Julian Champagnie Signs Big Deal | NBA News

Julian Champagnie is staying put with the Spurs on a massive 3-year, $45 million deal—averaging $12 million annually—locking him in through the 2029 season. A key contributor known for elite shooting, defense, and rebounding, he’s earned a starting role and led the team in 3PT% last season while posting career highs in points and rebounds. Undrafted and waived by Philly, Champagnie turned things around under Popovich’s guidance, embracing the grind and becoming a full-time starter. He shattered the franchise’s single-season 3PT record, surpassing Danny Green, yet remains humble, crediting teammates. Coach Mitch Johnson calls him an “unsung hero” for fueling the team’s fast-paced offense. This extension fits the Spurs’ long-term vision, anchoring their future alongside Wembanyama and Castle.
