Free Agency: Jeremy Sochan will sign with the Knicks a few hours after being cut by the Spurs
The Polish international already has a new team and will be one of the contenders for the ring in the Eastern Conference, bringing his energy off the bench
Jeremy Sochan will continue his career with the New York Knicks once he clears the waivers process. This was confirmed to ESPN by his agent, Deirunas Visockas, from Gersh Sports.
The forward, who was waived by the San Antonio Spurs on Wednesday, had interest from ten teams before deciding on New York. The deal with the Knicks, who were seeking wing depth before the trade deadline, will cover the remainder of the season.
At 22 years old and standing at 2.03 meters, Sochan will bring size, athleticism, and versatility to the New York rotation. During his over four seasons in San Antonio, he played 212 games, averaging 10.4 points, 5.6 rebounds, and 25.3 minutes per game.
Selected ninth overall in the 2022 draft, he featured in the Rising Stars games during his first two seasons in the league. He also stood out for his defense when called upon.
Losing Importance in San Antonio
The player had been losing playing time in the Spurs' rotation, partly due to the emergence of rookie Carter Bryant, selected 14th in the 2025 draft.
In the 28 games played this season, he averaged 4.1 points, 2.6 rebounds, and one assist, shooting 47.5% from the field. During Victor Wembanyama's rookie year, San Antonio even tried him at point guard, where he recorded a performance of 31 points and 14 rebounds.
