Sochan has been ruled out for Sunday's matchup against Minnesota due to an illness, Ty Jager of PoundingTheRock.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Sochan was a late scratch Sunday morning due to an illness and will join Devin Vassell (knee) and Josh Richardson (back) in street clothes. Given the aforementioned players' absences, expect Doug McDermott, Blake Wesley, Romeo Langford and Malaki Branham to see increased roles against the Timberwolves.

Sochan ended with 13 points (5-8 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), six rebounds, five assists, one block and one steal across 31 minutes during Friday's 129-124 victory over Chicago.

EDGE Analysis

Sochan cobbled together another serviceable performance in the win, continuing to creep ever so slowly onto the standard league radar. He has now scored in double digits in three straight games, playing at least 23 minutes in all three. The Spurs seem to love having him on the floor and developing him is going to be a key motivator moving forward. He isn't quite there as a must-add player but for anyone who can take a bit of a risk, consider throwing him on the end of your bench.

Sochan totaled 12 points (5-13 FG, 2-6 3Pt), one rebound, two assists, one block and one steal across 28 minutes during Wednesday's 134-122 loss to the Timberwolves.

EDGE Analysis

Sochan started the season off slow with just nine combined points through the first three games, but he's upped both his shot volume and conversion rate over the last pair, connecting on 54.5 percent of his attempts from the field while tallying 14 and 12 points, respectively. The No. 9 overall pick has claimed a regular spot in the starting lineup and figures to maintain it if he continues his recent success.

Sochan logged four points (2-8 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 0-1 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and two steals over 27 minutes during Wednesday's 129-102 loss to the Hornets.

EDGE Analysis

Sochan was underwhelming in the loss, although the playing time was encouraging. Scoring is not certainly not going to be a strength for the rookie, with his appeal built on board and defensive numbers. He was able to contribute in both of these areas and so while it was an inauspicious outing, he did enough to remain viable in standard leagues.

Sochan will start in Tuesday's preseason matchup with the Jazz, Sarah Todd of The Deseret News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Sochan will make his second consecutive start in the preseason. In Sunday's preseason game, he tallied four rebounds, one assist and one steal in 18 minutes. Sochan will bump Doug McDermott to the bench for Tuesday's game.

Sochan is starting Sunday's preseason game against the Pelicans, Dan Weiss of Bally Sports San Antonio reports.

EDGE Analysis

Sochan came off the bench in the Spurs' first two preseason matchups and averaged 19.5 minutes per game. However, he'll draw the start Sunday while Devin Vassell comes off the bench.

Sochan (hamstring) has been participating in daily workouts since the end of Summer League, Tom Orsborn of the San Antonio Express-News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Sochan wasn't able to play in Summer League due to a combination of COVID-19 and a hamstring issue, but per Orsborn's report, the No. 9 pick in the 2022 Draft said his "body is feeling great" and he's "excited to be on the court finally." Sochan chose to remain in San Antonio before the start of camp instead of competing for Poland at EuroBasket, so his health shouldn't be an issue when camp begins in September.
