Joining second unit Friday Champagnie is not starting in Friday's game against the Pelicans.

Impact Kyshawn George (hip) is returning to action Friday, which is the likely cause for Champagnie falling into the second unit. Champagnie has averaged 11.8 points, 7.4 rebounds, 1.1 blocks and 0.8 steals in 23.9 minutes per tilt across his last eight games off the bench.

Jumps into starting lineup Champagnie is part of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against Philadelphia.

Impact The Wizards are without three of their five regular starters -- CJ McCollum (quadriceps), Khris Middleton (knee) and Kyshawn George (hip) -- which means Champagnie has been elevated to the starting five. He's averaging 8.3 points and 6.0 rebounds across eight starts this season.

Adds 17 points in win Champagnie racked up 17 points (6-7 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds, three assists and two blocks over 22 minutes during Tuesday's 120-112 win over the Magic.

Impact Champagnie continues to be impactful on both ends of the court, drilling a season-high four threes and swatting two shots for the second straight game. The 24-year-old forward missed just one shot in the contest and continues to see steady run with Kyshawn George (hip) sidelined, playing 20-plus minutes in five of the past six games and scoring in double figures in five of those outings. He's averaging 12.7 points, 7.2 rebounds, 1.7 threes and 1.3 blocks across 25 minutes per game during that stretch.

Drops season-high 20 points Champagnie contributed 20 points (9-12 FG, 2-3 3Pt), seven rebounds, one block and one steal over 25 minutes during Friday's 119-99 win over the Nets.

Impact Champagnie continues to find a way to contribute, scoring double digits for the fourth straight game. Despite coming off the bench, Champagnie has been quietly putting together a strong run of production, averaging 13.3 points, 8.5 rebounds, 1.5 three-pointers and 2.5 combined steals and blocks in 27.3 minutes per game over his past four appearances. His role is likely to fluctuate, at least for the foreseeable future. However, assuming Washington makes some moves prior to the trade deadline, Champagnie could be a sneaky stash candidate.

Double-double Champagnie recorded 13 points (6-13 FG, 1-3 3Pt), 14 rebounds, one block and two steals across 33 minutes during Sunday's 108-89 victory over the Pacers.

Impact The double-double was his first of the season, as Champagnie made his third straight start in an Wizards' injury-ravaged frontcourt that was missing four rotation regulars Sunday. The 33 minutes were also a season high for Champagnie, and he's in line for a significant workload as long as Khris Middleton (knee), Bilal Coulibaly (oblique), Alex Sarr (thigh) and Corey Kispert (thumb) remain sidelined. Champagnie has scored in double digits in four of the last six games (four starts), averaging 10.7 points, 8.0 boards, 1.3 assists, 1.2 blocks, 1.2 steals and 1.0 threes in 23.5 minutes over that stretch.
