He finished his rookie year with the Spurs and became a starter in 2023-24. Champagnie played in all 82 regular season games in 2024-25 and 2025-26, improving each year in almost every statistical category. His streak of 185 consecutive regular-season games played is the second-longest active streak in the league.<\/p>\n<p>Champagnie averaged 11.1 points, 5.8 rebounds and 1.5 assists for the Western Conference champion Spurs last season while shooting 38.1% from 3-point range. He set the franchise single-season record with 195 made 3-pointers \u2014 and the single-game record with 11 against the New York Knicks on Dec. 31. Champagnie had a career-high 36 points in that game while setting the NBA record for made 3-pointers by an undrafted player and also became the first player in league history to score at least 36 points without attempting a two-point field goal.<\/p>\n<p>The 25-year-old native of New York contributed valuable floor spacing, hustle and leadership from his spot on the wing for the Spurs over 23 playoffs games while shooting nearly 40% from 3-point range.<\/p>\n<p>Champagnie\u2019s twin brother, Justin Champagnie, also went undrafted out of Pittsburgh and has played for three NBA teams, including the past three seasons with the Washington Wizards.<\/p>\n<p>Information from The Associated Press was used in this report.<\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Julian Champagnie has become a key part of San Antonio\u2019s young core as the Spurs look to return&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":770824,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[434],"tags":[49,48,14108,140772,459,82,21760],"class_list":["post-770823","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nba","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-free-agency","tag-julian-champagnie","tag-nba","tag-sports","tag-spurs"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/770823","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=770823"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/770823\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/770824"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=770823"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=770823"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=770823"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
