NBA – On fire without Wembanyama, Jeremy Sochan honest about his injury: “It’s weird”

Excellent against the Mavericks this Saturday evening, Jeremy Sochan took advantage of the absence of Victor Wembanyama to highlight himself.

A renewed confidence for the interior, honest when talking about his teammate’s injury.

Despite a heavy defeat against the Mavericks, some Spurs players produced an interesting performance.

We can mention the 23 points, 9 rebounds and 4 assists from Jeremy Sochan, author of a completely solid match.

Bonus ? A 4/6 on 3-point shooting. The interior had fun… without the presence of Victor Wembanyama, injured during the warm-up.

Jeremy Sochan disappointed for Wembanyama

Despite this great performance, the Spurs were unable to take the victory.

Difficult to win without their best player, even if Luka Doncic was undoubtedly too strong this Saturday evening.

The disappointment is real in San Antonio, especially with this injury to Victor during the warm-up.

This is what Sochan explained to the media after what happened.

Sochan on Wemby's freak injury: "It’s a weird one. You never really see that. We were just hoping he was good. I know he was getting it tested before the game, and I agree with Pop, there is no need to risk something that he already kind of hurt before recently."

Sochan on Wemby injury:

“It’s weird. You never really see something like that. We just hoped he was okay. I know he tested himself before the match, and I agree with Pop, there is no need to take a risk especially since he had already been injured there before.”

We now expect news from Wembanyama in the coming days, although he is not expected to miss any more matches.

Remember that he was able to finish the warm-up in the end, but Popovich refused to play him despite everything. We understand that this decision caused controversy.

Jeremy Sochan agrees with Gregg Popovich: there is no question of taking a risk regarding an injury.

Especially when we talk about Victor Wembanyama. A real disappointment for the Frenchman, especially since all this was avoidable.
