Julian Champagnie Injury News & Updates
Keep up with the latest injuries from the Spurs vs L.A. Lakers game on tomorrow with our National Basketball Association injury report.Dec 9, 2025
Catches fire from range
Champagnie amassed 17 points (5-9 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, three assists and two steals across 29 minutes during Monday's 135-132 victory over the Pelicans.
ANALYSIS
Champagnie had his shot working from beyond the arc in this one, leading the Spurs with five made triples. He's also been active defensively, recording five steals over his last two games. The 24-year-old got off to a slow start in December by posting a seven-point showing Tuesday against Memphis, but he's responded well since by scoring in double figures in three straight matchups.
Dec 8, 2025
Won't start Monday
Champagnie won't start against the Pelicans on Monday, Jeff Garcia of KENS 5 San Antonio reports.
ANALYSIS
With Stephon Castle (hip) back in action, Champagnie will slide to the second unit. Over five appearances off the bench this season, the 24-year-old forward has averaged 9.2 points and 2.0 rebounds in 23.4 minutes per contest.
Dec 4, 2025
Accounts for 14 points in win
Champagnie closed with 14 points (5-8 FG, 4-7 3Pt) and five rebounds over 28 minutes during Wednesday's 114-112 victory over the Magic.
ANALYSIS
Champagnie has stepped up in the absence of Stephon Castle (hip) sidelined, averaging 12.8 points, 6.6 rebounds, 1.6 assists, 0.4 steals, 0.8 blocks and 2.5 threes across 30.1 minutes in his last eight starts. With Castle's timetable for return currently unknown, Champagnie should continue to enjoy an increased role until the former eventually comes back.
Nov 29, 2025
Big double-double in Friday's win
Champagnie finished Friday's 139-136 win over Denver with 25 points (6-15 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 10-10 FT), 10 rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one steal across 36 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Making his fifth straight start in place of Stephon Castle (hip), Champagnie set a new season scoring high and led the Spurs in rebounding while delivering his third straight double-double. Over the last four contests, the fourth-year wing is averaging an impressive 16.8 points, 9.3 boards, 3.0 threes, 2.5 assists and 1.3 blocks in 32.3 minutes, and with Castle still lacking a clear return timeline, Champagnie should remain a strong short-term lineup option.
Nov 27, 2025
Logs second double-double of season
Champagnie ended with 12 points (5-10 FG, 2-5 3Pt), 11 rebounds, two assists and two blocks over 32 minutes during Wednesday's 115-102 victory over the Trail Blazers.
ANALYSIS
Champagnie racked up his second consecutive double-double after dropping a 10/12/1 line against Phoenix earlier in the week. Champagnie is one of many players who stand to benefit from Victor Wembanyama's (calf) extended absence, and Stephon Castle's (hip) injury also helps his cause.
Nov 24, 2025
Double-double in Phoenix
Champagnie provided 10 points (3-14 FG, 2-9 3Pt, 2-3 FT), 12 rebounds, one assist and one steal over 30 minutes during Sunday's 111-102 loss to the Suns.
ANALYSIS
making his third straight start with Stephon Castle (hip) on the shelf, Champagnie produced his first double-double of the season. The fourth-year wing has drained multiple three-pointers in six straight contests, averaging 11.8 points, 4.0 boards, 3.0 treys and 1.2 assists in 25.7 minutes a game. Castle may not be back on the court until December, so Champagnie should maintain solid fantasy value in the short term.
Nov 21, 2025
Goes for 20 points in win Thursday
Champagnie contributed 20 points (7-13 FG, 5-10 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds, five assists and one block in 31 minutes during Thursday's 135-126 victory over the Hawks.
ANALYSIS
De'Aaron Fox led the way for the Spurs, but with several of the team's top offensive weapons sidelined due to injury, Champagnie had to step up and deliver an impressive performance. This was Champagnie's third double-digit scoring output in his last four games, a stretch in which he's averaging 13.8 points, 2.3 boards and 1.3 assists per game while shooting 45.2 percent from three-point range.
Nov 18, 2025
Starting sans Castle
Champagnie will start Tuesday's game against the Grizzlies.
ANALYSIS
With Stephon Castle (hip) sidelined, Champagnie will rejoin the starting five. In his previous eight starts this season, the 24-year-old forward averaged 10.1 points, 6.3 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.4 steals in 29.9 minutes per contest.
Nov 15, 2025
Bounces back with14 points
Champagnie chipped in 14 points (4-9 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and two rebounds across 23 minutes during Friday's 109-108 loss to the Warriors.
ANALYSIS
Although Champagnie is dealing with a hip injury, he logged 23 minutes and bounced back in the finale of the two-game set with the Warriors. Champagnie's recent demotion is the result of a first-unit shift to make room for De'Aaron Fox, but his defensive skills should be enough to earn him quality minutes as the season progresses. In the meantime, he'll play a reserve role behind Devin Vassell and Harrison Barnes, who are both firmly entrenched at their positions.
Nov 14, 2025
Available Friday
Champagnie (hip) is available for Friday's game against the Warriors, Jeff Garcia of KENS 5 San Antonio reports.
ANALYSIS
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.
Nov 14, 2025
Added to injury report
Champagnie is questionable for Friday's game against the Warriors with a right hip contusion.
ANALYSIS
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.
Nov 8, 2025
Not starting Saturday
Champagnie is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Pelicans, according to NBA reporter Matthew Tynan.
ANALYSIS
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.
Nov 7, 2025
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.
ANALYSIS
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.
Nov 3, 2025
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.
ANALYSIS
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.
Oct 26, 2025
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.
ANALYSIS
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.
Oct 23, 2025
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.
ANALYSIS
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.
Oct 17, 2025
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.
ANALYSIS
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.
Oct 9, 2025
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.
ANALYSIS
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.
Oct 7, 2025
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.
ANALYSIS
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.
Apr 14, 2025
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.
ANALYSIS
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.
Apr 12, 2025
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.
ANALYSIS
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.
Apr 11, 2025
Starting sans Vassell
Champagnie is in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Suns, Jeff Garcia of KENS 5 San Antonio reports.
ANALYSIS
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.
Apr 10, 2025
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.
ANALYSIS
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.
Apr 4, 2025
Won't start vs. Cleveland
Champagnie won't start in Friday's game against the Cavaliers, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Devin Vassell (ankle) will return to game action after missing Wednesday's win over Denver, pushing Champagnie to the bench. The 23-year-old has averaged 12.0 points, 4.2 rebounds and 1.6 assists across 26.2 minutes per game in his last five outings (one start).
Apr 2, 2025
Starting Wednesday
Champagnie is part of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Nuggets, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.
ANALYSIS
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.
Apr 1, 2025
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.
ANALYSIS
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.
Mar 23, 2025
Strong two-way effort off bench
Champagnie had 20 points (6-9 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 4-5 FT), five rebounds, two assists, one block and three steals across 23 minutes during Sunday's 123-89 win over the Raptors.
ANALYSIS
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.
Mar 13, 2025
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.
ANALYSIS
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.
Mar 2, 2025
Ejected against Oklahoma City
Champagnie was ejected from Sunday's game against the Thunder, Andrew Schlecht of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
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.
Feb 24, 2025
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.
ANALYSIS
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.
Feb 21, 2025
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.
ANALYSIS
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.
Feb 8, 2025
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.
ANALYSIS
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.
Jan 30, 2025
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.
ANALYSIS
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.
Jan 16, 2025
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.
ANALYSIS
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.
Jan 7, 2025
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.
ANALYSIS
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.
Dec 23, 2024
Leads bench with 15 points
Champagnie recorded 15 points (5-10 FG, 5-10 3Pt), eight rebounds, one assist and one block over 29 minutes during Monday's 111-106 loss to the 76ers.
ANALYSIS
Champagnie led San Antonio's bench in scoring Monday and connected on five three-pointers for the fourth time this season. He finished tied with Jeremy Sochan and Devin Vassell as the Spurs' second-leading scorer behind Victor Wembanyama (26). Champagnie started in the first 26 games of the regular season, but he's come off the bench in the Spurs' last three games as Vassell has been inserted into the starting lineup. Since and including Dec. 1, Champagnie has averaged 14.2 points and 5.2 rebounds over 29.3 minutes per game.
Dec 19, 2024
Coming off bench Thursday
Champagnie will come off the bench in Thursday's game against the Hawks.
ANALYSIS
The 23-year-old will slide to the bench in favor of Devin Vassell on Thursday. Champagnie has started in all 26 of his regular-season appearances thus far, and in his last five outings, he has averaged 16.8 points and 4.6 rebounds across 31.0 minutes per contest.
Dec 14, 2024
Drops 19 in Friday's win
Champagnie accumulated 19 points (7-14 FG, 5-10 3Pt, 0-1 FT), five rebounds, one assist and one block in 31 minutes during Friday's 118-116 victory over Portland.
ANALYSIS
The third-year wing continues to hold down a starting role for the Spurs, even with the rest of the roster getting healthier again. Champagnie has played over 30 minutes in eight of the last 10 games, averaging 15.7 points, 4.7 boards, 3.0 threes, 1.5 assists, 1.0 steals and 0.8 blocks over that stretch in 31.9 minutes a contest.
Dec 2, 2024
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.
ANALYSIS
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.
Nov 28, 2024
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.
ANALYSIS
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.
Nov 27, 2024
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.
ANALYSIS
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.
Nov 20, 2024
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.
ANALYSIS
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.
Nov 12, 2024
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.
ANALYSIS
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.
Nov 5, 2024
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.
ANALYSIS
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.
Nov 1, 2024
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.
ANALYSIS
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.
Oct 25, 2024
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.
ANALYSIS
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.
Oct 24, 2024
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.
ANALYSIS
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.
Oct 7, 2024
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.
ANALYSIS
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.
Oct 7, 2024
Draws start vs. OKC
Champagnie is starting Monday's preseason game against the Thunder.
ANALYSIS
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.
Aug 1, 2024
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.
ANALYSIS
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.
Apr 10, 2024
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.
ANALYSIS
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.
Apr 8, 2024
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.
ANALYSIS
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.
Apr 7, 2024
Returns to game
Champagnie (head) has returned to Sunday's game against the 76ers, Jeff Garcia of KENS 5 San Antonio reports.
ANALYSIS
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.
Apr 7, 2024
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 reports.
ANALYSIS
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.
Apr 6, 2024
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.
ANALYSIS
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.
Mar 13, 2024
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.
ANALYSIS
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.
Mar 5, 2024
Set to play against Houston
Champagnie (ankle) is available for Tuesday's game versus the Rockets, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.
ANALYSIS
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.
Mar 4, 2024
Iffy for Tuesday
Champagnie (ankle) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Rockets, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.
ANALYSIS
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.
Mar 2, 2024
Will not play Sunday
Champagnie will not play Sunday against the Pacers, independent NBA writer Matthew Tynan reports.
ANALYSIS
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.
Mar 1, 2024
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.
ANALYSIS
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.
Feb 13, 2024
Pseudo starter
Champagnie finished Monday's 122-99 win over the Raptors with two points (1-3 FG, 0-2 3Pt) and one rebound over 10 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Champagnie was unimpactful in Monday's loss to Toronto. He's been an active defender and rebounder at times this season, but he remains far removed from fantasy radar.
Feb 3, 2024
Mediocre Friday
Champagnie contributed five points (2-6 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), six rebounds, three assists and three blocks across 30 minutes during Friday's 114-113 loss to the Pelicans.
ANALYSIS
Champagnie chipped in across the board Friday, which marked his second game with over 25 minutes played this season. He is an active defensive playmaker, but his inconsistent offense and limited usage best profiles him as a streaming candidate when San Antonio is extremely shorthanded.
Jan 23, 2024
Looking good from beyond arc
Champagnie supplied 12 points (3-4 FG, 3-3 3Pt, 3-3 FT), two rebounds and one assist across 15 minutes during Monday's 133-123 loss to Philadelphia.
ANALYSIS
The 22-year-old forward is beginning to get comfortable in a secondary role for the Spurs. Champagnie has drained at least one three-pointer in seven straight games, tying his career-long streak, and during that time he's averaging 10.1 points, 3.4 boards, 2.3 threes and 1.4 assists while shooting 48.5 percent (16-for-33) from beyond the arc.
Jan 14, 2024
Failing to capitalize
Champagnie closed Saturday's 122-116 loss to Chicago with six points (1-5 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-3 FT), five rebounds and four assists over 17 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Champagnie has been remarkably quiet over his last five games, averaging just 3.8 points and 2.6 rebounds while shooting 18.2 percent from the field in 19.2 minutes per game. A silver lining for the 22-year-old was a season-high four assists Saturday, but he's failing to impress in a starting role at the moment.
Jan 3, 2024
Scores 12 points Tuesday
Champagnie supplied 12 points (3-6 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 3-3 FT), four rebounds, two assists and one steal over 22 minutes during Tuesday's 106-98 loss to the Grizzlies.
ANALYSIS
Champagnie has started six consecutive games, but he hasn't been very consistent, scoring seven or fewer points in three of those outings and reaching the 15-point mark just once. Given the uncertainty of roles in the Spurs rotation and the fact Champagnie hasn't been able to stand out with extended minutes, his fantasy appeal is minimal at the moment and shouldn't be targeted outside of deep formats.
Dec 23, 2023
Moves into starting lineup
Champagnie will start Saturday's game against Dallas.
ANALYSIS
The Spurs have lost their last three games, and they have one win to their name in December. Champagnie's minutes have been way down, as he's averaging 9.1 minutes in nine December games. He'll get a chance to impress with the first unit, while Keldon Johnson moves to the bench.
Dec 18, 2023
Efficient shooter off bench
Champagnie amassed 15 points (5-6 FG, 5-6 3Pt), one rebound, one assist and two blocks in 14 minutes during Sunday's 146-110 loss to the Pelicans.
ANALYSIS
Champagnie saw minutes off the bench amid the struggles of the Spurs' regular rotation members, and he certainly caused a good impression after missing just one of his six attempts from beyond the arc. He might be in line to see more minutes off the bench in the near future, but even if that's the case, don't expect Champagnie to have a role in fantasy formats any time soon.
Dec 6, 2023
Moves back to bench
Champagnie isn't in the starting five for Wednesday's game versus the Timberwolves, Andrew Lopez of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Champagnie, Malaki Branham and Jeremy Sochan will move to the bench Wednesday with Devin Vassell, Cedi Osman and Victor Wembanyama entering the starting lineup. Champagnie is averaging 6.8 points and 1.2 rebounds in 12.8 minutes across his previous five appearances coming off the bench this season.
Dec 1, 2023
Starting Friday
Champagnie will start Friday's game against the Pelicans, Jeff Garcia of KENS 5 San Antonio reports.
ANALYSIS
The Spurs are without Victor Wembanyama due to a hip issue, but they will roll with a smaller lineup Friday. Champagnie has already made four starts this season, averaging 8.3 points, 2.8 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 1.3 blocks, 1.3 steals and 2.0 three-pointers.
Dec 1, 2023
Season high in loss
Champagnie added 15 points (5-8 FG, 5-8 3Pt) and three rebounds through 20 minutes in Thursday's 137-135 loss to the Hawks.
ANALYSIS
Thursday's matchup also marked Champagnie's second consecutive double-digit scoring output and third overall this season. In his last six games, the first four of which were all starts, Champagnie is averaging 10.2 points, 2.5 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 1.0 blocks and 0.8 steals across 22.7 minutes. With Victor Wembanyama (hip) and Doug McDermott (illness) ruled out for Friday's contest against the Pelicans, expect Champagnie to see extended playing time until they return.
Nov 22, 2023
Slides to second unit
Champagnie won't start Wednesday's game against the Clippers.
ANALYSIS
After making four straight starts, Champagnie will be replaced in the first unit by Malaki Branham. Over that stretch, he's averaged 8.3 points, 2.8 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 2.6 steals/blocks. However, with the Spurs at full heath, expect Champagnie's workload to diminish.
Nov 15, 2023
Elite two-way effort
Champagnie chipped in 13 points (4-14 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, three assists, three blocks and four steals across 31 minutes during Tuesday's 123-87 loss to the Thunder.
ANALYSIS
Champagnie had arguably the best game of his career in the loss, making the most of his starting role. With Keldon Johnson sidelined due to a knee concern, Champagnie slid into the opening unit, also seeing additional run as the game descended into garbage time. It really was a perfect storm, especially given he had not even been a nightly part of the rotation prior to Tuesday. If Johnson misses more time, Champagnie might be worth taking a flyer on just to see if this game leads to more production.
Nov 14, 2023
Gets starting nod
Champagnie is in the starting five for Tuesday's game versus the Thunder.
ANALYSIS
Champagnie will replace Keldon Johnson (knee) in the starting lineup Tuesday. Champagnie will likely see a significant increase from his average of 7.2 minutes per game against Oklahoma City.
Oct 9, 2023
Starting preseason opener
Champagnie is in the starting lineup for Monday's preseason game against Oklahoma City, Jeff McDonald of the San Antonio Express-News reports.
ANALYSIS
Champagnie will get a chance with the first unit Monday evening with Keldon Johnson sitting due to general soreness. Champagnie put together a strong campaign during Summer League and could be in line for steady bench minutes behind Johnson at small forward once the regular season begins.
Jul 7, 2023
Drops 20 points in win
Champagnie produced 20 points (7-15 FG, 4-10 3PT, 2-3 FT), eight rebounds, six assists and one block in 30 minutes of Friday's 76-68 Summer League win over the Hornets.
ANALYSIS
Champagnie was one of the most impressive players during the Salt Lake City Summer League, averaging 29.0 points, 6.5 rebounds, 1.0 assists, 2.0 steals, 1.0 block and 5.0 three-pointers in two appearances. He carried that momentum over to Vegas and had one of the highlights of the tournaments so far with a monster dunk over James Nnaji. Champagnie is doing everything he can to show that he's ready for rotation minutes in 2023-24.
Jul 5, 2023
Continues Summer League dominance
Champagnie recorded 28 points (8-17 FG, 5-10 3PT, 7-7 FT), five rebounds and two blocks over 27 minutes of Wednesday's 109-99 Summer League win over the Lakers.
ANALYSIS
After dropping 30 points in the Spurs' Summer League opener, Champagnie poured in 28 more points Wednesday. Though Victor Wembenyama is expected to join the team in Las Vegas for their upcoming games, Champagnie should remain one of San Antonio's top options.
Jul 3, 2023
Drops 30 points in win
Champagnie scored 30 points (9-20 FG, 5-12 3Pt, 7-9 FT) and added eight rebounds, two assists and four steals in 25 minutes during Monday's Summer League game against the Hornets.
ANALYSIS
Champagnie scored 15 of his 30 points from beyond the arc in this one and led the Spurs' scoring attack in the first action of Summer League. After inking a four-year, $12 million contract at the end of June, the second-year guard has plenty to prove heading into his second NBA season.
Jun 30, 2023
Returning to San Antonio
The Spurs signed Champagnie to a four-year, $12 million contract with a team option for 2026-27 on Friday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Champagnie split time between San Antonio and Philadelphia in his rookie season. In 15 games for the Spurs in 2022-23, he averaged 11.0 points and 4.0 rebounds in 20.8 minutes on 46.1/40.7/82.4 shooting splits. Champagnie is set to be a cheap, long-term option for the Spurs as they attempt to complete their rebuild.
Jun 30, 2023
Nets qualifying offer
The Spurs tendered Champagnie a two-way qualifying offer Thursday, making him a restricted free agent, Keith Smith of Spotrac.com reports.
ANALYSIS
San Antonio will not be able to match any contract offer from another team. Champagnie played in 17 games between the 76ers and Spurs as a rookie last season and averaged 9.7 points and 3.5 rebounds in 18.8 minutes.
Apr 10, 2023
Bags first career double-double
Champagnie totaled 16 points (5-16 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 10 rebounds and three assists in 33 minutes in Sunday's 138-117 win over the Mavericks.
ANALYSIS
Due to San Antonio holding out several key rotation players over the final few weeks of the season, Champagnie was able to take hold of a consistent 20-plus-minute role down the stretch. He wrapped up his rookie campaign with a double-double and averaged 20.0 points (on 47.9 percent shooting from the field), 6.2 boards, 3.8 three-pointers, 1.2 assists and 0.6 steals over his last five outings to conclude the season. Though Champagnie won't be in line to handle heavy minutes to begin the 2023-24 season and may not even be part of the rotation, he likely showed enough for San Antonio to retain him while he heads into restricted free agency this summer.
Apr 8, 2023
Notches second start of season
Champagnie will start in Saturday's game against the Timberwolves.
ANALYSIS
Champagnie will draw the start Saturday with the Spurs down four of their five starters. In his only other start of the season, Champagnie scored two points on one-of-six shooting from the field. However, he has been on a hot streak lately, averaging 20.0 points, 5.7 rebounds and 1.0 steals over 27.1 minutes per game in his last three appearances.
Apr 7, 2023
Another strong performance
Champagnie logged 24 points (8-14 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 3-4 FT), five rebounds, one assist and two steals across 25 minutes during Thursday's 129-127 victory over the Trail Blazers.
ANALYSIS
Champagnie has finished with at least 10 points and five rebounds in three consecutive contests, including two 20-plus-point outings during that stretch. Over his past 10 appearances (one start), the undrafted rookie out of St. John's has averaged 10.9 points, 3.9 rebounds and 1.0 steals-plus-blocks in 21.5 minutes per game.
Mar 31, 2023
Coming off bench
Champagnie will play a reserve role in Friday's game against the Warriors, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.
ANALYSIS
After a one-game stint in the starting lineup, Champagnie will return to a bench role. He has averaged 5.5 points and 2.2 rebounds across 12.9 minutes in 10 games as a reserve this season.
Mar 29, 2023
Making first career start
Champagnie will start in Wednesday's game against the Jazz.
ANALYSIS
Champagnie will step into the first five with Devin Vassell (knee), Keldon Johnson (foot) and Jeremy Sochan (knee) sidelined. The undrafted rookie has enjoyed an increased role in his last five games, averaging 7.8 points and 3.0 rebounds over 18.3 minutes.
Mar 24, 2023
Scores 12 against Washington
Champagnie supplied 12 points (5-8 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three rebounds and two blocks in 18 minutes during Friday's 136-124 loss to the Wizards.
ANALYSIS
The Spurs had 10 players on their injury report coming into Friday's game, and we will probably see that quite a bit down the stretch as the Spurs take their foot off the gas. Champagnie has made the most of his limited minutes in recent games, hitting a total of eight triples over his last four contests.
Mar 4, 2023
Recalled from G League
Champagnie will be available for the Spurs' meeting with the Rockets on Saturday, Jeff Garcia of KENS 5 San Antonio reports.
ANALYSIS
Champagnie's recall aligns with the absences of Devin Vassell (knee), Keldon Johnson (foot), Malaki Branham (back) and Doug McDermott (thumb) Saturday, meaning the 21-year-old could crack the rotation for the first time since Nov. 27.
Feb 28, 2023
Struggles from field in loss
Champagnie recorded 28 points (10-25 FG, 6-12 3Pt, 1-1 FT), seven rebounds, an assist and three blocks across 35 minutes in Friday's loss to Santa Cruz.
ANALYSIS
Champagnie's stat line looks good at first glance, as he ended the game second in scoring while also tying for the second-best mark in rebounds, but he struggled massively from the field and needed 25 shots to score 28 points. Despite the shooting woes, he should remain a valuable offensive player for Austin.
Feb 16, 2023
Headed to San Antonio
The Spurs signed Champagnie to a two-way deal on Thursday, Tom Osborn of the San Antonio Express-News reports.
ANALYSIS
Champagnie will join the Spurs after being released from the 76ers on Tuesday. He averaged only 3.5 minutes across two games for Philadelphia in the NBA this season. Champagnie will join Dominick Barlow as two-way players for a rebuilding San Antonio squad.
Feb 14, 2023
Cut by Sixers
The 76ers waived Champagnie on Tuesday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
The undrafted rookie out of St. John's had been playing under a two-way deal for the 76ers, but Philadelphia will move on from Champagnie and hand his roster spot to second-year guard Mac McClung. Champagnie appeared in just two games for the NBA team and had seen the overwhelming share of his opportunities with the G League's Delaware Blue Coats this season. In 18 appearances for Delaware, the 6-foot-7 forward averaged 14.3 points (on 41.9 percent shooting from the field), 5.7 rebounds, 2.5 three-pointers, 1.9 assists, 0.9 blocks and 0.6 steals in 28.7 minutes per contest.
Nov 18, 2022
Available Friday
Champagnie will join the 76ers' active roster for Friday's meeting with the Bucks, Justin Grasso of SI.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Champagnie has been spending time with the 76ers G League affiliate Delaware Blue Coats but will make the trip back to Philadelphie for a meeting with the Bucks. He likely will not factor into Friday's rotation.
