The New York Knicks are adding some intriguing depth to their frontcourt, with forward Jeremy Sochan set to join the team just a day after being released by the San Antonio Spurs.
According to reporting from Shams Charania, Sochan had no shortage of interest-ten teams reportedly reached out once word of his release hit the wire. But it’s the Knicks who are poised to land him, pending his clearance through waivers.
Sochan’s numbers this season don’t jump off the page-he averaged 4.1 points and 2.6 rebounds in just under 13 minutes per game across 28 appearances. He shot a respectable 47.5% from the field but struggled from beyond the arc, hitting just 25.7% of his threes.
Still, it’s not always about the box score. Sochan brings a versatile, high-energy game that could fit well in a Knicks rotation that thrives on effort, defense, and physicality.
New York currently sits at 35-20, holding strong in third place in a tightly packed Eastern Conference race. With postseason aspirations clearly in focus, the Knicks are looking for players who can contribute in specific roles-even if it’s just a few impactful minutes a night. Sochan, with his defensive instincts and ability to guard multiple positions, could be a useful chess piece for Tom Thibodeau down the stretch.
Of course, everything hinges on Sochan clearing waivers. If no other team claims him, the Knicks will be free to finalize the signing and integrate him into their system. For now, it’s a wait-and-see situation-but one that could give New York a little extra edge as the playoff picture sharpens.
