Spurs Allow Jeremy Sochan to Seek Trade After Role Shrinks

Restricted free agency next summer complicates his market for teams considering a short-term look.

Overview

  • San Antonio granted the 22-year-old forward and his representatives permission to explore destinations, according to Marc Stein.
  • Sochan has appeared in 27 games with about 13 minutes per night and career-low production, including roughly 26% three-point shooting this season.
  • He did not receive an extension last offseason, carries a $7.1 million expiring deal, and would become a restricted free agent with a qualifying offer.
  • His rotation spot tightened after the De'Aaron Fox trade and the drafting of Dylan Harper and Carter Bryant, leading to frequent DNPs in January.
  • The Knicks have been mentioned as a possible suitor but interest reportedly cooled, and no move is imminent, while his 'Patience' tweet drew fan support.
