Some silver lining to the gray cloud was Julian Champagnie’s six three-pointers. He ended the afternoon with eighteen points on 6 of 9 shooting beyond the arc. None were bigger than this one hit in overtime: 1️⃣9️⃣2️⃣ pic.twitter.com/sP82IBbouS— San Antonio Spurs – x (@spurs) April 4, 2026 His grand total of 192 threes in a single season bested Danny Green’s 191 from the 2104-2015 season, elevating Champagnie to the franchise leader. FRANCHISE. RECORD. 🎯@JulianChampagn2 has now hit the most three-pointers for the Spurs in a single season! pic.twitter.com/XGjMDiD5yv— San Antonio Spurs – x (@spurs) April 4, 2026 With four home games remaining, Champagnie has the opportunity to crack 200 hits from downtown in one season. Following Keldon Johnson’s recent milestone — becoming the first played in Spurs history to hit 1,000 points coming off the bench — the Spurs as a whole look keyed up to head into the postseason strong. In addition to his offense prowess, Champagnie’s rebounding is a strength of his defensive contributions. He’s double his rebounding from two seasons ago while only increasing his minutes by 50%. Champagnie is a key component of the Spurs success this season. Head coach Mitch Johnson has entrusted the undrafted sharpshooter as a member of the starting line-up. Originally designed around Victor Wembanyama, Harrison Barnes, Devin Vassell, Stephon Curry, and De’Aaron Fox, Champagnie earned the role as go-to starter as early season injuries sidelined Fox and then Castle. As New Year’s Eve approached, he started in place of Devin Vassell who was suffering a left adductor strain. And later, when Harrison Barnes’ left ankle caused him to miss his first games since December of 2021, Champagnie established himself in the starting line-up going forward. Champagnie originally came to San Antonio in 2023 on a two-way contract, two days after being waived by the Philadelphia 76ers on Valentine’s Day. That summer, he signed a friendly four-year/$12M contract. He’s got one more season before he is offered what is sure to be a big payday. Hopefully the Spurs can put a ring on it and lock him down for a long, prosperous career in San Antonio. Welcome to the Thread.
