Available Friday Champagnie (hip) is available for Friday's game against the Warriors, Jeff Garcia of KENS 5 San Antonio reports.

Impact Champagnie was added to the injury report Thursday due to a right hip contusion, but he's been upgraded to available, meaning he should handle his regular workload. Champagnie is averaging 9.2 points, 5.1 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.8 three-pointers in 28.0 minutes across 11 appearances (eight starts) this season.

Added to injury report Champagnie is questionable for Friday's game against the Warriors with a right hip contusion.

Impact Champagnie was a new addition to the injury report overnight. He's played a key role thus far, averaging 9.2 points, 5.1 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.8 three-pointers in 28.0 minutes across 11 appearances (eight starts). If he's unable to play, guys like Keldon Johnson, Jeremy Sochan and Lindy Waters could become more involved.

Not starting Saturday Champagnie is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Pelicans, according to NBA reporter Matthew Tynan.

Impact Champagnie will move to the second unit to make way for the return of De'Aaron Fox (hamstring). Champagnie should still see considerable minutes, though. He averaged 10.1 points, 6.4 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.4 steals per game in his first eight games of the season, all of them as a starter.

Snatches six five in victory Champagnie finished with 22 points (6-14 FG, 6-13 3Pt, 4-4 FT), seven rebounds, one assist and five steals in 31 minutes during Friday's 121-110 win over the Rockets.

Impact Champagnie was all over the place in this one, creating havoc on the defensive end and he had his shot falling on the other end of the floor as he tied his career-high in triples. He's been hit-or-miss this season, but Champagnie has been trending up over the past three, with averages of 15.0 points, 6.3 rebounds, 3.3 triples, 2.7 steals and 2.3 turnovers per contest.

Tacks two steals in loss Champagnie totaled nine points (2-4 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 4-4 FT), five rebounds, one assist and two steals in 29 minutes during Sunday's 130-118 loss to the Suns.

Impact Champagnie has been an integral part of the Spurs' rotation, starting all six games thus far to start the season and playing in at least 25 minutes in those six starts. When De'Aaron Fox (hamstring) inevitably returns from injury, Champagnie will likely be relegated to the bench, but he has been productive for San Antonio, who is off to a remarkable 5-1 start.

Victor Wembanyama and the Spurs move to 4-0 with a 121-103 win over the Raptors

Reaches double figures Champagnie posted 13 points (4-5 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 2-3 FT), six rebounds and two assists across 31 minutes during Sunday's 118-107 win over the Nets.

Impact Champagnie scored in double digits for the first time this season after being held to 12 total points in his previous two appearances of the 2025-26 regular season. He did so by capitalizing on limited offensive opportunities, scorching the net for three triples on just four attempts. Champagnie continues to see opportunities with the first unit and should remain in this role until the Spurs get healthier.

Plays 25 minutes as starter Champagnie provided five points (1-3 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-3 FT), four rebounds, two assists and one steal in 25 minutes during Wednesday's 125-92 win over the Mavericks.

Impact Like he did during the preseason, Champagnie started alongside Stephon Castle, Devin Vassell, Harrison Barnes and Victor Wembanyama. Champagnie tied Keldon Johnson with 25 minutes, and rookie Dylan Harper saw 23 minutes in his debut. Champagnie's playing time will likely tick down even more when De'Aaron Fox (hamstring), Jeremy Sochan (wrist) and Kelly Olynyk (heel) are cleared to suit up. However, it's unclear when that'll be, and Champagnie appears locked into a starting role until then.

Shoots well in preseason finale Champagnie tallied 15 points (5-6 FG, 5-6 3Pt), three rebounds and one block over 23 minutes during Friday's 133-104 preseason win over the Pacers.

Impact Champagnie led both teams with five three-pointers, and he finished tied with Luke Kornet for third most points on the Spurs behind Victor Wembanyama (17) and Stephon Castle (16). Champagnie connected on 37.1 percent of his three-point attempts during the 2024-25 regular season, but the fourth-year wing has gone 15-for-23 on three-point attempts over the Spurs' last four preseason games. He started in each of San Antonio's five exhibition contests and could start in Wednesday's regular-season opener against the Mavericks if De'Aaron Fox (hamstring) is unable to play.

Another strong showing Champagnie recorded 15 points (5-8 FG, 5-7 3Pt), four assists, three rebounds, two steals and one block in 24 minutes of Wednesday's 112-107 preseason win over Miami.

Impact After putting up 16 points (4-8 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 4-5 FT), four rebounds, two assists and two steals in 16 minutes of Monday's 119-88 preseason opener, Champagnie drew another start Wednesday and kept his foot on the gas. The Spurs are still without several regulars due to injuries, but Champagnie has likely made a strong impression on the coaching staff. He'll be looking to build some momentum after appearing in all 82 regular-season games for the Spurs in 2024-25.

OCTOBER 9 • ROTOWIRE

Scores 16 points in win Champagnie produced 16 points (4-8 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 4-5 FT), four rebounds, two assists and two steals in 16 minutes of Monday's 119-88 preseason win over the Guangzhou Loong-Lions.

Impact The Spurs were missing numerous players to open the preseason, allowing Champagnie to draw the start. Champagnie is expected to be a key part of the second unit this season after appearing in 82 regular-season games for the Spurs in 2024-25 with averages of 9.9 points, 3.9 rebounds, 1.4 assists, 0.7 steals and 2.2 three-pointers.

OCTOBER 7 • ROTOWIRE

Plays well in 35 minutes Champagnie racked up 14 points (5-9 FG, 4-6 3Pt), six rebounds, one assist and one block across 35 minutes during Sunday's 125-118 win over the Raptors.

Impact Champagnie became a key role player for the Spurs down the stretch, particularly after the team started battling multiple injuries. Champagnie saw action in all 82 regular-season games, finishing just outside the top-150 in nine-category formats for per-game value with 9.9 points, 3.9 rebounds, 1.4 assists, 0.7 steals, 0.4 blocks and 2.2 three-pointers on 41.5 percent from the field and 90.4 percent from beyond the arc.
