Sochan will hit the open market to get an opportunity to discuss deals with other interested suitors. Per Charania\u2019s report, Sochan has \u201cmultiple interested teams.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_blockParagraph__I2kr4\">This season has been a new low for Sochan, who has been in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsweek.com\/topic\/sports-nba\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">NBA<\/a> since 2022. In 28 games, he averaged just 12.8 minutes off the bench. He is shooting 47 percent from the field on just 3.5 attempts per game. The 22-year-old forward posted averages of 4.1 points and 2.6 rebounds with the Spurs before his release.<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"8369811\" alt=\"Jeremy Sochan\" caption=\"Jeremy Sochan #10 of the San Antonio Spurs is surrounded by teammates after his three gave his team a victory over the Phoenix Suns at Frost Bank Center on March 25, 2024 in San Antonio, Texas.

At the time, he checked in for just under four minutes of action, as the Spurs collected a 138-125 win.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_blockParagraph__I2kr4\">Leading up to the trade deadline, the Spurs were expected to shop Sochan around, but nothing materialized. San Antonio ended up being one of the quietest teams in the league when it comes to making deals. It speaks to their confidence, as they sit second in the Western Conference behind the Oklahoma City Thunder by 3.5 games.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_blockParagraph__I2kr4\">In the past, Sochan played an important role for the Spurs. Since being a rookie, Sochan averaged over 20 minutes of action. Through his first three seasons, Sochan posted averages of 11.4 points, 6.1 rebounds, and 2.8 assists, while he shot 46 percent from the field.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_blockParagraph__I2kr4\">More NBA:<a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsweek.com\/sports\/nba\/victor-wembanyama-breaks-silence-spurs-lack-trade-11480531\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"> Victor Wembanyama Breaks Silence on Spurs\u2019 Lack of Trades<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_blockParagraph__I2kr4\">When he entered the league, he was a ninth-overall pick out of Baylor. He played just one season with the Bears, appearing in 30 games. Before that, Sochan played pro overseas in Germany.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_blockParagraph__I2kr4\">It\u2019s unclear which teams could pursue Sochan at this time, but the young forward is looking forward to getting a fresh start for the first time in his NBA career.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_blockParagraph__I2kr4\">For all the latest\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsweek.com\/topic\/sports-nba\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">NBA\u00a0<\/a>news and rumors, head over to\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsweek.com\/sports\/nba\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Newsweek Sports<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The San Antonio Spurs are reportedly finalizing a decision on Jeremy Sochan.
