Sochan to join Knicks after clearing waivers

Jeremy Sochan will sign with the New York Knicks once the former San Antonio Spurs forward clears waivers, his agent told ESPN's Shams Charania.

Sochan, whom the Spurs cut Wednesday, will sign with New York for the rest of the season, according to Charania.

The former ninth overall pick chose the Knicks after receiving interest from 10 teams.

Sochan averaged 10.4 points, 5.6 rebounds, and 2.6 assists in 212 games over three-and-a-half years in San Antonio but had fallen out of the rotation entirely this season. He didn't see the floor in 19 of his last 31 games with the Spurs and played just 7.5 minutes on average during that span.

San Antonio reportedly attempted to find a new home for Sochan at the trade deadline before deciding to release the 22-year-old.
