2024年11月9日星期六，在弗罗斯特银行中心举行的与犹他爵士队的NBA比赛下半场，圣安东尼奥马刺队前锋西迪·西索科（Sidy Cissoko）（左）、前锋杰里米·索汉（Jeremy Sochan）和后卫特雷·琼斯（Tre Jones）坐在替补席上观赛。爵士队以111-110击败了马刺队。
马刺队前锋杰里米·索汉(Jeremy Sochan)周三晚表示，他在接受拇指手术后重返赛场可能就在几天之内。
“自从上周以来，我就一直想上场比赛，但我仍然需要保持耐心，遵守流程，”这是他三周前接受手术以来的首次媒体采访。“但（我的复出）会比预期的要早。所以，我认为会是几天而不是几个月，这是最重要的。”
索汉在11月4日以104-113输给洛杉矶快船队的比赛第二节中左拇指骨折，并缺席了比赛的剩余时间。
马刺队尚未公布他回归的时间表，但代理主教练米奇·约翰逊(Mitch Johnson)表示，索汉“可能比预期提前复出”。
“他做得很好，”约翰逊在周三晚对阵洛杉矶湖人队的比赛前说道。
“医疗团队和体能训练人员都做得很好，”约翰逊补充道。“他已经能够进行一些跑步和保持状态的训练，我知道我们听到的都是积极的反馈。”
考虑到伤势的性质，索汉一直能够进行有氧运动，但为了避免拇指再次受伤，他不能参加五对五的对抗训练。
“我认为（恢复的）过程就是保持健康，保持良好的状态，”他说。“我仍然可以进行力量训练，所以我可以变得更强壮。我和我的训练师开玩笑说，这有点像第二个季前赛，所以我可以变得更好、更强壮、更快。不得不坐在场边很烦人，但（我的恢复）正在进行中，这是最重要的。”
索汉，这位21岁的贝勒大学校友，在2022年被马刺队以第九顺位选中，场均可以得到职业生涯最高的15.4分，还有7.7个篮板、3.0次助攻和1.0次抢断，场均出场时间为29.3分钟。
约翰逊还宣布了一个关于伤病方面的好消息，他宣布德文·瓦塞尔(Devin Vassell)（膝盖）将在周三晚对阵洛杉矶湖人队的比赛中复出，尽管他的出场时间会受到限制。
瓦塞尔本赛季只打了四场比赛，在休赛期接受足部手术后缺席了前九场比赛。在接受核磁共振检查显示左膝骨挫伤后，他缺席了过去五场比赛，现在将对阵湖人队复出。
约翰逊表示，教练组还没有讨论一旦索汉准备好再次首发后如何重新调整轮换阵容。
马刺队本赛季的首发阵容是克里斯·保罗(Chris Paul)、朱利安·尚帕尼(Julian Champagnie)、哈里森·巴恩斯(Harrison Barnes)、索汉和维克托·文班亚马(Victor Wembanyama)，其中尚帕尼顶替了瓦塞尔的位置。
在索汉受伤后，新秀斯蒂芬·卡斯尔(Stephon Castle)被提升到首发阵容。
“我们有很多变动，但我认为我们期待着他的回归。显然，他在受伤前在很多方面都表现出色，并将继续增加我们的阵容深度。”
一旦瓦塞尔的出场时间不再受限，教练组也可能面临一个艰难的决定。
“我们欢迎更多球员的加入，”约翰逊说道。

Sochan says his return could come within ‘days’
San Antonio Spurs forward Sidy Cissoko, from left, forward Jeremy Sochan and guard Tre Jones watch from the bench during the second half of their NBA game with the Utah Jazz at the Frost Bank Center on Saturday, Nov. 9, 2024. Utah beat the Spurs 111-110.
Spurs forward Jeremy Sochan said Wednesday night his return to the court after thumb surgery could be within days.
“I’ve been wanting to play since last week, but I still got to stay patient and just follow protocol,” he said in his first session with the media since he underwent surgery three weeks ago. “But it’s going to be sooner than later. So, I think it’s going to be days instead of months, so that’s the most important thing.”
Sochan fractured his left thumb in the second quarter of the 113-104 loss to the Los Angeles Clippers on Nov. 4 and missed the rest of the game.
The Spurs have not announced a timeline for his return, but acting head coach Mitch Johnson said Sochan “could potentially be ahead of schedule.”
“He’s done a great job,” Johnson said before Wednesday night’s game against the Los Angeles Lakers.
“The medical team, performance staff have done a great job,” Johnson added. “He’s been able to do some things in terms of running and staying in shape and I know we’ve heard all positive feedback.”
Given the nature of his injury, Sochan has been able to do cardio work but no five-on-five action for fear of the thumb getting hit.
“I think the process is just stay fit, have good conditioning,” he said. “I’m still able to lift so I get stronger. I laugh with my trainers that it’s kind of a little second preseason so I can get better, stronger, faster. It’s annoying (having to sit out), but it’s getting there, so that’s the most important thing.”
Sochan, a 21-year-old Baylor alumnus drafted ninth overall by the Spurs in 2022, was averaging a career-high 15.4 points per game to go along with 7.7 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 1.0 steal in 29.3 minutes.
Johnson also offered good news on the injury front when he announced Devin Vassell (knee) would be active for Wednesday night’s game against the Los Angeles Lakers, albeit with his minutes capped.
Vassell has played in only four games this season after missing the first nine games following offseason foot surgery. He was set to return against the Lakers after missing the past five games following an MRI that revealed a bruised bone in his left knee.
Johnson said the coaching staff hasn’t had discussions yet about how to re-adjust the rotation once Sochan ready to start again.
The Spurs started the season with a starting lineup of Chris Paul, Julian Champagnie, Harrison Barnes, Sochan and Victor Wembanyama, with Champagnie was filling in for Vassell.
After Sochan went down, rookie Stephon Castle was promoted from the bench.
“We’ve had so many moving parts, but I think we’re looking forward to have him back, Obviously what he did prior to his injury was exceptional in a lot of different ways and to continue to add to our depth.”
The coaching staff also might face a tough decision once Vassell no longer has his minutes restricted.
“More pieces is something we would welcome,” Johnson said.
