Justin Champagnie is coming off a year where he appeared in five regular season games for the Boston Celtics and Toronto Raptors.
The former Pitt star averaged 2.2 points and 1.6 rebounds per contest while shooting 33.3% from the field (he also appeared in four NBA playoff games with the Celtics).
On Tuesday, Shams Charania of The Athletic and Stadium reported that the Celtics had waived Champagnie.
Via Charania : "The Boston Celtics have waived G/F Justin Champagnie, sources tell @TheAthletic @Stadium. Champagnie was signed to a multiyear deal out of the NBA G League late last season."
Champagnie initially went undrafted in 2022 and has played in a total of 41 regular season games with career averages of 2.2 points and 2.0 rebounds per contest while shooting 43.9% from the field and 33.3% from the three-point range.
The 22-year-old has also played in the G League over each of the past two seasons.
Last year, he averaged an impressive 18.2 points, 8.1 rebounds and 1.0 assists per contest while shooting 52.2% from the field in 23 regular season games (he also appeared in ten Showcase Cup games and three G League playoff games).
Since Champagnie played well in the G League, he could be a good pickup for a team's training camp roster.
As for the Celtics, they are coming off a season where they were the second seed in the Eastern Conference and lost to the Miami Heat in Game 7 of the Conference Finals.
They have been to the Conference Finals in five out of the previous seven seasons.
