The San Antonio Spurs picked up a big win over the New York Knicks on Friday night, but it wasn’t all sunshine and rainbows. Jeremy Sochan injured his ankle in the first half of the game and didn’t play in the second half. Unfortunately, this injury could hold him out for the remainder of the season.
Tom Osborn of the San Antonio Express-News dove into Sochan’s official injury designation, as he was listed as dealing with an “ankle impingement.” According to the NBA.com definition that Osborn dug up, an ankle impingement “is a condition that causes a painful limitation of ankle range of motion due to a soft-tissue or bony abnormality.”
This is the type of thing that could force Sochan to miss multiple weeks of action, and considering there are only eight games left in the Spurs’ season, he may not return to action this year.
That’s a huge blow to a Spurs team that has found a rhythm over the course of the past week.
