Justin Champagnie News, Rumors, Updates - Washington Wizards

Pours in 27 in season finale 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.

Impact 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.

Double-doubles in defeat 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.

Impact 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.

He's notched three double-doubles over his last eight outings, averaging 12.3 points and 8.6 rebounds per game in that span.

Double-doubles in loss 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.

Impact 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.

Impact Champagnie finished just two points away from recording a double-double but made a significant impact in other areas.

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.

Impact 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.

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

Impact 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).

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

Impact 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.

Will start vs. Orlando Champagnie will be in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Magic.

Impact 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.

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

Impact 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.

Nabs double-double Saturday 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.

Impact 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.

Nearly double-doubles 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.

Impact 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.

Rough night despite start 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.

Impact 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.
