After nearly four seasons with the San Antonio Spurs, he was waived and signed with the Knicks, picking up a championship ring when New York beat the Spurs in the 2026 Finals. After New York, it appeared Sochan was spending the 2026-2027 season in Portland, but was waived after four preseason games. The Polish-American power forward declared for the G-League draft and one week later was chosen first overall by the Texas Legends. Here he is earlier this week in his first press conference as a member of the Legends. Jeremy Sochan with the most humble and thoughtful response to his last 10 months or so, from NBA Champion (Knicks) to a standard G-League contract (Texas Legends). – Drafted 9th overall by the Spurs in 2022, Sochan was a focal point of their early rebuild. – 2025–26 season,… pic.twitter.com/n1ZUt3fkTI— Abby Jones (@_abigaiiiil) November 3, 2026 “I think the way I grew up, my family, my parents; it’s always been like that. I could look at it negatively (the Portland situation). But when I look back at that situation, I think the two months I was there, I grew a lot.

And instead, be in this moment and do what I can do and keep that momentum going.” According to Marc Spears, Sochan originally found out he was being waived by the Spurs through another player: Ex-Spurs forward Jeremy Sochan says a teammate of his told him the Spurs wanted to waive him, and it bothered him that he found out that way:“I thought I was going to be there for the rest of the season at least,” Sochan said of San Antonio. “And a few days after the trade… pic.twitter.com/z2vTe7T6qD— JeffGSpursZone (@JeffGSpursZone) November 5, 2026 “I thought I was going to be there for the rest of the season at least. And a few days after the trade deadline, it’s funny. I don’t want to be messy or anything, but I found out from one of my teammates that they wanted to waive me, and it definitely hit me in a way. But again, I kind of had the mentality of, ‘It is what it is.’ I heard it was pretty possible from someone else, and then officially found out through my agent. So, that was definitely new to me.“ Texas Legends season kicks off tonight in Mexico City against the Capitanes. Welcome to the Thread.
