Sochan (thumb) is available for Tuesday's game versus the Suns, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports. Sochan will return to action Tuesday after missing San Antonio's previous 13 contests while recovering from left thumb surgery. The 21-year-old forward will likely operate on a minutes restriction as he works his way back towards his typical workload, and Julian Champagnie will remain in the starting five against Phoenix.
Sochan (thumb) is probable for Tuesday's game against the Suns, Jeff McDonald of the San Antonio Express-News reports. Sochan has yet to suit up following surgery on a fracture in the proximal phalanx of his left thumb in early November, though he'll likely make his return in Tuesday's NBA Cup matchup. The 21-year-old has taken part in 5-on-5 work, and his probable tag suggests he has been cleared for a return to game action in the coming days. Before fracturing his thumb Nov. 4 and then undergoing surgery, Sochan averaged 15.4 points, 7.7 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 1.0 steals in 29.3 minutes per contest while shooting 51.2 percent from the field.
Sochan was able to participate in 5-on-5 work during Friday's practice following surgery on a fracture in the proximal phalanx of his left thumb in early November, Tom Orsborn of the San Antonio Express-News reports. Sochan's return to 5-on-5 work suggests he is nearing a return to game action. While the Spurs have yet to provide a clear timetable for his comeback, an update is expected sooner rather than later. The 21-year-old appeared in seven regular-season outings before his long-term absence streak, during which he averaged 15.4 points, 7.7 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 1.0 steals while shooting 51.2 percent from the field across 29.3 minutes per game.
The Spurs announced Tuesday that Sochan suffered a fracture in the proximal phalanx of his left thumb during Monday's game against the Clippers. Sochan is scheduled to undergo surgery this week and the team will provide updates as appropriate, Marc J. Spears of ESPN.com reports. While the Spurs have yet to give an official return timetable for Sochan, fantasy managers can expect him to be sidelined for a significant period. The 21-year-old forward was in the midst of a breakout campaign, averaging 15.4 points, 7.7 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 1.0 steals on 51.2 percent shooting from the field in 29.3 minutes across seven appearances before suffering his injury. Until Sochan is able to return, Keldon Johnson, Stephon Castle and Julian Champagnie are all candidates to receive increased playing time.
Sochan (thumb) will not return during Monday's game against the Clippers, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports. Sochan totaled four points (2-3 FG, 0-1 3Pt), three rebounds, one assist and one steal across 12 minutes before leaving due to a thumb injury. With the 21-year-old forward out, Zach Collins and Keldon Johnson are candidates for an increased role the rest of the way.
Sochan provided 19 points (7-10 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 4-5 FT), 10 rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal over 33 minutes during Saturday's 113-103 victory over the Timberwolves. Sochan continues to put together a strong start to the season, delivering solid production across the board. To this point, he has been arguably the Spurs' most consistent player, averaging 17.3 points, 8.5 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 1.5 combined steals and blocks in 32.2 minutes per game. Playing in his preferred position at power forward, Sochan could be in for a mini-breakout this season, should he be able to maintain his current momentum.
Sochan supplied 22 points (9-19 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 4-5 FT), nine rebounds, four assists and one block over 34 minutes during Monday's 106-101 loss to Houston. Sochan scored at least 17 points for the third straight game to open the season, continuing his impressive start. Now back in his preferred position, power forward, Sochan has been easily the most consistent player on the Spurs' roster. He was typically available late in drafts, and at this point, it appears he could be a great risk vs. reward option.
Sochan totaled 17 points (8-14 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 12 rebounds, three assists and two steals across 37 minutes during Saturday's 109-106 victory over the Rockets. Sochan was efficient from the floor and made his presence felt on the glass, constantly winning rebounding battles against the likes of Jabari Smith and Alperen Sengun en route to his first double-double of the season. Sochan has surpassed the 15-point mark in his first two appearances of 2024-25 and looks comfortable operating as the Spurs' second offensive option behind Victor Wembanyama in the absence of Devin Vassell (foot). That new-found role on offense should increase Sochan's fantasy upside in the short term.
Sochan (rest) does not carry an injury designation into Thursday's contest versus Dallas. Sochan is joined by Victor Wembanyama, Chris Paul and Keldon Johnson in being removed from Wednesday's injury report after the quartet rested to end preseason activities. Sochan is expected to start in the frontcourt alongside Wembanyama and Harrison Barnes to begin the season.
