Champagnie earns final spot as Raptors waive Brown, Jackson and Wilson

MONTRÉAL, France - Justin Champagnie has secured the final spot on the Toronto Raptors’ 15-man roster.

The Raptors announced Friday night they’d waived forwards Gabe Brown, Josh Jackson and D.J. Wilson. Their roster now stands at the league maximum 15 players, plus two two-way players.

The move seemed like a given during the Raptors’ 137-134 win over the Boston Celtics in their pre-season finale in Montreal. Champagnie, who’d been battling nagging hip pain, played 25 minutes, finishing with seven points and six rebounds. It was only his second game of the pre-season.

Jackson played 11 minutes, while Brown and Wilson didn’t play.
