2024年10月9日，星期三，在霜冻银行中心球馆举行的NBA季前赛上半场，圣安东尼奥马刺队前锋杰里米·索汉 (Jeremy Sochan) (10) 与奥兰多魔术队后卫科尔·安东尼 (Cole Anthony) (50) 拼抢球。圣安东尼奥以107-97击败奥兰多。
马刺队在周三正式告别了昔日队友索汉，由于球队在上周的交易截止日前未能将其送走，索汉已同意达成合同买断。
据《纽约邮报》报道，22岁的索汉预计将在度过澄清期后与纽约尼克斯队签下一份联盟底薪合同。这将开启索汉与老东家的重聚之战，比赛将于3月1日在麦迪逊广场花园球馆举行。
“我们都非常清楚他渴望进入轮换阵容并获得更多机会，尤其是最近，”马刺队教练米奇·约翰逊 (Mitch Johnson) 表示，“我们想成全他，确保他在本赛季结束前能获得那样的机会。”
索汉的离去，标志着马刺队那届命运多舛的2022年选秀成员正式草草收场。
球队在那个赛季手握三个首轮签，分别在第9顺位选中了索汉，第20顺位选中了马拉凯·布兰纳姆 (Malaki Branham)，以及在第25顺位选中了布雷克·韦斯利 (Blake Wesley)。
如今，这三名球员都已不在队中。
在周四发布于个人社交媒体账号的贴文中，索汉表达了感人至深的告别。
“我一生中都在四处漂泊，这是自15岁以来我在同一个地方待得最久的一次，”索汉在部分内容中写道，“我将永远热爱圣安东尼奥！万事皆有因，时间会证明一切。”

Mitch Johnson explains why the Spurs parted ways with Jeremy Sochan
San Antonio Spurs forward Jeremy Sochan (10) battles for the ball with Orlando Magic guard Cole Anthony (50) during the first half of their NBA preseason game at the Frost Bank Center on Wednesday, Oct 9, 2024. San Antonio beat Orlando 107-97.
The Spurs on Wednesday bid a fond farewell to now former teammate Jeremy Sochan, who has agreed to a contract buyout after the team failed in its bid to move him before last week’s trade deadline.
The 22-year-old Sochan is expected to sign a league-minimum deal with the New York Knicks once he clears waivers, according to the New York Post. That would set up a reunion with Sochan’s old team March 1 at Madison Square Garden.
“We were all very aware of his desire to be in the rotation and given more of an opportunity, especially recently,” Spurs coach Mitch Johnson said. “We wanted to do right by him and make sure he had that opportunity before the year was over.”
Sochan’s departure marks an unceremonious closing chapter for the Spurs’ ill-fated 2022 draft class.
The team had three first-round picks that season, using them on Sochan at No. 9, Malaki Branham at No. 20 and Blake Wesley at No. 25.
None of those players remain with the team.
In a post on his social media accounts Thursday, Sochan offered a heartfelt goodbye.
“I’ve moved around a lot throughout my life and this is the longest I’ve been in the same place since I was 15 years old,” Sochan wrote in part. “I’ll always have love for San Antonio! Everything happens for a reason (and) time will tell.”
