Upgraded from two-way deal Champagnie (thumb) agreed Thursday with the Raptors on a two-year contract for the league minimum, Keith Smith of Spotrac.com reports.

Impact According to Smith, Champagnie will be upgraded from the two-way deal he played under as a rookie in 2021-22 to a new contract that includes a partial guarantee for 2022-23 and no guarantee for 2023-24. Champagnie's stint in the Las Vegas Summer League was recently cut short due to a small left thumb fracture, but the injury probably isn't anything that will affect his availability for training camp. In 36 games for the Raptors last season, Champagnie averaged 2.3 points and 2.0 rebounds in 7.8 minutes per contest.

Dealing with thumb injury Champagnie is in a brace following a thumb injury and is out for Saturday's Summer League game against the 76ers, Eric Koreen of The Athletic reports.

Impact Koreen speculates that Champagnie will likely be out over the next few days, so it's possible he doesn't play in the remainder of Summer League. There's nothing to indicate he won't be ready for training camp.

Returns from G League Toronto recalled Champagnie from the G League's Raptors 905 on Thursday, Blake Murphy of The Athletic reports.

Impact Champagnie and fellow rookie Dalano Banton will rejoin the NBA team as it opens its second-half schedule with a game Friday in Charlotte. Prior to the All-Star break, Champagnie had been firmly outside of head coach Nick Nurse's rotation, appearing in only two of Toronto's first nine games of February while logging eight minutes in total.

Ejected vs. Hornets Champagnie was ejected during Tuesday's game against the Hornets. He exited with two rebounds and one assist in four minutes.

Impact Champagnie and opponent P.J. Washington got in a shoving match, resulting in both players earning ejections. It doesn't seem likely that either player will be served a suspension, but fantasy managers should be prepared if the league or the team decides discipline is needed.

Grabs season-high 10 rebounds Champagnie had three points (1-5 FG, 1-2 3Pt), 12 rebounds, one assist and one block across 30 minutes during Saturday's 103-96 win over the Bucks.

Impact Champagnie didn't do much in the scoring column, but he exploded with the best rebounding total of his NBA career. The 6-6 swingman has to fight for time on this talented roster and has limited fantasy impact, but he's one injury or COVID-19 case away from more time on the floor.
