Julian Champagnie News, Rumors, Updates - San Antonio Spurs

Keeps production up in win Champagnie ended with 12 points (5-11 FG, 2-7 3Pt), seven rebounds, one block and two steals over 28 minutes during Tuesday's 110-104 win over the Thunder.

Impact Champagnie's floor is a little shaky, but his rebound totals have been very consistent. He depends on shot volume to complete a fantasy-viable stat line, but he's shown the ability to pop on occasion. His highest scoring total for the year is 21 points, and he's recorded double-digit totals in eight of his last nine games.

Logs 13 points during victory Champagnie ended with 13 points (5-12 FG, 3-8 3Pt), six rebounds and one assist in 27 minutes during Monday's 116-96 win over the Kings.

Impact Champagnie has successfully held off Devin Vassell for the first-unit role for now, but he could fade into the woodwork once Vassell's minutes ramp back up. Chanpagnie could conceivably take Harrison Barnes' current spot, and the situation should crystallize more in the coming weeks.

Goes for 21 points Monday Champagnie accumulated 21 points (7-12 FG, 5-10 3Pt, 2-3 FT), five rebounds and two assists across 38 minutes during Monday's 113-104 loss to the Clippers.

Impact Champagnie posted his best scoring output of the season Monday, and he notched double-digit scoring numbers for the first time since Oct. 26. Champagnie should remain in the starting lineup until Devin Vassell (foot) is cleared to return, but his upside will be reduced considerably once he returns to a bench role.

Racks up three steals Thursday Champagnie supplied six points (3-7 FG, 0-1 3Pt), six rebounds, three steals and two assists across 25 minutes during Thursday's 106-88 win over the Jazz.

Impact Champagnie was fairly quiet from the field Thursday, though he was able to stuff the stat sheet and grab a season-high three steals in the win. The 23-year-old was impressive in the Spurs' first two regular-season games, but across the last three he has averaged only 4.7 points and 4.7 rebounds while shooting 31.6 percent across 24.3 minutes per game.

Stuffs stat sheet Thursday Champagnie produced 18 points (7-12 FG, 4-8 3Pt), seven rebounds, three assists, two blocks and one steal across 27 minutes during Thursday's 120-109 loss to the Mavericks.

Impact Champagnie got the start at shooting guard with Devin Vassell (foot) sidelined, and he was among the Spurs' top contributors in this season-opening loss, showing an accurate touch from beyond the arc but also making his presence felt in other categories. Vassell should reclaim his starting spot once he's healthy, but Champagnie might have done enough to keep his place in the starting lineup for the foreseeable future with this solid outing.

Starting in season opener Thursday Champagnie is in the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Mavericks, Jeff McDonald of the San Antonio Express-News reports.

Impact Champagnie has impressed head coach Gregg Popovich enough to get a start in the season opener. He'll run with the first unit alongside Chris Paul, Harrison Barnes, Jeremy Sochan and Victor Wembanyama. Champagnie beat Malaki Branham and Stephon Castle for the starting nod.

Catches fire from three Champagnie finished Monday's 112-107 preseason loss against the Thunder with 22 points (7-16 FG, 6-13 3PT, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, one assist and one steal in 21 minutes.

Impact Champagnie drew the start in Monday's preseason opener and made the most of this opportunity by producing a game-high 22 points. It was also a positive sign to see him shoot well from beyond the arc after making 36.5 percent of his threes a season ago, down from 40.2 percent during his rookie season. The 23-year-old will continue to be in the thick of a battle for playing time as the preseason rolls on.

Draws start vs. OKC Champagnie is starting Monday's preseason game against the Thunder.

Impact Devin Vassell (foot) is set to be re-evaluated Nov. 1, so even though Monday is the preseason opener, this will be a golden opportunity for Champagnie to show that he belongs with the first unit. He should see plenty of minutes with Vassell ruled out and Chris Paul (rest) getting the night off.

San Antonio Spurs Season Preview: Julian Champagnie to Continue Success Story Julian Champagnie will continue to have a sizeable role in the rebuilding San Antonio Spurs.

SEPTEMBER 2 • NEWSOBSERVER.COM

Salary becomes fully guaranteed Champagnie's $3 million salary for the 2024-25 season has been fully guaranteed, according to Michael Scotto of USA Today.

Impact This move does nothing but solidify Champagnie's roster status for the 2024-25 campaign with the Spurs, though he's likely to play a role off the bench instead of being a starter with the influx of talent the franchise added during the offseason. Champagnie started 59 of 74 games played for the Spurs and shot 36.5 percent from three-point range during the 2023-24 season.

AUGUST 2 • ROTOWIRE

Scores 17 in win Champagnie ended Tuesday's 102-87 win over the Grizzlies with 17 points (6-12 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, one assist and two steals in 30 minutes.

Impact This was the seventh game of Champagnie's career with at least 17 points. With the Spurs missing so many key players as the regular season winds down, Champagnie is getting more opportunities and certainly made the most of it Tuesday. In four April appearances, Champagnie is averaging 15.0 points, 5.0 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 1.3 blocks, 1.5 steals and 2.3 three-pointers.

APRIL 10 • ROTOWIRE

Season-high numbers in 2OT loss Champagnie closed Sunday's 133-126 double-overtime loss to the 76ers with 17 points (5-10 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 4-5 FT), eight rebounds, three assists and two steals over 40 minutes.

Impact The 17 points tied his season high, while Champagnie's eight boards represented his best effort on the glass since he closed the 2022-23 campaign with a double-double. The second-year forward is putting together a solid finish to the season and he's scored in double digits in five of the last six games, averaging 13.5 points, 5.3 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 2.3 threes, 1.0 steals and 1.0 blocks.

Returns to game Champagnie (head) has returned to Sunday's game against the 76ers, Jeff Garcia of KENS 5 San Antonio reports.

Impact Champagnie went to the locker room in the second quarter of Sunday's matchup but was back on the court to begin the second half. It seems unlikely that his head injury will be a long-term concern.

Heads to locker room Champagnie went to the locker room in the second quarter of Sunday's game against the 76ers due to an apparent laceration on his head, Jeff McDonald of the San Antonio Express-News...

Impact Champagnie was inadvertently head-butted by Keldon Johnson in the second quarter, and Champagnie had to go to the locker room to address an apparent laceration. It's unclear whether the 22-year-old will be able to return down the stretch, but he'll presumably also be tested for a concussion before being cleared to return.

APRIL 8 • ROTOWIRE

Fills stat sheet Friday Champagnie chipped in 15 points (6-11 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds, four assists, four blocks and one steal in 38 minutes during Friday's 111-109 victory over the Pelicans.

Impact Champagnie has established himself as a regular starter for the rebuilding Spurs. While he regularly operates as a secondary alternative in the offensive scheme, it seems he's ending the season on a solid note. Champagnie has scored in double digits in four of his last five outings, averaging 12.8 points per game and shooting 47.1 percent from the field in that span.

APRIL 6 • ROTOWIRE

Logs 34 minutes in win Champagnie logged 10 points (3-9 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, one assist and two steals over 34 minutes during Tuesday's 103-101 loss to the Rockets.

Impact Champagnie played at least 34 minutes for the second time in the past three games. Across those games, he is averaging 12.7 points, 4.0 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 1.0 steals and 3.3 three-pointers. While these numbers aren't going to blow anyone away, he is worth a look in slightly deeper formats, especially if he continues to outplay those around him.

MARCH 13 • ROTOWIRE

Set to play against Houston Champagnie (ankle) is available for Tuesday's game versus the Rockets, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.

Impact Champagnie has been upgraded from questionable to available Tuesday after missing the Spurs' previous contest with a right ankle sprain. The 22-year-old forward will likely reclaim his starting spot from Malaki Branham against Houston.

MARCH 6 • ROTOWIRE

Iffy for Tuesday Champagnie (ankle) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Rockets, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.

Impact Champagnie is in danger of missing a second straight game due to a right ankle sprain. If he remains sidelined, Malaki Branham may draw another start after a strong performance during Sunday's win over Indiana.

MARCH 4 • ROTOWIRE

Will not play Sunday Champagnie will not play Sunday against the Pacers, independent NBA writer Matthew Tynan reports.

Impact Champagnie suffered the injury Thursday night against the Thunder, but he's considered day-to-day. With Champagnie out, the Spurs could turn to Cedi Osman to soak up some of those available minutes.

MARCH 2 • ROTOWIRE

Token starter Champagnie notched six points (1-3 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-3 FT), two rebounds and one assist across 19 minutes during Thursday's 132-118 victory over Oklahoma City.

Impact Champagnie has started 33 straight games, but he's averaged just 19.5 minutes during that stretch. Despite being a starter, Champagnie is playing reserve-level minutes and doesn't need to be on fantasy radars. Keldon Johnson played 31 minutes off the bench Thursday, totaling 10 points (3-10 FG), four assists and two rebounds.
