Washington Wizards forward Justin Champagnie has a new long-term extension with the organization. The two sides have agreed on a four-year, $10 million contract, which will keep Champagnie in Washington for the foreseeable future. The 23-year-old is averaging 7.5 points, 4.6 rebounds, and 0.9 assists per game on 51 percent shooting from the field. He figures to play a bigger role in the rotation during the second half of the season with the Wizards out of playoff contention. The expectation is the Wizards will let their younger players like Champagnie get more run going forward. Right now, Champagnie isn't an ideal streaming option, but he could have more value soon.
Justin Champagnie Leads All Scorers In Losing Effort
Boston Celtics forward Justin Champagnie turned in his best game of the summer despite losing 98-103 to the Washington Wizards on Sunday. The Pitt product finished the game with 21 points, 12 rebounds, six assists, and one block on 8-for-17 shooting and 2-for-5 from beyond the arc. He saw some action in his rookie year with the Toronto Raptors but has since only a total of five games. The Celtics signed Champagnie after he was waived and it will be an uphill battle to stick on one of the deepest teams in the league.
