Spurs' Gregg Popovich 'thrilled' for Jeremy Sochan after Rising Stars nod Sochan grew up watching the annual rookie-sophomore game and will now have the opportunity to play in the event.
Suffers back injury Wednesday Sochan has been ruled out for the remainder of Wednesday's game against Sacramento with a lower-back injury, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.
Impact Sochan will finish the night scoreless (0-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt) with one rebound in seven minutes of action. Stanley Johnson, Isaiah Roby and Doug McDermott will likely split his vacated minutes for the rest of the contest. Sochan's next chance to play will come Friday against the 76ers.

Offensive efficiency continues Sochan recorded 17 points (7-13 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-3 FT), five assists and two rebounds in 27 minutes in Monday's 127-106 loss to the Wizards.
Impact Sochan entered the NBA with a reputation as a defense-first player, but his production on the offensive end has made him a popular fantasy pickup of late. After delivering a career-best 30-point performance his last time out against the Suns on Saturday, Sochan followed up with another efficient scoring outing while also dishing out five assists for the second game in a row. His lacking output in the defensive categories of late (0.4 steals and 0.1 blocks per game over his last eight appearances) has been disappointing, but Sochan should have the opportunity to continue shouldering more responsibility on the offensive end while the Spurs are lacking in secondary scoring options behind Keldon Johnson.

Impressive night in return Sochan amassed 30 points (11-25 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 5-5 FT), eight rebounds and five assists over 40 minutes during Saturday's 128-118 overtime loss to the Suns.
Impact After sitting out one game (quad), Sochan played huge minutes and scored a career-high 30 points in the overtime loss. It was easily one of his best games of the season. Though inconsistent, the rookie out of Baylor has shown signs of strong fantasy potential all year long and figures to continue receiving opportunities for a rebuilding Spurs squad.

Good to go Saturday Sochan (quadriceps) will play in Saturday's game against the Suns, Jeff Garcia of KENS 5 San Antonio reports.
Impact Sochan will return from a single-game absence with a left quad contusion after being listed as questionable for the contest. The lottery pick should be expected to garner his usual workload and spot in the first unit Saturday, which would knock Keita Bates-Diop to the bench and spell fewer opportunities for Isaiah Roby.

Questionable against Phoenix Sochan (quadriceps) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Suns, Jeff Garcia of KENS 5 San Antonio reports.
Impact Sochan missed Thursday's game against the Clippers after being listed as doubtful, but it's encouraging that he's questionable on the Spurs' initial injury report for Saturday's matchup. Keita Bates-Diop and Isaiah Roby would likely continue to see increased playing time if Sochan is out once again.

Officially out Sochan (quad) will not play in Thursday's game against the Clippers, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.
Impact Sochan was initially tabbed doubtful, so his absence was to be expected Thursday. In his stead, Keita Bates-Diop, Isaiah Roby and Doug McDermott will likely see more minutes. Sochan's next chance to play will come Saturday against Phoenix.
JANUARY 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Unlikely to play Thursday Sochan is doubtful for Thursday's matchup against the Clippers due to a bruised left quad.
Impact Sochan has been on a tear lately, averaging 15.8 points on 53/58/82 shooting, 6.2 rebounds and 2.6 assists in 29.0 minutes across the past five games. However, a bruised quad suffered in Wednesday's loss to the Lakers will likely break his streak of 22 straight appearances. In his presumed absence, more minutes could be in store for Isaiah Roby, Keita Bates-Diop and Doug McDermott.
JANUARY 26, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Dominant inside during loss Sochan registered 14 points (6-14 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), seven rebounds, three assists and one steal in 27 minutes during Wednesday's 113-104 loss to the Lakers.
Impact Sochan left Anthony Davis flat-footed a few times in the loss, as the rookie slashed his way in for a couple of dunks. It wasn't his best shooting performance, but Sochan traded in his sharpshooting for a standout night on defense. The first-round pick has already demonstrated how deadly he is from the perimeter, and Wednesday's showing indicated that he may be putting it all together on a more consistent basis.
JANUARY 26, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Stays hot from three-point range Sochan finished with 18 points (5-11 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 6-8 FT), six rebounds, four assists and one block in 28 minutes in Monday's 147-127 loss to the Trail Blazers.
Impact Sochan has taken a back seat on the offensive end for most of his rookie season, but he's now put up double-digit field-goal attempts for three straight games and is converting them at a 51.5 percent clip. An unsustainable 6-for-7 mark from three-point range has fueled some of that success, however, so fantasy managers may not want to rely on Sochan serving as a consistent source of secondary scoring behind Keldon Johnson. Sochan's recent hot run should at least put him on the radar for a pickup in 12-team category leagues. Even if his shooting cools off, his minutes at least look safe while the 14-33 Spurs prioritize his development.
JANUARY 24, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Provides well-rounded line Sochan finished with 16 points (6-12 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, two assists and two steals in 26 minutes during Tuesday's 106-98 win over the Nets.
Impact Keldon Johnson and Tre Jones have thus far benefited the most while Devin Vassell (knee) has been out for eight straight games with an injury that will sideline him at least through the All-Star break, but a tertiary role in the Spurs' scoring attack is there for the taking if Sochan wants to claim it. Though he averaged just 7.2 points per game on 35.3 percent shooting from the field during the first six games of Vassell's absence, Sochan has reached the mid-teens in points in both the past two contests. He's achieved his scoring production mostly on the back of elevated efficiency (60 percent shooting from the field), so Sochan will need to increase his usage on the offensive end in order to maintain the uptick in scoring before regression with his shooting inevitably sets in.

Actually starting Sochan will in fact start Wednesday's game against the Grizzlies.
Impact Sochan was initially slated to come off the bench, with Keita Bates-Diop sliding into the starting power forward slot. However, Sochan will instead make his 12th consecutive start Wednesday and should see his typical workload.

Poor shooting in loss Monday Sochan recorded seven points (2-11 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, two assists and two steals over 30 minutes during Monday's 121-113 loss to the Grizzlies.
Impact Sochan offered up very little yet again Monday, despite playing significant minutes. Outside of a few strong performances, he has been unable to make the most of a favorable situation. Over the past two weeks, he is barely inside the top 200, all while playing close to 30 minutes per night. Outside of some streaming appeal for anyone in need of steals, it doesn't look like Sochan should be considered a must-roster player.
JANUARY 10, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Puts up 20 points Sochan registered 20 points (7-12 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 4-6 FT), six rebounds, two assists and one steal in 33 minutes during Saturday's 126-125 loss to the Mavericks.
Impact Sochan has gained league-wide notoriety after shooting one-handed free throws, but he's also playing well overall and is making an impact as a fantasy asset while settling as a starter for a struggling Spurs team. Sochan has scored in double digits in five of his last six starts while grabbing at least five boards in those outings. He ended December with averages of 11.0 points, 6.2 rebounds and 3.2 assists across 25.6 minutes per game.

Impact Sochan had been held to six points in 31 minutes during Monday's matchup with the Jazz, but he fell just one rebound shy of a double-double Tuesday night. He's now secured nine rebounds in three of his last four matchups and continues to make an impact across the board for this Spurs team. Sochan is putting up 8.5 points, 4.7 rebounds and 2.5 assists through 28 appearances this season.

Pulls down nine boards Friday Sochan chipped in 13 points (6-14 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), nine rebounds, four assists and one block across 26 minutes during Friday's 133-113 loss to Orlando.
Impact Sochan ended just one rebound shy from posting what would've been his first double-double of the season, and the former Baylor standout has now scored in double digits while pulling down at least seven rebounds in each of his last three outings. He's averaging 9.3 points, 6.2 rebounds and 3.7 assists per game in six games since returning from a five-game absence due to a quadriceps injury.

Season-best outing in loss Sochan closed Thursday's 126-117 loss to the Pelicans with 23 points (7-14 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 7-10 FT), nine rebounds, six assists and one steal in 31 minutes.
Impact Sochan posted a season-high scoring total while leading the team in the category, finishing one rebound and four assists shy of a triple-double. Sochan has recorded at least 10 points, five rebounds and five assists on three occasions this year.

Returns to first unit Sochan will start in Thursday's game against the Pelicans, Andrew Lopez of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Sochan will receive the starting nod over Keita Bates-Diop Thursday, but fantasy managers should still temper expectations for Sochan considering he has failed to record more than 23 minutes since returning from injury. However, more offensive opportunities should be available with Keldon Johnson (hamstring) sidelined.
