Jeremy Sochan did not suit up on Monday for the San Antonio Spurs, but the ninth pick still managed to find a way to make some headlines versus the Houston Rockets.
Sochan was ruled out of playing with the Spurs in the Las Vegas Summer League after reportedly testing positive for the coronavirus. He missed the Spurs’ week-long training camp and the team opted to hold him out of action as a precautionary measure.
He has since been cleared from the health and safety protocol and has been with the team in Las Vegas during various activities. He was on the bench as the Spurs faced the Rockets at the Thomas & Mack Center and hilariously had a few words for TyTy Washington Jr.
This video of a mic'd up Spurs rookie Jeremy Sochan talking trash to Rockets rookie TyTy Washington during Summer League is so funny.
"Hey, TyTy. They ain't going to pass it to you!"
I asked Sochan if opponents were ever caught off-guard by his accent: https://t.co/fOO8yRjh2t pic.twitter.com/eVglx4wYVO

Of course, the trash talk from Sochan is all in good fun. The two are cool with each other off the court and that resulted in a nice back and forth. Washington, afterward, even called him out a little bit for not being on the court.
While Sochan had some fun with Washington, the Rockets had the last laugh after picking up the 97-84 victory. Washington had eight points, four assists, three steals and two rebounds in 24 minutes of work in his third game in Las Vegas.
