Overview
- San Antonio officially waived Sochan this week, ending his four-year stint to allow him to find more playing time.
- His agent told ESPN that he will sign a rest-of-season, veteran-minimum deal with the Knicks after the waiver period.
- Interest was widespread with roughly 10 suitors, but New York had an open roster spot and sufficient room below the second apron to add him.
- Sochan’s role shrank in 2025–26 to 12.8 minutes per game over 28 appearances, averaging 4.1 points after previously logging starter-level usage.
- The 22-year-old forward is expected to bolster New York’s defensive frontcourt depth, with a potential first meeting against his former team on March 1 at Madison Square Garden.
