2026年1月15日，星期四，在圣安东尼奥 Frost Bank 中心对阵密尔沃基雄鹿队前，圣安东尼奥马刺队前锋杰里米·索汉 (10) 与队友一起热身。
NBA交易截止日于周四落下帷幕，尽管面临重重变数，索汉最终还是留在了马刺。
鉴于这位22岁的防守专家已经跌出了主教练米奇·约翰逊 (Mitch Johnson) 的轮换阵容，俱乐部在周四的截止日前表现出了极大的诚意，试图为其寻找一个新东家。
但这并未发生。
马刺也没有参与任何其他交易，在圣安东尼奥，这最终演变成了一个平淡无奇的交易季。
“无论你的个人处境如何，每年的这个时候对大家来说都很奇妙，”约翰逊说道，“我认为由于改变可能很困难，大家此时都会感到一丝不安。有时改变是预料之中的，有时则是意料之外，甚至有人预想了一件事，结果却完全不同。”
在进入本周四之前，马刺已连续五个二月完成了不同规模的交易。
但这一次，他们选择作壁上观，决定维持现有阵容。凭借这套阵容，马刺在周四客场挑战独行侠前暂居西部第二。
全联盟总共有27支NBA球队在今年截止日前后完成了交易，仅有马刺、休斯顿火箭和迈阿密热火按兵不动。
在交易截止日保持沉默或许是这支马刺队的新现象，但从历史上看，该俱乐部在赛季中期更倾向于保持核心阵容的稳定性。
在去年二月马刺通过交易从萨克拉门托换来全明星后卫达龙·福克斯 (De’Aaron Fox) 之前，他们上一次在赛季中期引进重要球员还要追溯到2012年，当时他们从金州换回了斯蒂芬·杰克逊 (Stephen Jackson)，并送走了理查德·杰弗森 (Richard Jefferson)。
预计马刺将积极关注买断市场，因为各支球队会在截止日后裁掉球员。
俱乐部目前有510万美元的额度可用于签约自由球员。不过，马刺现有的18人大名单已满，若要引援则必须先裁掉一人。
继续沿用这套班底具有一定的吸引力，毕竟马刺在本赛季前50场比赛中取得了自2016-17赛季以来的最佳开局。周四赛前，马刺战绩为34胜16负。
“自从我来到这里，我不断看到队友们在进步，全队乃至教练组都在共同成长，”福克斯说，“显然，过去一年的期望值发生了变化，而且是在向好的方向发展。”
正如之前承诺的那样，马刺确实曾尝试为索汉寻找下家。作为2022年的首轮9号秀，在球队阵容围绕超级巨星维克托·文班亚马 (Victor Wembanyama) 重新磨合后，索汉一直难以找到适合自己的位置。
据报道，马刺与纽约尼克斯之间关于前锋盖尔雄·亚布塞莱 (Guerschon Yabusele) 的谈判陷入僵局，原因是马刺拒绝承担这位30岁法国前锋下赛季价值540万美元的球员选项。
此外据报道，马刺还曾与菲尼克斯太阳探讨过关于索汉与尼克·理查兹 (Nick Richards) 互换的可能性，但谈判同样无疾而终。
最终，亚布塞莱和理查兹都被交易到了芝加哥公牛。相比于静观其变的马刺，公牛在截止日表现得异常忙碌，自周六以来共达成了五笔交易。
索汉因球队所称的股四头肌拉伤未随队前往达拉斯。
上个月底，索汉承认他在圣安东尼奥的时光可能即将结束，并已做好了离队的心理准备。
这一时刻很可能在今年休赛期到来，届时索汉将职业生涯首次成为自由球员。
“我觉得我已经为这座城市付出了大量的汗水和心血，”索汉在1月曾表示，“这就是我的性格。无论身在何处，我都会倾尽所有。而现在，我依然留在这里。”
尽管这位身高6英尺8英寸的前锋本赛季缺席的比赛（25场）几乎与出场次数（27场）持平，但约翰逊多次称赞他是一名“称职的士兵”。
这位教练预计，在交易截止日过后，索汉将继续保持这种职业态度。
“杰里米来到这里已经四年了，在组织内部积累了深厚的资历，”约翰逊说，“我很欣赏他在本赛季对待工作的方式，以及他愿意按照我们的要求去参与每一个环节的精神。”

Jeremy Sochan remains a Spur, but where was he nearly traded?
San Antonio Spurs forward Jeremy Sochan (10) warms up with his teammates before taking on the Milwaukee Bucks at Frost Bank Center in San Antonio, Thursday, Jan. 15, 2026.
The NBA trade deadline came and went Thursday, and — perhaps against some odds — Jeremy Sochan remained a member of the Spurs.
With the 22-year-old defensive specialist having fallen out of coach Mitch Johnson’s playing rotation, the club made what appears to be a good-faith effort to find him a new home in advance of Thursday’s deadline.
That did not happen.
Nor did any other transaction involving the Spurs, in what turned out to be an uneventful trade season in San Antonio.
“It’s just a weird part of the year for everybody, regardless of what your personal situation is,” Johnson said. “I think everybody gets a little uneasy around this time because change can be hard and sometimes it’s expected and sometimes it’s unexpected and sometimes people expect one thing and it’s totally different.”
Heading into Thursday, the Spurs had made trades of varying consequence during five consecutive Februarys.
They wound up keeping out of the fray this time, opting instead to stand pat on the roster that has them in second place of the Western Conference entering Thursday’s game at Dallas.
In all, 27 NBA teams made deals at or around this year’s deadline. Only the Spurs, Houston Rockets and Miami Heat did not.
Inactivity around the deadline might be a new phenomenon for this iteration of the Spurs, but historically the club has leaned toward keeping groups together in season.
Prior to last February, when the Spurs swung a deal with Sacramento for All-Star guard De’Aaron Fox, the last time they had added a piece of any consequence at midseason was 2012, when they obtained Stephen Jackson from Golden State in exchange for Richard Jefferson.
Expect the Spurs to actively monitor the buyout market as teams waive players post-deadline.
The club has a modest $5.1 million available to spend on a free agent. Will a full 18-man roster, the Spurs would need to waive a player to add a player.
The idea of rolling with the group that has the Spurs out to their best 50-game start since 2016-17 has some appeal. The Spurs were 34-16 entering Thursday.
“Since I’ve been here, I’ve continued to see guys get better, continue to grow together as a team and even the coaching staff,” Fox said. “Obviously the expectations have changed in the past year, and for the better.”
As promised, the Spurs did make an attempt to re-home Sochan, the No. 9 pick in the 2022 draft who has struggled to find a fit in the club’s plans as the roster has coalesced around superstar Victor Wembanyama.
Talks with New York involving forward Guerschon Yabusele snagged, reportedly over the Spurs’ refusal to take on the 30-year-old Frenchman’s $5.4 million player option for next season.
The Spurs also reportedly held discussions with Phoenix about a possible Sochan-Nick Richards swap, but those conversations likewise went nowhere.
Ultimately, Yabusele and Richards both ended up dealt to Chicago, where the Bulls were as busy on deadline day — making five deals since Saturday — as the Spurs were idle.
Sochan did not travel with the Spurs to Dallas due to what the team called a quadriceps strain.
Late last month, Sochan acknowledged the prospect his time in San Antonio might be finished. He had come to grips with the possibility of moving on.
That will likely come this offseason, when Sochan becomes a free agent for the first time in his NBA career.
“I feel like I put a lot of blood and sweat here in this city,” Sochan said in January. “That’s who I am. I’m going to put all of that into wherever I am. And I’m here right now.”
Johnson has often praised Sochan for being a good soldier this season, even as the 6-foot-8 forward sat out almost as many games (25) as he played (27).
The coach expects that will continue from Sochan now that the trade deadline has passed.
“Jeremy has been here now for four years and built up a lot of equity within this organization,” Johnson said. “I’ve appreciated his approach and his willingness to participate in every way we’ve asked him to this year.”
