Spurs agree to three-year, $45 million deal with forward Champagnie

San Antonio declined a $3 million team option on forward Julian Champagnie and will instead sign him to a new three-year, $45 million contract that runs through the 2028-29 season, sources told ESPN on Monday. The agreement includes $42 million in new money and a structure that pays Champagnie earlier in the deal.

The 6-foot-7 forward averaged career highs of 27.6 minutes, 11.1 points and 5.8 rebounds while making 195 three-pointers, a franchise single-season record.

Barnes returning on one-year deal Forward Harrison Barnes plans to sign a one-year, $8 million contract to remain with the team, according to sources. Barnes, 34, appeared in 77 games last season after starting all 82 games in each of the prior three seasons.

The organization values Barnes' leadership and championship experience. He averaged 10 points while shooting 45.6 percent from the field and 38.8 percent from three-point range. Champagnie went undrafted in 2022 out of St. John's and joined San Antonio after brief stints with Philadelphia.

He has started 156 games for the Spurs over the past three seasons.
