Spurs forward Jeremy Sochan will miss EuroBasket 2025 due to a calf injury sustained while training with the Polish national team, as confirmed by the Polish Basketball Federation.

The 22-year-old power forward reported discomfort in his calf, which has been deemed more serious than initially thought.

After consulting with medical staff, it was decided that Sochan should focus on rehabilitation rather than participating in the tournament.

Fortunately, the injury is not considered serious and is not expected to affect Sochan's participation in the upcoming NBA season with the San Antonio Spurs.

Despite missing EuroBasket, Sochan is expected to make a full recovery in time for the 2025-26 NBA season.

In a personal statement, Sochan expressed his disappointment about missing the tournament but remains optimistic about his recovery, expecting to be healthy for the NBA training camp in September.

He thanked his teammates, coaches, and fans for their support while expressing his desire to contribute to the national team.

Last season, Sochan averaged 11.4 points and 6.5 rebounds per game for the Spurs and is eligible for a contract extension before the season starts.

Negotiations for his rookie contract extension are upcoming, with the deadline set for the day before the regular season begins, and this injury may impact those discussions.

Spurs GM Brian Wright confirmed that Sochan received professional medical assistance in Poland and will return to San Antonio for continued recovery.

Lukasz Koszarek, director of the Polish national team, expressed disappointment over Sochan's absence, emphasizing his value to the squad with EuroBasket approaching.

This situation highlights the importance of addressing even minor injuries like calf strains to prevent further complications.
