Karl-Anthony Towns responded with humor after learning about the New York Knicks‘ acquisition of Jeremy Sochan, a former forward for the San Antonio Spurs. Sochan’s move to the Knicks became official earlier this week following his release by the Spurs into free agency waivers, marking the end of his four-season tenure with the franchise. This signing is expected to add valuable versatility to the Knicks’ roster as they seek a stronger position in the playoffs.
Towns discovered the news through Sochan’s social media announcement, prompting a playful reaction from the veteran player.
No way this how I find out 😂😂😂,

What Jeremy Sochan Brings to the Knicks
Jeremy Sochan will bring his multifaceted skills and experience to the New York Knicks, who aim to improve their depth on the forward position. Over four seasons with San Antonio, Sochan demonstrated strong playmaking abilities. In 212 games, he averaged 10.4 points, 5.6 rebounds, and 2.6 assists per contest, shooting 46.8% from the field, including 28.7% from three-point range, and 72.3% on free throws.
This season, Sochan’s court time was limited as younger and more established players such as Devin Vassell, Julian Champagnie, Harrison Barnes, and rookie Carter Bryant received more minutes in the rotation. Moving to the Knicks offers Sochan an opportunity to contribute more significantly, especially in a role that values versatility and playmaking off the bench.
Knicks’ Position in the Eastern Conference as Sochan Joins
Currently, the New York Knicks hold a 35-20 record, sitting third in the Eastern Conference standings. They lead the Cleveland Cavaliers by one game and the Toronto Raptors by three, while trailing the Boston Celtics by just half a game and the Detroit Pistons by six games. This competitive position makes Sochan’s addition timely as the team eyes a deeper playoff run.
The Knicks are paused for the All-Star Weekend but plan to reignite their campaign with a home game against the Detroit Pistons on February 19 at 7:30 p.m. ET. Sochan’s arrival adds to the team’s hope and depth as the postseason approaches.
