2026年10月4日，星期日，圣安东尼奥弗罗斯特银行中心，在“银黑队内对抗赛”结束后，圣安东尼奥马刺队球员朱利安·尚帕尼（左起）、斯蒂芬·卡斯尔和德文·瓦塞尔看着新秀们为现场观众唱卡拉OK。
随着重磅自由球员引援托拜厄斯·哈里斯 (Tobias Harris) 因左小腿拉伤将缺阵一段时间，马刺队主教练米奇·约翰逊 (Mitch Johnson) 暂时无需过早透露为这位征战了16个赛季的老将所规划的角色。
但即便约翰逊最终决定让哈里斯出任首发大前锋，上赛季在四号位上的绝对主力也绝不会有丝毫介意。
“我不在乎，”朱利安·尚帕尼 (Julian Champagnie) 在周二早上的训练结束后表示，“首发也好，不首发也罢，我只是很享受待在这里。我相信教练。”
34岁的哈里斯在训练营第一周伤到了小腿，马刺队已宣布他将缺席季前赛，并在10月20日对阵俄克拉荷马城雷霆队的常规赛揭幕战中将其列为出战成疑。
“我们绝对不会急于让他复出，”在弗罗斯特银行中心举行的周日“银黑队内对抗赛”结束后，约翰逊在谈到哈里斯时说道。上赛季效力底特律活塞队期间，哈里斯场均贡献13.3分、5.1个篮板和2.5次助攻，并在休赛期与马刺签下了一份为期两年、价值3100万美元的合同。
从尚帕尼的表态来看，球员们对哈里斯受伤的消息表现得很坦然。
“这就是比赛的一部分，事情往往就是这样，”尚帕尼说，“显然，我们需要他保持健康。他是我们这支新球队的重要拼图。新援，重要一环。所以，我们必须先适应他暂时不在场的情况，然后再去适应他回归后的阵容。但我确信，在整个赛季中，类似的状况还会经常发生。我们只需要去积极应对并解决问题。”
可以肯定的是：尚帕尼并不担心约翰逊会如何安排自己，这位25岁的纽约本土球员在休赛期签下了一份为期三年、价值5400万美元的新合同，这将让他在球队效力至2028-29赛季。
“只要是他需要我做的，我就会全力以赴，”尚帕尼说道，“只要是球队需要我做的事情，那就是我所处的位置。”上赛季，他拿下了职业生涯新高的场均得分（11.1分）、篮板（5.8个）和助攻（1.5次），同时还刷新了队史单场三分球命中数（11记）、单赛季三分球命中数（195记）以及单届季后赛三分球命中数（61记）的纪录。
这种以球队为先的态度赢得了队友们的高度赞赏。
“朱利安非常出色，”后卫迪伦·哈珀 (Dylan Harper) 说道，“我觉得他就像一把瑞士军刀，能满足你的一切需求。任何时候只要教练叫到他的名字——而且这种情况经常发生——他总能一次又一次地完成任务。能拥有他在这支球队，是我们的荣幸。我可绝对不想在场上和他做对手。”

Why Spurs’ Julian Champagnie isn’t worried about his role
San Antonio Spurs players Julian Champagnie, from left, Stephon Castle and Devin Vassell watch the rookies sing karaoke for the crowd following the Silver & Black Scrimmage at Frost Bank Center in San Antonio, Sunday, Oct. 4, 2026.
With marquee free agent signee Tobias Harris sidelined for a while with a left calf strain, Spurs coach Mitch Johnson doesn’t have to reveal the role he has planned for the 16th-year pro anytime soon.
But should Johnson wind up starting Harris at power forward, last year’s regular at the four spot won’t blink an eye.
“I don’t care,” Julian Champagnie said after practice Tuesday morning. “Starting, not starting, I just like being here. I trust coach.”
The Spurs ruled Harris, 34, out for the preseason and listed him as questionable for the regular season opener against Oklahoma City on Oct. 20 after he injured his calf during the first week of training camp.
“We won’t rush him at all,” Johnson said after Sunday’s Silver & Black Scrimmage at the Frost Bank Center of Harris, who signed a two-year, $31 million deal with the Spurs after averaging 13.3 points, 5.1 rebounds and 2.5 assists for Detroit last season.
If Champagnie’s comments are an indication, the players took news of Harris’ injury in stride.
“It’s the game. It’s how it goes,” Champagnie said. “Obviously, we need him healthy. He’s a big part of our new team. New piece, big part. So,
we’ll have to just adjust to him not being here and then adjust to him getting back. But throughout the year, I’m sure there’ll be more days like that. We’ll just have to figure it out.”
One thing is certain: Champagnie is not worried about what Johnson has in store for him after the 25-year-old New York native signed a new three-year, $54 million contract in the offseason that will keep him with the team through the 2028-29 season.
“Whatever he needs me to do is what I’m going to do,” said Champagnie, who posted career highs last season for points (11.1), rebounds (5.8) and assists (1.5) while setting franchise records for 3-pointers in a game (11), in a season (195) and in a single postseason (61). “Whatever the team needs me to do is where I’m going to be at.”
It’s a team-first attitude his teammates appreciate.
“Julian is great,” guard Dylan Harper said. “I feel like he’s a Swiss Army knife. He gives you whatever you need. Anytime his number is called, which is called a lot, he’s going to deliver time and time again. We’re blessed to have him here. I wouldn’t want to play against him.”
