The Knicks are adding some intriguing depth, with forward Jeremy Sochan planning to sign a contract for the remainder of the season once he clears waivers, his agent told Shams Charania of ESPN.
Sochan, 22, was recently waived by the Spurs after they failed to move him ahead of the trade deadline.
The Knicks and Spurs discussed a potential Sochan trade before the deadline but did not gain much traction, reports SNY NBA Insider Ian Begley.
A former lottery pick, Sochan has averaged 10.4 points, 5.6 rebounds, and 2.6 assists during his first three-plus NBA seasons.
He was a key contributor for San Antonio over his first three campaigns, but his playing time diminished this season.
Sochan averaged just 12.8 minutes per game this season for the Spurs after averaging 25.3 minutes per game during the 2024-25 campaign.
For the Knicks, Sochan will give head coach Mike Brown a rotation option with upside.
New York has been undermanned recently, with OG Anunoby missing the last four games due to a toe injury and Deuce McBride potentially out until the playoffs due to a sports hernia.
The Knicks have also been without Mitchell Robinson from time to time because of workload management.
