Julian Champagnie shines for Spurs after 76ers waived him

In Game 7 of the NBA Western Conference Finals, Julian Champagnie scored 18 points on 6-of-10 shooting from beyond the arc, helping the San Antonio Spurs secure a spot in the 2026 NBA Finals against the Oklahoma City Thunder. The Philadelphia 76ers, led by former president Daryl Morey, waived Champagnie three years ago, a decision questioned now as the player has thrived with the Spurs. The 76ers also gave away Jared McCain this season, raising concerns about Morey’s decision-making in player evaluations. As the NBA Finals approach, 76ers fans may watch the matchup with a sense of regret regarding these roster moves.
