Posts 23 points in starting role Champagnie produced 23 points (8-16 FG, 6-9 3Pt, 1-1 FT), five rebounds and two assists in 30 minutes during Friday's 117-98 loss to the Suns.

Impact Champagnie led the team with 23 points, and joined the first unit with Devin Vassell (ankle) potentially done for the season. Keldon Johnson (ankle) is also banged up, which leaves the lane wide open for Champagnie to start in the team's final game against Toronto. He's closing out the season on a high note, averaging 13.6 points and 4.3 rebounds over the last eight contests.

Starting sans Vassell Champagnie is in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Suns, Jeff Garcia of KENS 5 San Antonio reports.

Impact Champagnie has scored in double digits in five of his previous seven outings, and the former St. John's stud will move to a starting role due to the absence of Devin Vassell (ankle). He's averaged 12.8 points, 5.1 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 0.9 steals per game across 27 starts this season.

Slides into larger role in win Champagnie racked up 14 points (4-9 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 3-3 FT), four rebounds, four assists and two blocks over 29 minutes during Wednesday's 114-111 victory over Golden State.

Impact Champagnie stepped up with a decent line, showing his range with three three-pointers. The Spurs made a big investment in Champagnie after acquiring him from Philadelphia, but minutes have been harder to come by after starting 59 games in his first full season with the squad. The arrival of Stephon Castle and Harrison Barnes has curbed Champagnie's potential, but he still figures to be a key part of the youthful core who will complement Victor Wembanyama next season.

Starting Wednesday Champagnie is part of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Nuggets, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.

Impact Champagnie will make his first start since Dec. 15 due to the absences of Devin Vassell (ankle), Keldon Johnson (back) and Jeremy Sochan (back). In 26 starts this season, Champagnie has averaged 12.8 points, 5.2 rebounds and 1.5 assists across 29.6 minutes.

Leads second unit in loss Champagnie closed with 19 points (7-13 FG, 5-9 3Pt), four rebounds and two assists across 32 minutes during Tuesday's 116-105 loss to the Magic.

Impact The 23-year-old forward led the second unit with 19 points against Orlando, finishing as the club's second-leading scorer behind Harrison Barnes (24 points). Champagnie also racked up a team-high mark in three-pointers Tuesday, sinking at least five triples for the seventh time this season. The third-year pro has received fairly consistent playing time off the bench of late, recording double-digit points in five of his last 10 outings.

Impact Champagnie filled the box score Sunday, providing a spark on both ends of the floor off the bench. The St. John's product is shooting 46.9 percent from beyond the arc across his last six outings, during which he's averaged 10.2 points, 4.0 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 1.0 steals and 2.5 three-pointers in 22.2 minutes as a solid source of swipes and triples for fantasy managers in category-based formats.

Quiet again Wednesday Champagnie recorded seven points (3-9 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), two rebounds and two steals across 18 minutes during Wednesday's 126-116 win over Dallas.

Impact Champagnie scored single digits for the sixth straight game, continuing to play a limited role off the bench. While he has had some nice flashes this season, Champagnie has largely served as a depth piece, averaging 9.5 points and 2.0 three-pointers in 23.2 minutes per game thus far.

Ejected against Oklahoma City Champagnie was ejected from Sunday's game against the Thunder, Andrew Schlecht of The Athletic reports.

Impact Champagnie appeared to get in an altercation with Kenrich Williams, which escalated into a scuffle resulting in Champagnie, Williams and Luguentz Dort being ejected. Champagnie concludes the contest with eight points (3-4 FG, 2-3 3Pt) and two assists in 10 minutes of play.

Pops for 18 off bench Champagnie closed with 18 points (6-13 FG, 6-11 3Pt), four rebounds, four assists and two steals over 19 minutes off the bench during Sunday's 114-96 loss to the Pelicans.

Impact No San Antonio starter produced more than 13 points on the night, leaving Champagnie tied with Keldon Johnson for the team scoring lead. It's the second time in three games since Victor Wembanyama (shoulder) was lost for the season that Champagnie has delivered 15 or more points from the second unit, and Sunday's six made threes tied his season high. His usage may be on the upswing, but the third-year wing has played fewer than 20 minutes in seven straight contests, putting a firm camp on his upside.

Offense wakes up Champagnie recorded 15 points (5-7 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds and two assists over 16 minutes off the bench during Thursday's 120-109 win over the Suns.

Impact The third-year wing had gone 16 straight games without scoring in double digits before Thursday's surprising performance, with the drought extending back to a 12-point effort against the Bulls on Jan. 6. The Spurs are looking for someone, or multiple someones, to step up offensively with Victor Wembanyama (shoulder) shockingly lost for the rest of the season, so Champagnie should get plenty of chances to show he can repeat Thursday's production. Without more court time however, he's unlikely to become a consistent fantasy asset.

FEBRUARY 21 • ROTOWIRE

Offers little in loss Champagnie registered zero points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt), one rebound and one steal in 13 minutes during Saturday's 112-111 loss to the Magic.

Impact Champagnie continues to produce next to nothing, having now scored a total of just eight points in his last three games. Although he has carved out a regular spot in the rotation, his opportunities to play meaningful minutes are few and far between. In 13 games over the past month, Champagnie has averaged just 4.6 points, 1.0 steals and 1.1 three-pointers in 18.0 minutes per contest.

FEBRUARY 9 • ROTOWIRE

Two swipes in loss Champagnie closed with five points (2-5 FG, 1-3 3Pt), two rebounds, one assist and two steals over 14 minutes during Wednesday's 128-116 loss to the Clippers.

Impact Champagnie failed to score double-digit points for the eighth straight contest. Over that span, the 23-year-old forward is shooting just 31.9 percent from the field and 28.6 percent from three. However, Champagnie continues to be a disruptor on defense, as he has tallied multiple steals in nine outings in 2024-25.

JANUARY 30 • ROTOWIRE

Capped production continues Champagnie accumulated nine points (3-6 FG, 3-5 3Pt), four rebounds, two assists and one block across 22 minutes during Wednesday's 129-115 loss to the Grizzlies.

Impact Champagnie logged at least 20 minutes for the fourth time in the past six games, yet failed to produce anything of note. After a strong start to the season, Champagnie's role has reduced over the past month. He has averaged 27.0 minutes per game across the season, with that number falling to just 21.5 minutes per game over the last two weeks.

JANUARY 16 • ROTOWIRE

Hot shooting continues Champagnie had 12 points (4-9 FG, 4-9 3Pt) and four rebounds over 16 minutes during Monday's 114-110 loss to the Bulls.

Impact Champagne was highly efficient in only 16 minutes off the bench against the Bulls on Monday. He's done a decent job adjusting to a different role while continuing to be a force from beyond the arc. The 23-year-old is shooting a career-high 7.0 attempts per game from deep this season at 37.8 percent.
