Sochan (back) is probable for Monday's game against the Cavaliers due to return to competition reconditioning, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Sochan was limited to 21 minutes during his return Saturday from a four-game absence due to back soreness. The rookie first-round pick will likely suit up again Monday but presumably remain on a minutes restriction for at least one more contest. Despite limitations, Sochan still posted 18 points (7-15 FG), nine rebounds, five assists, one steal and one block during San Antonio's loss to Atlanta.

EDGE Analysis

Even though his minutes were managed in his return from a four-game absence due to a back issue, Sochan delivered an excellent all-around performance. The rookie ended just one rebound away from recording what would have been his first career double-double, and he'll likely be in store for more minutes in future games once his injury is further in the rear-view mirror. If Sochan was dropped in 12-team category leagues while he was hurt, he might be worthy of a pickup, given the likelihood that his role is only likely to expand while the Spurs prioritize the development of younger players late in the season.

Despite going through shootaround Friday morning, Sochan will miss a fourth straight game due to back soreness. He's one of seven Spurs listed as out, so San Antonio will be extremely shorthanded against Detroit. Expect Keita Bates-Diop to draw another start at power forward in Sochan's absence.
