Spurs' Jeremy Sochan: Unlikely to play Wednesday
Rotowire
Spurs interim head coach Mitch Johnson said after Tuesday's 116-105 loss to the Magic that he doesn't expect Sochan (back) to join the team for Wednesday's road game in Denver, Jeff Garcia of KENS 5 San Antonio reports.
Sochan will likely stay behind in San Antonio to receive further treatment after he was ruled out less than an hour before the opening tip of Tuesday's contest due to low back spasms. Bismack Biyombo replaced Sochan in the starting five and could get the nod on the top unit again Wednesday, though Biyombo could be in store for a reduction in minutes with Charles Bassey (knee) likely to play in the second leg of the back-to-back set.

Spurs' Jeremy Sochan: Pops for 18 in Saturday's start
Rotowire
Sochan supplied 18 points (4-12 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 10-12 FT), eight rebounds, three assists and two steals over 31 minutes during Saturday's 121-111 loss to the Celtics.
The third-year big got the start as Bismack Biyombo was a DNP - Coach's Decision, and Sochan turned the opportunity into useful fantasy production. The Spurs will likely continue to mix and match their frontcourt in the absence of Victor Wembanyama (shoulder), and Sochan's usage will likely remain inconsistent over the final weeks of the season -- he's played anywhere from 15 to 38 minutes over the last 10 games, averaging 13.6 points, 5.6 boards, 2.1 assists, 0.9 steals and 0.7 threes in that span.

Sochan had scored 10 points in his return to the first unit on Wednesday against the Knicks, and he upped that stat line with an even better outing in this one. The forward finished just one board shy of a double-double, and he also reached the 20-point mark for the first time since posting a 21-point effort against the Knicks back on Dec. 25.

Spurs' Jeremy Sochan: Improved performance Monday
Rotowire
Sochan accumulated 14 points (6-9 FG, 2-2 3Pt), eight rebounds, three assists and one steal in 21 minutes during Monday's 128-109 loss to the Grizzlies.
Sochan flirted with a double-double despite the loss, his best performance since returning from a back injury. It's been a slow ramp-up for Sochan, having played fewer than 23 minutes in five of his past six games. The Spurs will welcome De'Aaron Fox in the coming games, presenting the coaching staff with some questions regarding the long-term rotation. For now, Sochan will continue to come off the bench, limiting his overall upside.

Spurs' Jeremy Sochan: Won't play Wednesday
Rotowire
Sochan (back) is out for Wednesday's game against the Grizzlies, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.
Sochan will remain out for a third straight game with back soreness, and it's not an encouraging sign for his status that he's been ruled out so far in advance of Wednesday's action. His next chance to play will come Friday in a rematch with Memphis. 2024 No. 4 overall pick Stephon Castle should continue starting for the Spurs in the backcourt in Sochan's absence Wednesday, making the former an appealing streamer target in fantasy leagues.
