Sochan (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Hawks, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Sochan left Friday's game against the Grizzlies with right knee soreness, the same injury that has been bothering him over the last few weeks, and it's not surprising to see the Spurs taking a conservative approach with one of their best young players. In his absence, Doug McDermott, Dominick Barlow and Sandro Mamukelashvili are candidates for increased minutes.

Sochan will not return Friday against the Grizzlies due to right knee soreness, Tom Osborn of the San Antonio Express-News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Sochan played eight minutes in the first quarter and did not come out for the second half. The Spurs rarely take any risks in these situations. With Sochan out, the Spurs went smaller with Tre Jones next to Malaki Branham to open the second half.

Sochan won't play Wednesday against Dallas due to right knee injury management, Ty Jager of PoundingTheRock.com reports.

Sochan (rest) contributed 29 points (11-19 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 4-6 FT), 11 rebounds, two assists and one steal in 32 minutes during Tuesday's 132-114 win over the Magic.
EDGE Analysis
Sochan has been a mainstay on the injury report since early February with knee, quadriceps and back soreness. He's appeared in just two of the Spurs' past four games and may sit for the second half of San Antonio's back-to-back set Wednesday versus Dallas, but when he's available, the rookie first-round pick has been a steady producer, averaging 19.8 points, 8.3 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 1.0 steals in 30.7 minutes over his past six outings.

Sochan (knee) has been cleared for Tuesday's matchup against the Magic, Tom Osborn of the San Antonio Express-News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Knee, quadriceps and back soreness have all made Sochan a mainstay on the injury report since early February, but he'll be available Tuesday. Across his past eight appearances, the rookie has averaged 15.5 points, 7.1 rebounds and 3.0 assists in 29.0 minutes.

Sochan (knee) is questionable for Tuesday's game against Orlando, Ty Jager of PoundingTheRock.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Sochan missed Sunday's game against the Thunder due to a sore right foot, and it's unclear whether he'll be able to suit up Tuesday. Keldon Johnson (foot) is also questionable, and Keita Bates-Diop and Doug McDermott should see increased run if either Sochan or Johnson is unavailable.

Sochan (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's matchup against the Thunder, independent NBA writer Matthew Tynan reports.
EDGE Analysis
Sochan and Keldon Johnson (foot) have both been downgraded from questionable to out and will join Tre Jones on the sidelines (illness). Keita Bates-Diop and Doug McDermott are candidates for starting roles with the Spurs' frontcourt depleted. Sochan's next chance to suit up will come Tuesday against the Magic

Sochan is questionable to play Sunday against the Thunder due to right knee soreness, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Sochan has been dealing with the injury for quite a while now, and it's the same problem that kept him out of the March 5 game against the Nuggets. If Sochan can't go Sunday, then Keita Bates-Diop or Charles Bassey could be in line for bigger roles.

Sochan contributed 19 points (9-16 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), eight rebounds, three assists and one steal over 32 minutes during Friday's 128-120 victory over Denver.
EDGE Analysis
Sochan was back from a one-game absence due to a sore knee, so the fact that he played 32 minutes is a great sign. Sochan's activity on the defensive end is trending up with a total of five steals in his last three games, and the Spurs are likely to give him an expanded role down the stretch with the team eliminated from the playoffs.
