2025年11月5日，周三，洛杉矶，在一场NBA常规赛的下半场，圣安东尼奥马刺队前锋杰里米·索汉（右）正在防守洛杉矶湖人队前锋杰克·拉拉维亚 (Jake LaRavia) 的投篮。在马刺队不敌湖人队的比赛中，索汉迎来了表现强势的赛季首秀。
洛杉矶电 - 当休斯顿火箭队研究周三晚间马刺以116-118不敌洛杉矶湖人队的比赛录像时，关于杰里米·索汉 (Jeremy Sochan) 的一点肯定会让他们眼前一亮。
这位进入自己第四个NBA赛季的球员仅仅打了一场比赛，他作为场上“惹事精”的状态就已然调整到了赛季中期水准。
在因小腿和手腕伤势缺席了整个季前赛及常规赛前六场比赛后，索汉在洛杉矶迎来了他2025-26赛季的首秀。
尽管久疏战阵，他替补出战23分钟，7投6中得到16分，但在比赛还剩13.3秒时犯满离场。
同时，他也毫不掩饰地继续展现着自己激怒对手的“特长”。在第一节还剩5分09秒首次替补登场后，他立刻开始尝试折磨五届全明星球员卢卡·东契奇 (Luka Doncic)。
“我永远不会改变我的性格，”索汉说道。“我就是这样的人。比赛结束后我们可以是朋友，但在比赛中，我会拼尽全力搞你心态。卢卡是世界上最顶尖的球员之一，所以你必须尝试用不同的方法去干扰他、惹恼他。”
东契奇在42分钟内砍下35分和13个篮板。但在斯蒂芬·卡斯尔和索汉的联手限制下，他打得相当挣扎，全场27投仅9中，效率低下。本场比赛耗时近三小时，双方合计犯规高达66次，罚球总数达到84次，东契奇在罚球线上17罚13中。
除了索汉，维克托·文班亚马 (Victor Wembanyama) 和哈里森·巴恩斯 (Harrison Barnes) 也在比赛最后1分40秒内犯满离场。
马刺队将在周五下午6:30主场迎战火箭队，开启他们的NBA杯征程。本场比赛，马刺在第三节末段曾手握12分的领先优势，但湖人队随后打出一波21-10的攻势终结了比赛。在比赛还剩1.2秒、洛杉矶以最终比分领先时，凯利·奥利尼克 (Kelly Olynyk) 补篮得手，随后马库斯·斯马特 (Marcus Smart) 出现发球违例，这让马刺队仍有机会上演惊天逆转。
接着，朱利安·尚佩尼 (Julian Champagnie) 在尝试将边线球补进时造成犯规，但这位前锋在比赛仅剩0.2秒时罚失了第一球。凯尔登·约翰逊 (Keldon Johnson) 未能将他第二次罚失的球补进，湖人队就此取得五连胜，并以6胜2负的战绩在西部排名上超越马刺。
这是马刺队在取得队史最佳的5胜0负开局后，遭遇的连续第二场失利。本场比赛，文班亚马在进攻端再次表现不佳，他持续面对着蜂拥而上的双人甚至三人包夹。三天前，在客场以118-130不敌菲尼克斯太阳的比赛中，他仅得到9分；本场比赛，这位身高7英尺4英寸的全明星中锋14投5中得到19分，并在职业生涯中第二次犯满离场。
索汉并非马刺队中唯一迎来赛季首秀的球员。
奥利尼克，这位在休赛期通过与华盛顿的交易加盟球队的13年老将前锋/中锋，也迎来了他的圣安东尼奥首秀。他此前效力于新奥尔良鹈鹕队，并在四月份接受了脚跟手术，此后一直长期缺阵。
马刺队还迎回了后卫林迪·沃特斯三世 (Lindy Waters III)。球队在休赛期签下了他，但他因接受双眼手术自季前赛最后一周起一直缺阵至今。
沃特斯三世出战14分钟，外线2投2中得到6分。奥利尼克在9分钟内贡献4分、4个篮板和3次助攻，但在防守端表现挣扎。
与此同时，索汉一复出便迅速进入状态。
“杰里米表现非常出色，”马刺队教练米奇·约翰逊 (Mitch Johnson) 说道。“他的能量和防守存在感太棒了。”
在这个主场两连背靠背的赛程中（周六对阵鹈鹕队结束），马刺队的伤病名单终于有望清空了。
当被问及自八月以来因腿筋伤势缺阵的控球后卫德阿龙·福克斯 (De’Aaron Fox) 和因脚踝受伤缺席了过去四场比赛的替补中锋卢克·科内特 (Luke Kornet) 是否可能在本周末复出时，约翰逊表示：“他们快了。是的，我们正期待着球员们的回归。”
关于新秀后卫迪伦·哈珀 (Dylan Harper) 在对阵菲尼克斯时拉伤右小腿后可能缺阵多久的问题，约翰逊并未给出明确的说法：
“除了我们可以庆幸伤得不重之外，我不知道具体细节，”他说道。
有一件事是肯定的：到了周五，索汉将再次准备就绪。在马刺队未能在截止日期前为他提供续约合同，导致他将在赛季末成为一名受限制自由球员之后，他似乎决心要打出一个强势的赛季。
“我只需要做我自己，继续保持侵略性的打法，”他谈到自己的比赛风格时说。“我想并非所有人都了解（马刺队没有提前续约我的）全部情况。对我而言，我认为我一直都是一名马刺人，将来也永远是。能和队友们待在同一个更衣室里，我感到非常开心。我会竭尽所能留在这里。”
“而要实现这一点，就是要做好自己，每天都付出110%的努力和能量。”

Spurs’ Jeremy Sochan returns in midseason form as an instigator
San Antonio Spurs forward Jeremy Sochan, right, defends a shot from Los Angeles Lakers forward Jake LaRavia during the second half of an NBA basketball game Wednesday, Nov. 5, 2025, in Los Angeles. Sochan had a strong season debut in the Spurs’ loss to the Lakers.
LOS ANGELES - When the Houston Rockets study tape of the Spurs’ 118-116 loss to the Los Angeles Lakers on Wednesday night, one thing is sure to jump out to them about Jeremy Sochan.
Just a game into his fourth NBA season, he’s already in midseason form as an instigator.
Sochan made his 2025-26 debut in Los Angeles after calf and wrist injuries kept him on the sidelines throughout the preseason and the first six games of the regular season.
Despite the long layoff, he finished with 16 points on 6 of 7 from the field while logging 23 minutes off the bench before fouling out with 13.3 seconds left in the game.
He also unapologetically continued to excel at getting under the skin of opponents. After checking into the game for the first time with 5:09 left in the first quarter, he immediately began trying to torment five-time All-Star Luka Doncic.
“I’m never going to change my character,” Sochan said. “That’s who I am. We can be friends after, but during I am going to try my best to (expletive) you up. Luka is one of the best in the world, so you got to try different things to (expletive) with him and piss him off.”
Doncic finished with 35 points and 13 rebounds in 42 minutes. But Stephon Castle, with some help from Sochan, made him work for it, forcing him into an inefficient 9 of 27 from the field in a game. Doncic also hit 13 of 17 from the foul line in a game that lasted nearly three hours because the teams combined for a whopping 66 fouls and took a combined 84 free throws.
In addition to Sochan, Victor Wembanyama and Harrison Barnes also fouled out in the final 1:40.
The Spurs, who are set to open NBA Cup play at 6:30 p.m. Friday at home against the Rockets, enjoyed a 12-point lead late in the third quarter before the Lakers finished the game on a 21-10 run. The Spurs still had a chance to pull out an improbable win after the Marcus Smart committed an inbound violation following Kelly Olynyk’s putback layup with 1.2 seconds left and L.A. leading by the final score.
Julian Champagnie then drew a foul while trying to tip in the inbound pass, but the forward missed his first free throw with 0.2 seconds left. Keldon Johnson failed to tip in his second miss, and the Lakers had their fifth win in a row to move ahead of the Spurs in the West standings at 6-2.
It was the Spurs’ second loss in a row after a franchise-best 5-0 start, and it came with Wembanyama struggling through his second subpar offensive outing against swarming double- and sometimes triple-teams. Three days after he scored just nine points in a 130-118 loss at Phoenix, the 7-foot-4 All-Star center finished with 19 points on 5 of 14 before he fouled out for only the second time in his career.
Sochan wasn’t the only player to make his season debut for the Spurs.
Olynyk, the 13th-year forward/center acquired in an offseason trade with Washington, logged his first appearance for San Antonio after a long layoff that started with heel surgery in April after a stint with the New Orleans Pelicans.
The Spurs also welcomed back guard Lindy Waters III, who they signed in the offseason and has been out since the final week of the preseason due to a bilateral eye procedure.
Waters finished with six points on 2 of 2 from distance in 14 minutes. Olynyk had four points, four rebounds and three assists in nine minutes but struggled defensively.
Sochan, meanwhile, hit the ground running.
“Jeremy was great,” Spurs coach Mitch Johnson said. “His energy and defensive presence was awesome.”
The Spurs could finally wipe their injury list clean during this two-game, back-to-back homestand that ends against the Pelicans on Saturday.
Asked if point guard De’Aaron Fox, who has been out since August with a hamstring injury, and backup center Luke Kornet, who has missed the last four games with an ankle injury, could return this weekend, Johnson said, “They’re close. Yeah, we’re looking forward to bringing guys back.”
Regarding how long rookie guard Dylan Harper might be out after straining his right calf against Phoenix, Johnson offered little clarity:
“I don’t know the details other than we probably can knock wood a little bit,” he said.
One thing is certain: Sochan will be ready to go again come Friday. After the Spurs failed to meet a deadline to give him a contract extension, a move that resulted in him becoming a restricted free agent at the end of the season, he seems determined to have a strong season.
“I just got to be me and keep doing that,” he said of his aggressive play. "I don’t think everyone knows the full story (about the Spurs decision not to extend him). For me, I think I’ve always been a Spur and I always will, and I’m just happy to be in this locker room with the teammates. I’m going to do everything to be here.
“And for that to happen, it’s just being me, bringing 110% every day and energy.”
