URGENT UPDATE: San Antonio Spurs forward Jeremy Sochan has been ruled out for the season opener against the Dallas Mavericks on October 25, 2023, due to a sprained left wrist. Sochan sustained the injury during a five-on-five practice drill, just as he was nearing a return from a previous calf strain.
Sochan’s wrist injury adds to the Spurs’ challenges as they gear up for the new season. He previously injured his calf while training with the Polish national team in August, forcing him to miss the EuroBasket tournament and the entirety of San Antonio’s preseason schedule. Last season, Sochan averaged 11.4 points, 6.5 rebounds, and 2.4 assists over 54 games, making his presence crucial for the Spurs.
The Spurs will also be without star guard De’Aaron Fox, who is currently rehabilitating a strained hamstring. Both players are expected to return by the second or third game of the season, but their absence puts significant pressure on the team as they look to start the season strong.
Fans are eagerly awaiting updates as the Spurs prepare to face Dallas. The team will need to adapt quickly without two key players, making their upcoming game even more critical. As the situation develops, stay tuned for further updates on Sochan and Fox’s recovery timelines.
