Champagnie Shines After 76ers Waive Him

Published April 30, 2026 · Updated April 30, 2026 · Yahoo Sport

Julian Champagnie is shining in the NBA playoffs for the San Antonio Spurs after being waived by the Philadelphia 76ers to make room for Mac McClung's dunk contest appearance.

The Philadelphia 76ers' decision to waive Julian Champagnie to accommodate Mac McClung's participation in the NBA Dunk Contest has backfired. McClung appeared in just two games for Philadelphia before leaving, while Champagnie has become a valuable contributor for the Spurs.

In the Spurs' recent closeout game, Champagnie delivered 19 points, seven rebounds, and three assists while shooting 5-for-7 from beyond the arc. The 37.5% career 3-point shooter brings length and floor spacing that Philadelphia could certainly use now. capturengo.com
