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

Impact 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.

Fills stat sheet Saturday 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 Hornet...

Impact 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.

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

Impact 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.

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

Impact 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.

FEBRUARY 23, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

No longer on injury report Champagnie (head) is not on the injury report for Friday's game against the Bucks.

Impact 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.

FEBRUARY 21, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Exits early after fall 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.

Impact 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.

Offers spark off bench in loss 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.

Impact 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.

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

Impact 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.

FEBRUARY 10, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

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

Impact 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.

FEBRUARY 8, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

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

Impact 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.

FEBRUARY 8, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

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

Impact 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.

FEBRUARY 7, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

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

Impact 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.

FEBRUARY 7, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Solid night off bench 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.

Impact 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.
