Spurs' Julian Champagnie: 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.
Champagnie drew the start in Monday's preseason opener and made the most of the 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 in his rookie season. The 23-year-old will continue to be in the thick of a battle for a spot in the starting lineup as the preseason rolls on.

Spurs' Julian Champagnie: Draws start vs. OKC
Champagnie is starting Monday's preseason game against the Thunder.
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.

Spurs' Julian Champagnie: 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.
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 based on 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.

Spurs' Julian Champagnie: 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.
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.

Spurs' Julian Champagnie: 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.
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.

Champagnie (head) has returned to Sunday's game against the 76ers, Jeff Garcia of KENS 5 San Antonio reports.

Spurs' Julian Champagnie: 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.
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.

Spurs' Julian Champagnie: 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.
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.

Spurs' Julian Champagnie: 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.
Champagnie played at least 34 minutes for the second time in the past three games. Across those games, he's averaged 12.7 points, 4.0 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 1.0 steals and 3.3 three-pointers. While these numbers aren't blowing anyone away, he is worth a look in slightly deeper formats, especially if he continues to outplay those around him.

Champagnie (ankle) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Rockets, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.

Spurs' Julian Champagnie: Out Sunday with ankle sprain
Champagnie won't play Sunday against the Pacers due to a right ankle sprain.
Champagnie suffered the injury in Thursday's 132-118 win over the Thunder and is considered day-to-day. The second-year wing has started in each of the Spurs' last 33 games, but he's averaging just 19.5 minutes per contest and merely serves as a placeholder on the top unit for the spot that used to belong to Keldon Johnson, who has been serving as San Antonio's sixth man. Whomever replaces Champagnie in the starting five Sunday may not be in store for meaningful run.

Spurs' Julian Champagnie: 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.
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.

Spurs' Julian Champagnie: Quiet in blowout win
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.
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.

Spurs' Julian Champagnie: Makes defensive impact in loss
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.
With Keldon Johnson (elbow) sidelined for a second straight game, Champagnie took on his second-most minutes of the season and was active on the defensive end. Champagnie continues to start at small forward for the Spurs, but aside from occasionally contributing in the two defensive categories, he's not seeing enough usage or minutes on a game-by-game basis to make for an appealing option outside of deeper leagues.

Spurs' Julian Champagnie: 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.
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 averaged 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.

Spurs' Julian Champagnie: 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.
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.

Spurs' Julian Champagnie: 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.
Champagnie has started six consecutive games but hasn't been very consistent, scoring seven or fewer points in three of those outings while reaching the 15-point mark just once. Given the uncertainty of the Spurs' rotation and the fact that Champagnie hasn't been able to stand out with extended minutes, his fantasy appeal is minimal at the moment, and he shouldn't be targeted outside of deep formats.

Spurs' Julian Champagnie: Moves into starting lineup
Champagnie will start Saturday's game against Dallas.
The Spurs have lost their last three games, and they have one win to their name in December. Champagnie's minutes have been down, averaging 9.1 minutes over his last nine appearances. He'll get a chance to impress with the first unit Saturday, while Keldon Johnson moves to the bench.
