Overview
- Portland placed Jeremy Sochan on waivers after cutting him from a non‑guaranteed Exhibit 9 training‑camp contract.
- The team announced the decision on Saturday, leaving the Blazers with 17 players under contract and one open standard roster spot.
- Sochan averaged about 12 minutes and 6.0 points in four preseason games while shooting roughly 62.5 percent from the field.
- If no team claims his camp deal during the waiver period he will become an unrestricted free agent on Monday.
- Sochan was the No. 9 pick in 2022, has career averages near 9.9 points and 5.4 rebounds, and his release shows how roster and cap rules can override short‑term preseason production.
