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 posted his best scoring output of the season Monday, and he notched double-digit scoring numbers for the first time since Oct. 26.

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.
