Impact Champagnie wasn't included on the Wizards' initial injury report but is now in danger of missing Saturday's contest due to a right knee contusion. If he's ultimately ruled out, Leaky Black and Jamir Watkins would be candidates to see an uptick in playing time.

Not starting Wednesday Champagnie won't start Wednesday's game against the 76ers.

Impact With Bilal Coulibaly (heel) back in the lineup following a one-game absence, Champagnie will slide to the second unit. He has averaged 9.2 points, 3.4 rebounds and 1.6 assists in 21.0 minutes per game over his last five appearances off the bench.

Posts 18 points in starting role Champagnie notched 18 points (8-12 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds, two assists and one steal over 27 minutes during Monday's 120-101 loss to the Lakers.

Impact Champagnie found his way back into the starting lineup with Bilal Coulibaly (heel) on the sidelines. He managed one of his best totals of the season, mimicking many of his results when he's made appearances with the first unit. Champagnie's contract grants the team the option to extend him through next season, so they'll likely give him some opportunities as the season ends to determine whether or not they'll exercise or decline that clause.
