Just two days after a heartbreaking ending to their 2025-2026 campaign, Victor Wembanyama and Julian Champagnie visited Methodist Children’s Hospital. They brought smiles and lifted the spirits of several young patients.

Wembanyama, who has broken records and exceeded expectations all season, had comparisons to the greatest all-time players at each turn.

Julian Champagnie also set Spurs franchises records for three-pointers in a single game (11), in a season (195) and in the postseason (61).

While the duo were bringing smiles, they also handed out some Spurs shirts and collectibles.

Known for their community outreach, the Spurs are no strangers to making appearances, especially to those experiencing hardships. It’s a wonderful opportunity to bond with fans and spread some joy.
