newsroom · 42 min agoJustin Champagnie is back with the Wizards for 2026-27, wearing No. 9 after a 69-game season in which he averaged 8.7 points and 5.6 rebounds. He is not on the injury report as the team prepares for the season opener. The 25-year-old forward-guard enters the year with an established role after posting the most efficient shooting numbers of his career last season.
Where Things Stand
Justin Champagnie is on the Wizards roster for 2026-27, wearing No. 9. He is not on the injury report right now, which puts him in line for a normal offseason workload heading into the year. Champagnie is 25 years old and enters his fifth NBA season. He played his college ball at Pittsburgh before turning pro, and last season he was already a member of the Wizards, logging real minutes in a full 69-game slate. With no injury history listed and a clean bill of health, Washington can plan on him being available as camp and the preseason schedule move forward toward opening night.
Last Season by the Numbers
Champagnie played 69 games for Washington last season, averaging 20.0 minutes, 8.7 points, 5.6 rebounds, 1.2 assists, 0.9 steals and 0.6 blocks. He shot 50.2 percent from the field, 31.9 percent from three and 78.4 percent from the foul line, with a true shooting mark of 58.9 percent. His usage rate sat at 16.1 percent, and his turnover rate stayed low at 0.7 per game. The plus-minus was -4.3 on the season. Those numbers describe a reserve-caliber forward who did not need a heavy shot diet to be efficient, shooting well above league-average clips on true shooting while playing a bench-length role in Washington's rotation.
The Player: Size and Skill Set
At 6-6 and 206 pounds, Champagnie is a guard-forward, listed as G-F, giving Washington a body that can log minutes at either wing spot. Last season's rebounding number, 5.6 per game in only 20.0 minutes, stands out for a player his size and role, pointing to a physical presence on the glass. The shooting split, 50.2 percent overall and 31.9 percent from three, paired with 78.4 percent at the line, shows a player who finishes efficiently inside the arc while still stretching the floor from deep. The modest assist (1.2) and low usage (16.1 percent) numbers describe a complementary role rather than a primary ball-handler.
Health Report
Champagnie is not on the injury report. There is no injury history on file for him, meaning he has no documented absences to track into this season. For a player who logged 69 games last season, that clean health record matters: durability was already part of his profile going into 2026-27. With no red flags on the medical side, the Wizards can build his role in training camp and the preseason without having to plan around a recovery timeline or a minutes restriction.
What's Ahead
The 2026-27 season is approaching, and Champagnie's opener with Washington is coming. He heads into it with no rumors attached and no reported trade or contract buzz on file, which points to stability in his standing on the roster for now. His task will be to build on last season's efficiency, the 50.2 percent from the field and 58.9 true shooting mark, while carrying a similar rebounding and defensive profile (0.9 steals, 0.6 blocks) into a full training camp. Fans watching the roster ahead of opening night can expect him in the same forward-guard role he held for 69 games last season.
