Suspended for Sunday's game
The NBA announced that Champagnie has been issued a one-game suspension for "fighting and escalating an on-court altercation" late in the second quarter of Saturday's 132-111 loss to the Thunder.
Analyse
Champagnie and the Thunder's Ajay Mitchell were both ejected from the contest and handed one-game bans for their respective roles in the altercation, while Washington's Anthony Gill and Oklahoma City's Jaylin Williams and Cason Wallace received fines. Champagnie will serve the suspension for Sunday's game against the Knicks, leaving the banged-up Wizards with just nine players available for that contest.

Ejected Saturday
Champagnie was ejected from Saturday's game against Oklahoma City after participating in an on-court scuffle, Andrew Schlecht of The Athletic reports.
Analyse
Champagnie is one of four players ejected following the altercation, and the only Wizard to be booted from the contest. He'll finish the game with three points (1-3 FG, 1-1 3Pt), one rebound, one assist and one steal across 14 minutes. Anthony Gill and Jamir Watkins should see more action for the remainder of the contest. Assuming no further punishment is handed down by the league, Champagnie should be back in action Sunday against the Knicks.

Not starting Thursday

With Sharife Cooper stepping into the starting lineup, Champagnie will slide to the second unit. Bilal Coulibaly (heel) is out, so Champagnie could still see meaningful burn. Over five appearances off the bench this month, he has averaged 11.0 points, 4.6 rebounds and 1.6 steals in 21.2 minutes per contest.
