Where is Jeremy Sochan signing?

Knicks add former Spurs forward after waiver exit

The San Antonio Spurs waived Jeremy Sochan, and league sources report he will join the New York Knicks after he clears waivers. Multiple outlets say the forward plans to sign a rest-of-season minimum deal to give New York a young, versatile wing as they head into the stretch run.

Sochan arrives as a player who was once a top-10 draft pick and has been valued for his defensive versatility and length. The Spurs’ decision to waive him created an opportunity for a team chasing playoff positioning to pick up a low-cost, high-upside piece without surrendering assets.

What this changes for the Knicks

• Depth and matchup flexibility: Sochan provides versatility in the frontcourt, able to guard multiple positions and slide into lineups that need switchable defenders.
• Low financial risk: The reported minimum deal minimizes cap exposure while keeping roster flexibility for the offseason.
• Short-term role clarity: It’s expected he will be a rotational piece rather than a focal scorer; how quickly he integrates will determine his minutes.

Uncertainties and what to watch next

It’s still unclear how much immediate playing time he will get or how quickly he will be slotted into defensive schemes. The contract terms reported are a short-term, minimum-salary arrangement; longer-term plans — whether the Knicks view him as part of future rotations or a temporary depth piece — have not been detailed by the team. Roster construction, minutes availability and coaching decisions will dictate whether this signing moves the needle for New York’s playoff push.
