Justin Champagnie News: Joining second unit Friday

Updated on January 9, 2026 at 7:36pm

Champagnie is not starting Friday's game against the Pelicans.

Kyshawn George (hip) is returning to action Friday, which is the likely cause for Champagnie falling into the second unit. He 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.
