76ers Regret Cutting Champagnie for Dunk Contest

The 76ers waived Champagnie in 2026 to allow McClung to participate in the Dunk Contest, but McClung only played two regular season games for the team. Meanwhile, Champagnie has proven his value with the Spurs, shooting 37.5% from three-point range. In their recent closeout game, he contributed 19 points, 7 rebounds, and 3 assists while shooting 6-for-9 from the field, including 5-for-7 from beyond the arc. catcross.org
