Injured in a thumb, San Antonio Spurs power forward Jeremy Sochan is expected to undergo surgery in the coming days, according to ESPN. If the duration of unavailability of Victor Wembanyama‘s teammate is not yet known, it remains certain that it will be counted in weeks. The winger was injured during his team’s defeat against the Los Angeles Clippers (113-104), on the night of Monday to Tuesday after only 12 minutes played.
A setback for the San Antonio Spurs but especially for the American-Polish who had a more than convincing start to the season, scoring on average four points more than the previous season (for similar playing time), with a rebound average also up.
A major absence for the Texan franchise which has a record of three victories for four defeats at the start of the season and must already cope without the presence of its historic coach, Gregg Popovich, on rest due to health problems, he who recently celebrated its 75th anniversary.
Victor Wembanyama’s troops will be back on the floor this Wednesday for a Texan derby in Houston, the opportunity to come back to match their evening opponent in the event of victory.
