Sochan (back) has been ruled out for Friday's game against Cleveland, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Sochan has missed the Spurs' last two games while dealing with low back spasms, and he'll miss a third consecutive contest due to inflammation in his lower back. The 21-year-old forward's next opportunity to feature will come Sunday against Portland. Bismack Biyombo and Charles Bassey (knee), who is questionable for Friday, are candidates for an uptick in playing time due to Sochan being sidelined.

Sochan (back) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Nuggets, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Sochan will miss a second straight game for the Spurs due to a back issue. San Antonio will likely lean on Charles Bassey (knee), Bismack Biyombo and Sandro Mamukelashvili to shoulder the load in the frontcourt in Denver.

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.

EDGE Analysis

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.

Sochan won't play in Tuesday's game versus the Magic due to lower back spasms, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Despite not appearing on the injury report all day, Sochan has been ruled out Tuesday due to back spasms. Bismack Biyombo will likely start at center in his absence. Sochan's next chance to suit up is Wednesday's matchup with Denver.

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.

EDGE Analysis

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 is in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Celtics.

EDGE Analysis

The Spurs are tweaking their starting lineup for this matchup and will go with Sochan at center, perhaps in an effort to defend the outside threat of Kristaps Porzingis more efficiently. Sochan has made 14 appearances in March, though only two of those have come as a starter. He's averaging 12.1 points, 5.4 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 0.7 steals per game in that stretch.

Sochan ended with two points (1-4 FG), four rebounds, one block and one steal in 15 minutes during Tuesday's 122-96 loss to Detroit.

EDGE Analysis

Sochan picked up three quick fouls Tuesday, limiting his workload in the loss. This was just a small bump in the road in what's been a decent month for the forward. Over 13 March contests, Sochan holds averages of 12.8 points, 5.6 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 0.8 steals and 0.7 three-pointers in 25.7 minutes.

Sochan won't start Sunday's game against the Raptors, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.

EDGE Analysis

Sochan has made back-to-back starts but will come off the bench Sunday, as Bismack Biyombo is starting at center. Over his last six appearances (two starts), Sochan has averaged 15.7 points, 5.7 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 0.8 steals in 28.3 minutes per game.

Sochan accumulated 23 points (11-17 FG, 1-2 FT), nine rebounds and two assists over 35 minutes during Friday's 128-120 victory over Philadelphia.

EDGE Analysis

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. Sochan is averaging 13.9 points, 8.1 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 0.9 steals per game when deployed in a starting role this season.

Sochan produced 10 points (5-14 FG, 0-3 3Pt), six rebounds, three assists and one steal across 38 minutes during Wednesday's 120-105 win over New York.

EDGE Analysis

Sochan returned to the starting lineup for the first time since Jan. 6, and he posted a decent stat line, though he struggled from the floor after ending with only 10 points on 14 attempts. Despite the shooting woes, this was the fifth straight game in which Sochan scored in double digits, a span in which he's averaging 14.2 points, 5.0 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 0.8 steals per game.
