Spurs Surge: Champagnie's Record Night Fuels Win
2 Jan
Summary
- Justin Champagnie set a franchise record with 11 three-pointers.
- Victor Wembanyama recorded a double-double despite a knee injury.
- The Spurs are second in the Western Conference with a 24-9 record.

The San Antonio Spurs are currently in strong form, having won seven of their last nine contests to claim second place in the Western Conference. Their recent victory over the New York Knicks was marked by a remarkable fourth-quarter comeback, avenging an earlier loss in the NBA Cup Final. Justin Champagnie was the unexpected star, scoring a career-high 36 points and setting a new franchise record with 11 successful three-pointers.
Victor Wembanyama continued his dominant season, achieving a double-double with 31 points and 13 rebounds. However, his performance was overshadowed by a knee hyperextension, an injury that has created uncertainty about his immediate availability. This mirrors an injury recently sustained by Nikola Jokic, which sidelined him for at least four weeks. Fortunately, Wembanyama's MRI on Thursday revealed no structural damage to his knee.
