Champagnie, Barnes highlight Spurs' roster continuity ahead of training camp

Julian Champagnie and Harrison Barnes spoke on media day as the San Antonio Spurs prepare for training camp. Champagnie signed a three-year, $45 million extension, solidifying his role with the team. The Spurs largely maintained their roster following a successful previous season, adding only Tobias Harris. Coach Mitch Johnson noted that familiarity among players has made the start of training camp smoother, with team members like Victor Wembanyama feeling more secure in their roles compared to last year. Champagnie aims to build on his breakout season, having set a franchise record for three-pointers made, while Barnes looks to contribute despite a decreasing role on the court.
