The San Antonio Spurs have released forward Jeremy Sochan, according to reports. The decision follows a period where Jeremy Sochan and the Spurs organization reportedly collaborated to explore trade options at the deadline to find the young player a new opportunity. When no trade was finalized, the two sides landed on his release this week.
Selected as the No. 9 overall pick in the 2022 NBA Draft, Jeremy Sochan has been a significant part of the San Antonio rotation since his arrival. He earned selections to the NBA Rising Stars team in each of his first two seasons, cementing his reputation as one of the league's most versatile young defenders. During the 2023-24 season, Sochan averaged 11.6 points, 6.4 rebounds, and 3.4 assists per game while appearing in 74 contests.
The move signals a shift in the Spurs' roster strategy as they continue to build around Victor Wembanyama. While Sochan provided defensive intensity and experimental playmaking, the team will now look toward other frontcourt options to complement their core. As a former lottery pick with significant starting experience and defensive upside, Sochan is expected to draw immediate interest from teams looking to bolster their depth before the postseason.
