Overview
- Sochan was officially waived on Feb. 11, starting a 48-hour waiver period before he can sign elsewhere.
- Multiple outlets report interest from roughly 10 teams, with league reports saying he intends to sign with New York if unclaimed.
- San Antonio explored deals before the deadline with suitors including the Knicks, Suns and Bulls, but no trade materialized.
- The 22-year-old’s role collapsed this season to 12.8 minutes over 28 games as he fell out of Mitch Johnson’s rotation, with rookie Carter Bryant’s emergence cited as a factor.
- The move creates an open roster spot for the Spurs, while Sochan’s expiring ~$7.1 million deal would transfer only if a team submits a waiver claim.
