Jeremy Sochan returns to San Antonio with the Knicks ahead of NBA Finals
Jeremy Sochan, a former San Antonio Spurs player now with the New York Knicks, returned to the Frost Bank Center for practice ahead of the NBA Finals. The Spurs have not yet decided whether to include him in their championship roster, with team representative Julian Champagnie stating the decision will wait until after the series concludes.
Jeremy Sochan, drafted ninth overall by the San Antonio Spurs in 2022, visited the Frost Bank Center on Tuesday as the Knicks prepared for practice. Sochan, who played three seasons with the Spurs before being released in February, has since joined the Knicks but appeared in only five playoff games, totaling 22 minutes. The Spurs have not confirmed whether Sochan will be part of their NBA Finals roster. Julian Champagnie, the team’s alternate representative on the NBA Players Association, said the decision will be made after the series. Champagnie expressed personal warmth toward Sochan but emphasized the focus on competing for a championship. The Knicks did not make Sochan available for interviews during Tuesday’s media day, but forward Karl-Anthony Towns downplayed the impact of Sochan’s Spurs knowledge. Towns noted that both teams have evolved significantly since their NBA Cup final meeting in December, adjusting their offensive and defensive strategies throughout the season. Sochan’s return to San Antonio marks a symbolic moment, given his past with the Spurs. However, his role in the upcoming Finals remains uncertain, with team dynamics and roster decisions still under consideration.
