Overview
- The Trail Blazers requested waivers on Jeremy Sochan on Saturday, October 17, 2026, officially removing him from their training‑camp roster.
- If no team claims him during the standard waiver window Sochan will become an unrestricted free agent on Monday and will be free to sign elsewhere.
- Sochan was signed on a non‑guaranteed Exhibit 9 camp deal, a short‑term contract that teams can either convert to a standard deal or waive during roster cutdowns.
- He averaged roughly 12 minutes and 6.0 points per game while shooting 62.5 percent across Portland’s four preseason games, but the team chose not to convert his contract.
- Sochan is a former No. 9 pick who spent three-plus seasons with the Spurs and won a title with the Knicks, and his size and versatility make him a likely target for other teams even as Portland starts the season with 17 players under contract.
