Julian Champagnie

Julian Champagnie (back) will be available to play in Saturday's game against the Boston Celtics.

Fantasy Impact

A back injury left Champagnie with a comfortable tag heading into Saturday, but it's not a serious issue and won't leave him sidelined against the Celtics. He projects to continue to see a large workload in this matchup and beyond.

Julian Champagnie (back) is listed questionable for Saturday's game against the Boston Celtics.

Fantasy Impact

Champagnie is a new addition to San Antonio's injury report, being listed with a back injury that will leave him uncertain to play against the Celtics. Fantasy managers should expect more work for Jeremy Sochan if he's ruled out ahead of tip-off.

Julian Champagnie broke the 20-point barrier for the third time in his last four games Tuesday, finishing with 23 points (7-of-11 FGs, 4-of-5 FTs), eight rebounds, three steals, and two assists across 31 minutes in San Antonio's loss to the Grizzlies. The 24-year-old guard exploded out of the gate, draining four three-pointers en route to a game-high 15 points in the opening quarter before cooling off considerably over the final three frames.

Fantasy Impact

Champagnie's recent production makes him worth a speculative roster add in all fantasy formats, though some regression appears inevitable given his track record. He's currently riding an unsustainably hot shooting stretch that's unlikely to continue at this pace.

Julian Champagnie remained productive in 29 minutes during Wednesday's victory over the Lakers, tallying 16 points on efficient 6-of-8 shooting. He added seven rebounds, two assists, one steal, one block, and a pair of three-pointers to his line.

Fantasy Impact

Despite the recent return of Stephon Castle, Champagnie has maintained a steady workload, logging 29 minutes in back-to-back contests. While his playing time has dipped slightly from the 35-plus minutes he saw recently, he continues to provide value across multiple categories. His role may face further pressure as Castle ramps up, but he remains a viable option in deeper leagues.

Julian Champagnie put up 25 points (6-15 FG, 3-9 3PT, 10-10 FT) and grabbed ten rebounds in Friday's 139-136 win over the Denver Nuggets.

Fantasy Impact

Champagnie looked great on Friday night, dropping 25 points and logging his third-straight double-double in a big win over the Nuggets. He will see less work whenever Victor Wembanyama (calf) is back in the lineup for San Antonio, but he should continue to be a worthwhile fantasy asset until then.
