The Spurs are set to fully guaranteed the contract of small forward/shooting guard Julian Champagnie, sources inform Michael Scotto of HoopsHype.
The 6-foot-8 swingman will earn $3M in 2024-25 for a rebuilding San Antonio club.
As Scott observes, Champagnie started in 59 of his 74 contests with the club last year, during a 22-60 season.
Across those 74 healthy games, he averaged 6.8 points on a .408/.365/.815 slash line. Champagnie also notched averages of 2.8 rebounds, 1.4 assists, 0.6 blocks and 0.6 steals a night, in just 19.8 minutes per game.
The 23-year-old wing went undrafted out of St. John’s in 2022, where he had earned a pair of First-Team All-Big East accolades.
The Sixers signed him to a two-way deal in 2022-23, though Philadelphia eventually cut him that February. San Antonio quickly snagged him off waivers.
Nothing is guaranteed beyond 2024-25 for Champagnie on the final two seasons of his four-year deal. He’s owed $3M in 2025-26, which is non-guaranteed until August 1, 2025. The Spurs have a $3M team option on his salary for 2026-27.
