Spurs Sign Julian Champagnie to Three-Year, $45 Million Extension

The deal locks in a breakout shooter whose 82-game durability plus franchise three-point records bolster the Spurs’ young core led by Victor Wembanyama.

Overview

  • Champagnie agreed to a three-year, $45 million extension that keeps him with San Antonio through the 2028–29 season, a move reported this weekend by multiple outlets.
  • The contract rewards a rapid turnaround after he was waived by Philadelphia in February 2023 and claimed by the Spurs two days later.
  • Last season Champagnie played all 82 games, averaged 11.1 points and 5.8 rebounds, and set Spurs marks with 192 three-pointers in a season and 11 in a single game.
  • He made a surprise visit to USAA’s Gold Star Gamers' Cup to play games with military families and help pack school supplies, underscoring his growing local community role.
  • San Antonio keeps a reliable wing shooter and rebounder in place as it builds around Victor Wembanyama, while Champagnie says he hopes to spend his career with the franchise and gains long-term financial security.
