Jeremy Sochan’s calf injury in Poland will sideline him from EuroBasket this year. The Polish Basketball Federation announced the setback, and Sochan confirmed the disappointment, stressing that doctors expect him to be fully healthy by the start of the NBA season preparation camp. He’s headed back to San Antonio to continue recovery, with Spurs officials underscoring that the best option is to ramp up in Texas. Sochan, 22, averaged 11.4 points and 6.5 rebounds last season and remains extension-eligible heading into a pivotal sophomore year.
The Poland roster featured one full-time NBA player in Sochan, with the broader story tying his Polish heritage to national-team ties. While he won’t wear Poland’s colors in EuroBasket, his return to Spurs camp will shape his role and fantasy outlook for 2025-26. If he’s cleared for camp, expect a quick restoration of his versatile wing/forward duties and a path to impactful counting stats as San Antonio looks to build around his developing two-way game.
In fantasy terms, Sochan’s absence from international play reduces one potential fatigue risk but also deprives him of early-season experience against top European competition. A healthy Sochan could push for a larger role, especially on rebounds, transition, and defensive versatility. His extension eligibility keeps him an intriguing value proposition as the season nears, assuming a smooth rehab and timely ramp to full health.
