The native of Brooklyn, N.Y., also appeared in 14 regular-season games with Raptors 905 in the NBA G League, where he averaged 21.1 points, 8.3 rebounds and 36 minutes.
He recorded five double-doubles with 905 and scored a season-best 45 points in Toronto’s 123-105 win at Wisconsin on March 25.
Champagnie signed a two-way contract with the Raptors last summer after playing two collegiate seasons at Pittsburgh (2019-21) where he became the first player in school history to lead the Panthers in scoring as both a freshman and sophomore.
The six-foot-six, 245-pound Harper averaged 12.6 points, 5.1 rebounds and 29.1 minutes in 121 career games over four seasons at Rutgers.
Harper joined the Raptors after going undrafted at the 2022 NBA draft.
Harper has played in three Summer League games for the Raptors with averages of 7.3 points and 4.7 rebounds.
