Julian Champagnie poised for breakout campaign with Spurs in 2024-25 | NBA.com Roughly a quarter of the way through the regular season, 3rd-year forward Julian Champagnie is having a career-best year so far.

DECEMBER 2, 2024 • NBA.COM

Comes close to double-double Champagnie chipped in 19 points (5-10 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 5-5 FT), eight rebounds, one assist, one block and two steals across 32 minutes during Sunday's 127-125 victory over Sacramento.

Impact Champagnie has been one of the standout performers for the Spurs this season, and he's having a breakthrough year while settling well in a starting role. The eight boards tied a season-high mark for him, and he's also scored in double digits in all but one of his last 10 appearances. The third-year forward out of St. John's is averaging 13.5 points, 5.2 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.2 steals per game in that stretch.

Goes for 18 points in loss Champagnie finished Wednesday's 119-101 loss to the Lakers with 18 points (6-12 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 3-3 FT), five rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal across 31 minutes.

Impact Champagnie has settled in well in a starting role this season, and he's been surprisingly productive despite not having a substantial role in the Spurs' offensive scheme. The former St. John's star has scored in double digits in all but one of his last nine outings, averaging 12.9 points, 4.9 rebounds and 1.7 assists per game while shooting 34.3 percent from deep in that span.

Posts 15 points in win Champagnie totaled 15 points (4-9 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 3-3 FT), four rebounds, two assists and three steals over 36 minutes during Tuesday's 128-115 victory over Utah.

Impact Champagnie's numbers have been a little rocky as an everyday starter with the Spurs, but he's shown an ability to consistently contribute in secondary categories. Over 23 games, the third-year pro is averaging 11.2 points, 5.2 rebounds and 1.7 assists.

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, 2024 • 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.

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.

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.
