费城 —— 维克托·文班亚马 (Victor Wembanyama) 表示，他不知道是哪位纽约尼克斯队球员干的。
但这最终并不重要。
在周日马刺队客场89-114不敌纽约的下半场比赛中，文班亚马在尼克斯队替补席正前方的一次三分出手时被犯规。哨响后，文班亚马感觉到有一只手在抓他，于是他厌烦地头也不回地挥手拍开了那个“冒犯者”。
事实上，那只手的主人是他的前队友杰里米·索汉 (Jeremy Sochan)？
“我不在乎，”文班亚马笑着说道，“我也会以同样的方式回敬他。”
在与老东家的首次交锋中，索汉仅在垃圾时间出场两分钟，但他依然找到了惹恼前队友的方法。作为2022年NBA选秀的9号秀，索汉在全明星赛前达成了买断协议，这为他加盟尼克斯并寻求重振职业生涯扫清了障碍。
周日是他为新东家出战的第六场比赛。
“我正在逐渐适应，”索汉说道，他的头发染成了尼克斯标志性的橙蓝相间色，“这段时间确实很混乱。毕竟是在赛季中期，我们一直在四处奔波，这让适应过程变得更难。但每个人都很欢迎我——老板、球员以及整个社区。一切都很积极。”
和他的篮球生涯一样，索汉的生活仍处于变动之中。他一直带着两个行李箱住在曼哈顿，大部分物品仍留在圣安东尼奥。他的两只狗也还留在阿拉莫之城。
“那里的生活确实还在继续，”索汉说。
然而，那段生活已经成为了过去式。由于在圣安东尼奥失去了主教练米奇·约翰逊 (Mitch Johnson) 的轮换位置，索汉搬到了纽约，希望能向尼克斯以及其他28支球队证明自己的价值。
他注定将在今年夏天成为一名自由球员。
“他的到来非常棒，”纽约主帅迈克·布朗 (Mike Brown) 表示，“他是一个非常出色的人。而且最棒的一点是，他才22岁。这只是他的第四个赛季。我们觉得他还有很大的潜力，他能成为我们队中一名非常优秀的球员。”
到目前为止，索汉在尼克斯的表现还不算突出，场均出战6.5分钟，得到1.2分和1.3个篮板。
“我只是在努力在这里站稳脚跟，”索汉说。
在圣安东尼奥效力了三个多赛季后，索汉表示他已经准备好拥抱未来的一切——无论是在纽约还是其他地方。
“生活节奏很快，”索汉感叹道，“你必须改变思维方式并去接受它。我想我已经接受了这段新的旅程。”
即便穿上了尼克斯的蓝色球衣，索汉依然坚持自我。
在周日比赛开球前一小时，有人问索汉——这位NBA最著名的“刺头”之一——在比赛中他最期待去激怒马刺队的哪个人。
他的回答被证明极具预见性。
“走着瞧吧，”索汉露出了他标志性的缺牙式微笑，“反正我会喷我该喷的垃圾话。”
哈珀的花园球场首秀颇有“追星感”
在哈德逊河对岸的新泽西州长大，马刺队新秀迪伦·哈珀 (Dylan Harper) 曾作为球迷观看过几十场尼克斯队的比赛。
而周日是他第一次以NBA球员的身份踏入麦迪逊广场花园。
哈珀表示，最让他感到震撼的是场边坐着的那一排明星面孔——比如本·斯蒂勒 (Ben Stiller)、拉里·戴维 (Larry David)、特雷西·摩根 (Tracy Morgan) 和迈克尔·斯特拉汉 (Michael Strahan) 等名人。
“那可能是我觉得最不可思议的时刻，”哈珀说道。
哈珀此前曾在大学时期在麦迪逊广场花园打过一次球，去年他代表的罗格斯大学在这里对阵密歇根州立大学。
他的NBA花园球场首秀表现平平。哈珀在22分钟内得到8分和4次助攻，并在第一节一次关键回合中对尼克斯队的杰伦·布伦森连续两次犯规。
恩比德因伤无缘对阵马刺
马刺队将于周二在费城结束他们为期九场比赛的“牛仔节之旅”，对手是缺少了头号球星的76人队。
前MVP乔尔·恩比德 (Joel Embiid) 因在上周四对阵热火队的比赛中遭遇腹斜肌受伤，已被排除在出场名单之外。
伤病缠身的恩比德本赛季在33场比赛中场均得到26分。他在2月份的五场比赛中场均得到29分，位居当月东部联盟首位。

Jeremy Sochan opens up on new life with Knicks

PHILADELPHIA — Victor Wembanyama said he didn’t know which New York Knicks player did it.
In the end, it didn’t matter.
During the second half of the Spurs’ 114-89 loss at New York on Sunday, Wembanyama was fouled on a 3-point attempt directly in front of the Knicks’ bench. After the whistle, Wembanyama felt a hand grab at him and offered an annoyed, no-look swat toward the offender.
The fact the hand belonged to ex teammate Jeremy Sochan?
“I don’t care,” Wembanyama said with a smile. “I’ll give it to him the same.”
Sochan logged only two minutes of garbage time in his first meeting with his old team, but still found a way to annoy his former team. The No. 9 pick in the 2022 NBA draft, Sochan reached a buyout agreement just before the All-Star break that cleared a path for him to join the Knicks and try to revive his career.
Sunday marked his sixth appearance for his new team.
“I’m settling in,” said Sochan, his hair dyed a mixture of Knicks orange and blue. “It’s been chaotic for sure. It doesn’t help that it’s in season, so we’ve been traveling as well. Everyone has been welcoming — the owners and the players and the whole community. Everything has been positive.”
Like his basketball career, Sochan’s life remains in flux. He has been living out of two suitcases in Manhattan, with most of his belongings still stashed in San Antonio. His two dogs remain in the Alamo City as well.
“There’s definitely a life there still,” Sochan said.
That life, however, has moved on. Having fallen out of coach Mitch Johnson’s rotation in San Antonio, Sochan relocated to New York in hopes of proving his worth to the Knicks — and 28 other teams.
He is destined to become a free agent this summer.
“His presence has been great,” New York coach Mike Brown said. “He’s a fantastic human being. And the neat part about it? He’s 22. This is Year 4 for him. We feel there’s a lot there. He can be a really good player for us.”
Sochan hasn’t done much to make his mark with the Knicks so far, averaging 1.2 points and 1.3 rebounds in 6.5 minutes per appearance.
“I’m just trying to find my feet in this place,” Sochan said.
After three-plus seasons in San Antonio, Sochan said he is ready to embrace whatever the future holds — whether in New York or elsewhere.
“Life goes fast,” Sochan said. “You have to change the way you think and you have to accept it. I think I’ve accepted a new journey.”
Even in Knicks blue, Sochan remains intent on being himself.
An hour before tipoff Sunday, someone asked Sochan — one of the NBA’s most renowned pests — if there was anyone on the Spurs he was most looking forward to annoying during the game.
His answer proved prophetic enough.
“We’ll see,” Sochan said with a gap-toothed grin. “I’m gonna talk my (expletive) though.”
Harper starstruck in Garden debut
Growing up across the Hudson River in New Jersey, Spurs rookie Dylan Harper has attended dozens of Knicks games as a fan.
Sunday marked his first time at Madison Square Garden as an NBA player.
Harper said he was most starstruck by the row of famous faces seated courtside – celebrities like Ben Stiller, Larry David, Tracy Morgan and Michael Strahan.
“That was probably the biggest wow for me,” Harper said.
Harper had played at MSG once before in college, as his Rutgers squad faced Michigan State there last year.
His NBA Garden debut was middling. Harper finished with eight points and four assists in 22 minutes and committed two consecutive fouls against the Knicks’ Jalen Brunson on one critical first-quarter possession.
Embiid injured for showdown with Spurs
The Spurs will end their nine-game rodeo road trip Tuesday in Philadelphia against a 76ers team missing its biggest star.
Former MVP Joel Embiid has been ruled out with an oblique injury suffered Thursday against Miami.
The oft-injured Embiid is averaging 26 points in 33 games this season. He averaged 29 points in five games in February, tops in the Eastern Conference for the month.
