Jeremy Sochan Granted Trade Permission by Spurs Amid Reduced Role, RFA Looming

Jeremy Sochan and his representation have received permission from the San Antonio Spurs to explore a potential trade. After starting 149 games and averaging 27 minutes in his first three seasons, Sochan has seen a significantly reduced bench role this year, playing just 13 minutes per night across 27 games. He was not extended last summer and is slated for restricted free agency next offseason, prompting his search for a new team. Sochan, who previously served as a defensive lynchpin, has struggled with his jump shot (26% from three) and is averaging 4.2 points, 2.7 rebounds, and one assist this season. The market for him is unclear, though the Knicks are a rumored potential destination.
