3Pt) and 13 rebounds across 35 minutes.

Champagnie recorded a double-double for the second consecutive contest, and the former Pittsburgh standout has been making an impact either as a scorer or as a rebounder. He's notched three double-doubles over his last eight outings, averaging 12.3 points and 8.6 rebounds per game in that span.

Champagnie totaled 15 points (6-11 FG, 3-5 3Pt), 13 rebounds, one assist and two steals in 37 minutes during Sunday's 124-90 loss to the Celtics.

Champagnie was one of the few bright spots for Washington, recording his fifth double-double of the season in the process. He continues to trend in the right direction from a fantasy perspective, posting ninth-round value in nine-category formats over his last eight games with 9.8 points, 7.6 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 1.4 steals and 1.1 three-pointers.

Champagnie registered eight points (4-8 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 0-2 FT), 11 rebounds, three assists, one block and two steals over 30 minutes during Wednesday's 116-111 win over the Kings.

Champagnie finished just two points away from recording a double-double, but he made a huge impact in other areas. The 11 boards were just the fifth time he grabbed 10 or more rebounds in a game, and it was also the eighth time he recorded three or more steals-plus-blocks combined. Champagnie has started in 10 of his last 12 appearances, averaging 9.0 points, 7.5 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 1.4 steals per game over that span.

Champagnie finished Wednesday's 119-114 victory over the 76ers with 18 points (7-12 FG, 4-6 3Pt), 10 rebounds, one assist and one steal across 22 minutes.

Champagnie got his sixth start of the season Wednesday, leading all Washington players in rebounds while connecting on a team-high-tying mark from three and concluding with a double-double performance. Champagnie posted his fourth double-double of the year, doing so in two of his last six contests.

Champagnie is in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the 76ers.

The Wizards are tweaking their first unit once again and Champagnie will make his sixth start across Washington's last eight games. He's averaging 11.1 points, 7.5 rebounds and 1.4 steals per game when deployed in a starting role this season (20 starts).

Champagnie is coming off the bench in Monday's game against Toronto, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.

With Khris Middleton (ankle) back in action, Champagnie will head back to the bench. Champagnie has averaged 7.5 points, 5.5 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.0 blocks in 19.0 minutes over six games off the bench this month.

Champagnie will be in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Magic.

Champagnie will make his 19th start of the 2024-25 campaign for the Wizards on Friday. As a starter, the 23-year-old forward is averaging 11.8 points, 7.9 rebounds, 1.1 assists and 1.5 steals per game, shooting 52.2 percent from the floor and 39.2 percent from beyond the arc.

Champagnie is not in the starting lineup for Monday's game against Portland.

The Wizards will give AJ Johnson a chance in the first unit, likely translating to lesser streaming appeal for Champagnie in fantasy leagues. Through his last eight appearances off the bench, Champagnie has averaged 6.4 points, 5.1 rebounds, 1.1 assists, 0.9 steals and 0.9 blocks in 15.9 minutes.

Champagnie totaled 16 points (6-10 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 13 rebounds, two assists and two steals across 39 minutes during Saturday's 126-123 victory over the Nuggets.

Champagnie recorded his third double-double on the season Saturday, with his last double-double coming in a loss to the Knicks on Dec. 28. The 23-year-old forward has started in three consecutive contests, and he'll likely stick around in the starting five due to Bilal Coulibaly (hamstring) being sidelined. Coulibaly is unlikely to return this season, meaning Champagnie is expected to continue receiving a significant role. Over his last five outings (three starts), the fourth-year pro has averaged 8.8 points, 7.8 rebounds, 1.6 steals and 1.2 assists across 26.2 minutes per contest.

Champagnie ended Thursday's 129-125 win over Detroit with 17 points (6-9 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), nine rebounds, one assist and three steals over 33 minutes.

Champagnie, who started once again for the injured Bilal Coulibaly (hamstring), put together an impressive display Thursday. Coulibaly is likely done for the season, making Champagnie a potential fantasy pickup to monitor. Over his last 10 games, Champagnie has returned top-150 value in nine-category formats with 7.4 points, 6.3 rebounds, 1.1 assists, 1.0 steals, 0.9 blocks and 1.1 three-pointers in just 21.4 minutes.

Champagnie recorded five points (2-8 FG, 1-4 3Pt), eight rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal across 31 minutes during Tuesday's 123-103 loss to the Pistons.

Champagnie moved into the starting lineup but failed to make an impression, scoring single digits for the fourth time in the past five games. Outside of a brief period of relevance earlier in the season, Champagnie has been nothing more than a role player for the Wizards. To this point, he is averaging just 7.4 points and 4.7 rebounds in 18.6 minutes per game.

Champagnie is starting against the Pistons on Tuesday.

Champagnie will make his 16th start of the season. He's been alternating between the first unit and the bench, but he remains a solid fantasy option in most formats. He's averaging 11.6 points and 7 5 boards per game in a starting role.

Champagnie recorded six points (3-9 FG, 0-2 3Pt), nine rebounds, two assists, two steals and two blocks in 24 minutes in Monday's 119-104 loss to the Raptors.

Champagnie shot inefficiently, but stuffed the stat sheet with active hands and by crashing the glass. In his last 12 games, the 23-year-old is averaging 6.8 points and 5.0 rebounds in 17.0 minutes per game. The 2021 undrafted free agent had his two-way contract converted to a four-year deal March 2.

The Wizards signed Champagnie to a four-year, $10 million deal Sunday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

Champagnie will remain with the Wizards on a long-term deal in the midst of a career-best year, during which he has averaged 7.5 points and 4.6 rebounds in 18.3 minutes per game over 40 regular-season appearances (15 starts). The 23-year-old has logged 15 outings with double-digit points to go along with two double-doubles during the 2024-25 campaign. He has also shot 50.7 percent from the field and 37.6 percent from beyond the arc this season.

Champagnie finished with 10 points (4-6 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), eight rebounds, two assists, three blocks and two steals over 22 minutes during Saturday's 113-100 win over the Hornets.

Champagnie didn't stand out in any particular category, but he delivered a solid all-around showing, filling the stat sheet admirably and recording at least two tallies in each of the five major categories. Champagnie has logged double-digit minutes in his last four appearances, including the last three off the bench, but he's not going to have a lot of fantasy upside outside of the deeper formats if that role doesn't change in the near future.

Champagnie is not in the Wizards' starting lineup against the Nets on Monday.

Champagnie made his 15th start of the season Sunday against the Magic and finished with six points, six rebounds and one block over 31 minutes in a 110-90 loss. Champagnie will retreat to the bench for Monday's game due to Khris Middleton (ankles) being cleared to play.

Champagnie is in the Wizards' starting lineup against the Magic on Sunday, Josh Robbins of The Athletic reports.

Champagnie will make his 15th start of the season Sunday due to the absence of Khris Middleton (ankle). As a starter, Champagnie has averaged 12.0 points, 7.6 rebounds, 1.1 assist and 1.5 steals over 28.9 minutes per game.

Champagnie (head) is not on the injury report for Friday's game against the Bucks.

Champagnie is not listed on the injury report after suffering a fall in the Wizards' final game before the All-Star break. He's good to go Friday, though it's uncertain if he'll see a lot of playing time.

Champagnie has been ruled out for the remainder of Wednesday's game against the Pacers due to a post-traumatic headache, Josh Robbins of The Athletic reports.

Champagnie took a hard fall earlier in Wednesday's game which resulted in the head injury. He'll have nine days to rest before the Wizards' next game, which comes Feb. 21 against Milwaukee. He ends Wednesday's game scoreless (0-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt) with no counting stats. Corey Kispert and AJ Johnson are the likeliest candidates to pick up Champagnie's vacated minutes.

Champagnie finished Monday's 131-121 loss to the Spurs with 14 points (5-6 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, one assist and one block across 18 minutes.

Champagnie shifted back to Washington's bench in the return of rookie first-rounder Kyshawn George (ankle), but the move didn't stop him from turning in his highest scoring output since the Jan. 1 win over Chicago. Even so, Champagnie hasn't done enough overall to warrant much fantasy attention when he isn't able to function with the starters. Through 20 appearances from the second unit, the 23-year-old has averaged 5.3 points, 2.6 rebounds, 0.8 assists and 0.6 steals in 11.9 minutes.

Champagnie will come off the bench in Monday's matchup against San Antonio, Michael C. Wright of ESPN.com reports.

With Kyshawn George returning from a one-game absence due to an ankle injury, Champagnie will revert back to the bench. Over his last five outings, the 23-year-old has averaged 8.8 points, 4.2 rebounds and 1.0 blocks across 17.2 minutes per contest.

Champagnie is in the Wizards' starting lineup against the Hawks on Saturday, Josh Robbins of The Athletic reports.

Champagnie has been dealing with a right rib contusion, but he will play Saturday and be inserted into the starting lineup due to the absence of Kyshawn George (ankle). Champagnie has averaged 5.7 points and 2.7 rebounds over 11.5 minutes per game over his last 10 outings.

Champagnie (ribs) isn't on the injury report for Saturday's game versus the Hawks.

Champagnie will return to action after missing Friday's contest due to a right rib contusion. The 23-year-old forward is averaging 5.7 points and 2.7 rebounds in 11.5 minutes across his previous 10 appearances.

Champagnie (ribs) has been ruled out for Friday's game against Cleveland.

Champagnie will miss his second contest in the Wizards' last four outings due to a right rib contusion. His next chance to play will come Saturday against Atlanta. The 23-year-old has averaged 14.6 minutes per game over his last five outings, meaning Kyshawn George and Corey Kispert will likely see a bump in minutes.

Champagnie is listed as questionable for Friday's game versus the Cavaliers due to a right rib contusion.

After starting 13 straight contests in December and early January, Champagnie has operated off the bench for Washington as of late. If the 23-year-old forward is downgraded to out against Cleveland, Kyshawn George, Corey Kispert and Anthony Gill are candidates to receive increased playing time.

Champagnie logged 12 points (5-7 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), six rebounds, two steals and two blocks in 15 minutes during Wednesday's 106-82 loss to the Raptors.

The fourth-year wing has struggled to produce with the second unit this season, managing just 4.1 points and 2.4 rebounds per game on 40.4 percent shooting from the field and 36.0 percent from behind the arc as a bench player. Contrarily, he's averaging 12.2 points and 7.5 rebounds while shooting 54.8 percent from the field and 40.0 percent from deep as a starter. So, while it's pretty clear he needs volume and opportunity to be at all relevant for fantasy purposes, he was able to break that barrier Sunday with his highest scoring game as a member of the second unit this season. He'll look to build off the performance Thursday against the Lakers.

Champagnie recorded one point (0-4 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds and one steal across 15 minutes during Thursday's 110-93 loss to the Clippers.

Champagnie received his most playing time since Jan. 8 on Thursday, during which he struggled to find his rhythm on the offensive end. The 23-year-old has averaged 3.4 points and 1.8 rebounds in only 9.6 minutes per game over his last five outings.

Champagnie contributed one rebound in 10 minutes during Monday's 120-106 loss to the Timberwolves.

Champagnie has now come off the bench for five straight games, seeing a new low in minutes Monday since he became a regular part of the rotation in early December. During this five-game stretch, he's averaged just 5.0 points and 2.4 rebounds in 14.4 minutes. The increased health of Champagnie's teammates has led to his role declining, but how many of those teammates be around after the Feb. 6 trade deadline? Washington has just six wins and is expected to explore dealing its veterans. That could open up more time for Champagnie, who averaged 12.2 points, 7.5 rebounds, 1.5 steals, 1.2 assists and 1.0 blocks in 29.2 minutes across 13 starts.

Champagnie will come off the bench in Tuesday's game against the Rockets.

The 23-year-old will slide to the bench in favor of Kyshawn George on Tuesday. Champagnie has started in each of his last 13 appearances, during which he has averaged 12.2 points, 7.5 rebounds and 1.5 steals in 29.2 minutes per contest.

Champagnie produced 15 points (6-8 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), two rebounds, one assist and one steal in 21 minutes during Wednesday's 125-107 win over the Bulls.

Champagnie remains a member of the first unit, and he made the most of his minutes Wednesday by delivering an excellent performance -- he missed just two of his eight shots across a 21-minute cameo and contributed on the defensive end. Champagnie has scored in double digits in just two of his last six outings, however, and with Kyle Kuzma playing off the bench now that he recovered from a rib injury, it wouldn't be surprising if the former Pittsburgh star moves back to a bench role sooner rather than later.

Champagnie will remain in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Bulls.

Champagnie will maintain a hold on a spot with Washington's starting five for at least one more game, as Kyle Kuzma is still functioning from the second unit as the latter works his way back from a rib injury. Champagnie has averaged 12.8 points, 8.4 rebounds, 1.6 steals and 1.2 blocks in 30.2 minutes over 10 games as a starter this season, so he remains relevant to fantasy managers in most formats.

Champagnie is in the Wizards' starting lineup for Monday's game against the Knicks.

Champagnie will remain in Washington's starting five Monday despite Kyle Kuzma returning from a 12-game absence due to a rib injury. Champagnie has started in each of the Wizards' last nine games, and over that span he has averaged 13.9 points, 8.4 rebounds, 1.1 assists, 1.7 steals and 1.1 blocks over 30.8 minutes per game.

Champagnie closed with 31 points (13-15 FG, 5-6 3Pt), 10 rebounds, one assist and two steals over 45 minutes during Saturday's 136-132 overtime loss to the Knicks.

The Wizards were without two of their best scorers in this game in Kyle Kuzma (ribs) and Jordan Poole (hip), so some of the role players needed to step their game up. Champagnie not only came through for the Wizards, but the former Pittsburgh star recorded a career-best scoring output. To put things into perspective, Champaginie had scored 14 points combined over his previous three starts.

Champagnie racked up 13 points (5-11 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 14 rebounds, three assists, two blocks and three steals across 39 minutes during Sunday's 112-98 loss to the Celtics.

Making his fourth straight start due to injuries to injuries to Kyle Kuzma (ribs) and Kyshawn George (ankle), Champagnie produced his first career double-double and just the second game of his career with 10-plus boards. The 23-year-old forward is averaging 16.5 points, 9.5 rebounds, 2.8 steals, 1.8 threes, 1.3 assists and 1.3 blocks during his stint in the starting five while shooting 55.1 percent from the floor, and he may be playing well enough to hang onto a spot in the Wizards' rotation even after the roster gets healthier.

Champagnie ended with 14 points (6-12 FG, 2-4 3Pt), eight rebounds and five steals in 34 minutes during Sunday's 140-112 loss to the Grizzlies.

This strong line comes on the heels of a 23-point showing Saturday against Denver, so Champagnie certainly has the attention of fantasy managers. The Wizards have several key players nursing injuries, but they could get some reinforcements back for their next game Friday against the Cavaliers. Champagnie will certainly be on the streaming radar as long as the team is shorthanded.

Champagnie logged 23 points (9-13 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 3-5 FT), eight rebounds, one assist, two blocks and two steals over 37 minutes during Saturday's 122-113 victory over the Nuggets.

In his first NBA start of the season after spending time in the G League, Champagnie emerged with a career-high 23 points while filling up the box score. It was also just his fourth appearance with the Wizards this season. Head coach Brian Keefe has shuffled his starting lineup around quite a bit lately, so it remains unknown if Champagnie will hold down a spot with the first unit going forward. Fantasy managers should take a wait-and-see approach before adding the 23-year-old forward from waiver wires, however, as it needs to be noted that Washington was missing Kyle Kuzma (rib), Alex Sarr (back) and Malcolm Brogdon (hamstring) on Saturday.

Champagnie is in the Wizards' starting five for Saturday's game against the Nuggets.

Champagnie will make his first start of the 2024-25 regular season Saturday due to injuries to Kyle Kuzma (ribs), Corey Kispert (ankle), Kyshawn George (ankle) and Alex Sarr (back). Champagnie only played five minutes off the bench over his first two outings, but he played 29 minutes off the bench against the Mavericks on Thursday and finished with nine points, five rebounds and three assists.

Champagnie played 33 minutes Sunday during the G League Capital City Go-Go's 129-127 win over Westchester and logged 29 points (11-16 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 12 rebounds, two assists, two steals and three blocks.

Champagnie was dominant for the Go-Go during Sunday's, scoring a season-high 29 points while shooting an effective 68.8 percent from the field. The two-way player also managed to compile his fourth double-double of the season across just eight games played.

Champagnie contributed 22 points (7-15 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 4-5 FT), 13 rebounds, five assists, two steals and two blocks across 42 minutes during Saturday's 120-115 G League win over the Long Island Nets.

The two-way forward posted his second double-double in only three G League Tip-Off Tournament appearances Saturday. While the 23-year-old scored 22 points and led the club in rebounds, he also racked up a game-high seven turnovers. In the Tip-Off Tournament, Champagnie has averaged 17.3 points, 10.7 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 2.0 steals and 1.3 blocks across 34.9 minutes per game. He will likely spend most of his time with the G League club this season, and he has amassed only five total minutes over two regular-season appearances with the Wizards thus far.

Champagnie amassed no counting stats in one minute during Wednesday's 139-130 loss to San Antonio.

Champagnie cracked the rotation for the first time since the opening game, playing just one minute. While there is a chance he can earn some rotation minutes at some point this season, it appears as though he is going to be spending the majority of the next few months warming the bench.

Champagnie registered 16 points (4-9 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 6-6 FT), eight rebounds, two assists and two steals over 31 minutes during Tuesday's 137-114 loss to the Rockets.

Despite moving back to the bench, Champagnie turned in another strong performance. Along with a number of his teammates, Champagnie has put himself on the fantasy radar over the past week. In that time, he has been able to put up top-100 numbers, averaging 10.3 points, 5.8 rebounds, 1.8 three-pointers and 2.3 combined steals and blocks.

Champagnie will come off the bench for Tuesday's game against Houston.

Champagnie will give way to second-year guard Johnny Davis in the starting lineup Tuesday. Washington enters the contest with only nine available players, so Champagnie maintaining a 25-30 minute role is plausible.

Champagnie recorded 14 points (5-11 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds, two steals and one assist over 36 minutes in Sunday's 130-104 loss to Boston.

Champagnie got his first career start with the Wizards shorthanded, leading all players in Sunday's contest in rebounds to go along with a team-leading pair of steals and ending as one of four players with a double-digit point total in a near double-double outing. Champagnie set season high marks in scoring, rebounds and steals while posting his second game with at least 10 points and seven rebounds this season, both of which have taken place in the last two outings.

Champagnie will start Sunday's game against the Celtics.

Champagnie will make his first career NBA start for the shorthanded Wizards. He played 25 minutes during Saturday's loss in Chicago and totaled 11 points, seven rebounds, three assists, three blocks and one steal.

Champagnie signed a two-way contract with Washington on Sunday, Chris Haynes of Turner Sports reports.

Coming off a 10-day contract, Champagnie will be converted to a two-way deal after compiling 11 points, one rebound and one assist across 16 minutes in three appearances for the Wizards. The 6-foot-6 wing hybrid joins a relatively crowded rotation of swingmen off the bench, featuring Jordan Poole, Landry Shamet, Corey Kispert and Johnny Davis.

The Wizards recalled Champagnie from the G League's Capital City Go-Go on Tuesday.

The Wizards could be very shorthanded for Tuesday's game against the Warriors, so Champagnie could potentially see some rotation minutes.

Champagnie signed a 10-day contract with the Wizards on Tuesday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

Champagnie was dominating for the G League's Sioux Falls Skyforce, averaging 22.3 points and 8.9 rebounds per game. He hasn't appeared in an NBA game since the 2022-23 campaign and has made only five appearances since 2021-22. With Kyle Kuzma and Deni Avdija occupying the two starting forward spots and reserve options in Bilal Coulibaly and Corey Kispert needing playing time, it's unclear how many minutes will be available for Champagnie over the next 10 days.

The Heat waived Champagnie on Saturday.

Champagnie spent the preseason with the Heat but will be waived alongside Cheick Diallo. Champagnie is set to play for the Sioux Falls Skyforce of the G League in 2023-24.

Champagnie signed a deal with the Heat on Friday.

Champagnie split time last season between the Celtics, Raptors and the Heat's G League affiliate, the Sioux Falls Skyforce. In his 23 appearances for the SKyforce, he averaged 18.2 points, 8.0 rebounds and 1.0 assists in 31.3 minutes.

The Celtics waived Champagnie on Tuesday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

Champagnie split time between the NBA and G League last year, averaging 2.5 points, 2.0 rebounds and 1.5 assists in 11.5 minutes across two appearances for the Celtics. He will enter the 2023-24 season as a free agent.

Champagnie tallied 21 points (8-17 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 3-3 FT), 12 rebounds, six assists and a block over 28 minutes during Sunday's 103-98 Summer League loss to the Wizards.

Champagnie led the game in points and rebounds, doing most of his work at the basket. He also impacted the game with his distributing, adding six dimes. Champagnie will look to continue his strong Summer League campaign as he battles to crack the Celtics' rotation next season.

Champagnie is set to sign with the Celtics, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

Champagnie has been playing for the Sioux Falls Skyforce of the G League this season, where he registered averages of 18.2 points, 8.0 rebounds and 1.5 triples per contest on 52 percent shooting. He'll bring some depth to the forward spots in Boston, but it's unlikely he'll earn enough minutes to make an impact in fantasy hoops.

Champagnie was waived by the Raptors on Thursday, Eric Koreen of The Athletic reports.

Champagnie will head to the waiver wire following Thursday's transaction. He could come back with Toronto's G League affiliate, Raptors 905, if he makes it through waivers unclaimed.

Champagnie was called up to join the NBA Raptors for their meeting with the Celtics on Monday, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Champagnie saw some G League action Saturday, logging 22 points and 10 rebounds but is slated to return to the NBA and be available Monday. He doesn't figure to hold a rotation spot with Toronto when they are healthy.

Champagnie (back) is probable for Monday's contest against Cleveland.

The 6-foot-6 forward has missed Toronto's last 12 contests but appears to have a good chance at being available for Monday's battle against the Cavaliers. Even if active, fantasy managers should hold off before entering Champagnie in fantasy lineups. The Pittsburgh product is averaging just 3.0 points and 1.5 rebounds across 4.5 minutes per game this season.

Champagnie (back) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Cavaliers, Eric Koreen of The Athletic reports.

While he's continued to manage lower-back pain, Champagnie hasn't seen the court for either Toronto or its G League affiliate (Raptors 905) since Oct. 31. If he's available Monday, Champagnie likely won't be included in head coach Nick Nurse's rotation.

Champagnie (back) is out for Saturday's game against the Mavericks, Eric Koreen of The Athletic reports.

Champagnie will miss Saturday's game due to a back injury that has kept him out the last two games. However, Champagnie has only appeared in two games for the Raptors this season, so it should not affect their rotation.

Champagnie (back) remains out for Wednesday's game versus the Nets, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports.

Champagnie is one of numerous Raptors players who will sit this contest out due to injury. If he can return before some of his teammates, Champagnie could see more run than the 4.5 minutes per contest he's logged in his only two appearances with Toronto this season. His next chance arrives Saturday against the Mavericks.

Champagnie (back) is listed as out for Saturday's affair with the Hawks.

Champagnie was left off of the team's injury report on Thursday but has been added back as out as he continues to deal with lower back soreness. With Otto Porter (foot), Pascal Siakam (groin), Gary Trent (illness), Precious Achiuwa (ankle), Dalano Banton (ankle) and Chris Boucher (illness) all out Saturday, the Raptors will be incredibly thin on the wing. Champagnie's next chance to suit up will come on Wednesday against Brooklyn.

Champagnie isn't on the injury report for Saturday's game versus the Hawks.

Champagnie is available for Saturday's game after previously missing time with a back injury. Champagnie has only appeared in two games for the Raptors this season, but he could see some action Saturday, given the team's numerous injuries in the rotation.

The Raptors list Champagnie (back) as out for Wednesday's game against the Heat.

Though Champagnie rejoined the Raptors on Tuesday following a stint with the G League's Raptors 905, he's still managing the lower-back pain that first cropped up nearly a week and a half ago. Champagnie will be one of five Raptors sitting out Wednesday, joining Otto Porter (toe), Gary Trent (hip), Precious Achiuwa (ankle) and Pascal Siakam (groin).

Champagnie (back) will be available for the Raptors against the Heat on Wednesday, Eric Koreen of The Athletic reports.

Champagnie had been dealing with a back issue and was with the team's G League affiliate of late, but it appears the injury has subsided, and the Raptors are dealing with enough issues that the team is recalling reinforcements in the form of Champagnie and Jeff Dowtin.

Champagnie (back) is out for Wednesday's matchup with Houston.

Champagnie has made two appearances for the Raptors this season and played three and five minutes, respectively. Champagnie's next chance to play will be in Friday's game versus the Thunder if he isn't assigned back to the Raptors 905 of the G League.

Champagnie (back) is questionable to play in Wednesday's game versus the Rockets.

Champagnie will continue to split between the NBA and G League this season, but his back injury has prevented him from making his Raptors 905 debut. Champagnie's next opportunity to play will be Friday versus the Thunder if he is unable to play Wednesday.

The Raptors assigned Champagnie to the G League's Raptors 905 on Tuesday, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.

Champagnie played three and five minutes in the Raptors' last two games, respectively. However, with Otto Porter (personal) being the frontcourt member potentially missing time, there is no spot for Champagnie in the rotation.

Toronto recalled Champagnie from the G League to the NBA club Wednesday, Vivek Jacob of the Raptors' official site reports.

Champagnie has been recalled after just one day in the G League. He's yet to appear in an NBA game this season, so he'll likely operate as an emergency big during Wednesday's matchup against Philadelphia.

Champagnie (hip) will make his preseason debut Sunday against the Bulls, but he'll operate on "short minutes," Aaron Rose of SI.com reports.

Champagnie was sidelined for the start of the preseason due to lingering hip soreness, but he'll return to game action Sunday. The undrafted forward out of Pittsburgh is competing for a larger role in Year two after appearing in 36 games for Toronto as a rookie last year.

Champagnie (hip) is out for Friday's preseason game versus the Rockets, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Champagnie is dealing with right hip soreness that also caused him to miss Wednesday's preseason game. The second-year forward averaged 2.3 points and 2.0 rebounds in 7.8 minutes across 36 games last season. With Champagnie out, Thaddeus young and Gary Trent should be in line for more minutes against Houston.

Champagnie (thumb) won't play in Wednesday's preseason game against the Celtics, Blake Murphy of The Athletic reports.

Champagnie continues to recover from a left thumb fracture he sustained during Summer League, so he'll remain sidelined as the Raptors begin preseason play. Thaddeus Young could see additional run against Boston, as Otto Porter (hamstring) and Malachi Flynn (face) have also been ruled out for Wednesday's exhibition.

Champagnie (thumb) agreed Thursday with the Raptors on a two-year contract for the league minimum, Keith Smith of Spotrac.com reports.

According to Smith, Champagnie will be upgraded from the two-way deal he played under as a rookie in 2021-22 to a new contract that includes a partial guarantee for 2022-23 and no guarantee for 2023-24. Champagnie's stint in the Las Vegas Summer League was recently cut short due to a small left thumb fracture, but the injury probably isn't anything that will affect his availability for training camp. In 36 games for the Raptors last season, Champagnie averaged 2.3 points and 2.0 rebounds in 7.8 minutes per contest.

Champagnie is in a brace following a thumb injury and is out for Saturday's Summer League game against the 76ers, Eric Koreen of The Athletic reports.

Koreen speculates that Champagnie will likely be out over the next few days, so it's possible he doesn't play in the remainder of Summer League. There's nothing to indicate he won't be ready for training camp.

Toronto recalled Champagnie from the G League's Raptors 905 on Thursday, Blake Murphy of The Athletic reports.

Champagnie and fellow rookie Dalano Banton will rejoin the NBA team as it opens its second-half schedule with a game Friday in Charlotte. Prior to the All-Star break, Champagnie had been firmly outside of head coach Nick Nurse's rotation, appearing in only two of Toronto's first nine games of February while logging eight minutes in total.

Champagnie was ejected during Tuesday's game against the Hornets. He exited with two rebounds and one assist in four minutes.

Champagnie and opponent P.J. Washington got in a shoving match, resulting in both players earning ejections. It doesn't seem likely that either player will be served a suspension, but fantasy managers should be prepared if the league or the team decides discipline is needed.

Champagnie had three points (1-5 FG, 1-2 3Pt), 12 rebounds, one assist and one block across 30 minutes during Saturday's 103-96 win over the Bucks.

Champagnie didn't do much in the scoring column, but he exploded with the best rebounding total of his NBA career. The 6-6 swingman has to fight for time on this talented roster and has limited fantasy impact, but he's one injury or COVID-19 case away from more time on the floor.

Champagnie (COVID-19) is available for Friday's contest against the Clippers, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports.

The forward missed the team's last two contests due to being placed in the health and safety protocols, but will be available for Friday's matchup against the Clippers. However, Champagnie is not someone to trust in fantasy lineups in all formats.

Champagnie (illness) wasn't available for Sunday's 144-99 loss to the Cavaliers after he was placed in the NBA's COVID-19 health and safety protocols, Ryan Wolstat of the Toronto Sun reports.

Before the Raptors had their most recent game Wednesday against the Bulls postponed due to a lack of available players, Champagnie had been ruled out with a non-COVID-19 related illness. Just three days later, he joined Isaac Bonga and Khem Birch (knee) in the health and safety protocols, a sign Champagnie likely tested positive for the virus. Toronto had the league-minimum eight available players for Sunday's contest, and based on the timing of his entry into the protocols, Champagnie doesn't look like he'll be ready to provide the Raptors with reinforcement for Tuesday's showdown with the 76ers.

Champagnie (illness) will not play Wednesday against the Bulls, Eric Koreen of The Athletic reports.

Champagnie going down with a non-COVID illness couldn't come at a worse time for the Raptors, who currently have seven players in COVID-19 protocols. If Wednesday's contest goes on as scheduled, the Raptors will obviously be extremely shorthanded.

Champagnie totaled 10 points (4-8 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, one block and one steal over 25 minutes during Monday's 124-101 win over the Kings.

The Raptors were well in control of the game for most of the second half, so Champagnie was able to see extended run along with several other bench players. He established new season highs in points and minutes and notched his first steal of the season. Even so, Champagnie typically only sees the floor in blowout situations, so he's not much of a consideration in most season-long fantasy leagues.

Champagnie (knee) is available for Friday's game against the Knicks, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports.

Champagnie will be able to play through right knee tendinitis in Friday's matchup. Across his last two appearances with the parent club, the 20-year-old has averaged 3.5 points in 7.0 minutes per game.

Champagnie is questionable for Friday's game against the Knicks due to right knee tendinitis, Aaron Rose of SI.com reports.

Champagnie played a season-high 12 minutes in Wednesday's loss to the Thunder but is now dealing with a knee injury. Chris Boucher and Yuta Watanabe could see increased run against the Knicks if Champagnie is held out.

Champagnie was assigned to the Raptors 905 of the G League on Friday, Blake Murphy of The Athletic reports.

Champagnie has played 16 minutes in five appearances for Toronto this season, and he'll now join the G League affiliate for the time being.

The Raptors recalled Champagnie from the G League's Raptors 905 ahead of Monday's game against the Knicks, Blake Murphy of The Athletic reports.

Champagnie was summoned to provide some extra depth in the frontcourt after Scottie Barnes (thumb) was downgraded to doubtful for Monday's contest. Unless the game turns into a blowout in either direction, however, Champagnie is unlikely to see the court.
