Josh Robbins: Wizards wing Justin Champagnie underwent surgery today to repair a fracture in his right foot, @TheAthleticNBA has learned. The Wizards are hoping that Champagnie will be able to return by the All-Star break. Champagnie suffered the injury during Monday's game in Charlotte.

Josh Robbins: Speaking today after practice, Justin Champagnie lauded the fans who were inside the arena last night. He said there was "probably the most energy that we've had in there since I've been here. So, it was definitely a plus. ... It was fun yesterday, for sure."


The Wizards have downgraded Justin Champagnie (right knee contusion), Bilal Coulibaly (right retrocalcaneal bursitis) and Tre Johnson (right foot sprain) to questionable for Sunday’s game against Brooklyn. Tristan Vukcevic (right knee contusion) is also questionable.

Josh Robbins: The playing statuses of Alex Sarr and Tristan Vukčević have been downgraded to OUT for this afternoon's game in Miami. But Justin Champagnie, Bilal Coulibaly and Tre Johnson have been upgraded to AVAILABLE. Today's game is the first game of a back-to-back for the Wizards.

Josh Robbins: A shoving match here in the Thunder-Wizards game that first involved Justin Champagnie and Jaylin Williams and then escalated to involve Anthony Gill and Ajay Mitchell.
Duane Rankin: "I'll never give the refs credit for what I do." Dillon Brooks on his react to techs as he hit a 3 after he and Justin Champagnie received a tech with 4:35 left in 3rd of Suns win over Wizards. "They say I antagonize or taunt when I'm speaking to a person who the possession before pushed me in my chest, which I got a T a past game before. Then jog down, call me out my name I can't say on media cause I'll get fined like $50,000, $25,000." Brooks came into game with league-high 12 techs. "They give me a T for who I am. That's weird and that's unappreciative and this is the same ref who gets manhandled in the Laker game and doesn't give a T out. I'm not going to give any names. You can go look up who it is, but this guy needs to get looked at seriously. This is why I have a stigma with refs and this is why they're so quick to T me."
