San Antonio Spurs forward Jeremy Sochan is scheduled to undergo surgery on his fractured left thumb this week, as reported by NBA insider Shams Charania.
The 21-year-old suffered the injury during the Spurs’ recent loss to the Los Angeles Clippers, where he was limited to just 12 minutes of play.
Sochan’s absence is a significant setback for the Spurs, as he has been an integral part of their lineup early in the 2024-25 season. The young forward has shown notable improvement, averaging 15.4 points, 7.7 rebounds, and 3 assists over his first seven games.
His strong start has provided the Spurs, who currently hold a 3-4 record, with a solid presence in both scoring and rebounding.
This season, Sochan’s role on the court has expanded, and he has embraced it effectively. His contributions have been essential in the Spurs’ recent wins, as he’s consistently displayed his versatility on both ends of the floor. Losing him for an indefinite period will likely force San Antonio to make adjustments in their rotation and offensive approach.
While there is no official timetable for Sochan’s return, thumb injuries often require a recovery period of several weeks following surgery. The Spurs and their medical team will evaluate his progress post-surgery, determining his return based on his healing and ability to handle physical play.
