The New York Knicks have been up and down with results lately, recently falling back into the loss column with a road defeat at the hands of the Oklahoma City Thunder.
One player who has been underwhelming thus far in his New York tenure is forward Jeremy Sochan, who was signed by the team following his release from the San Antonio Spurs.
Sochan signed a one-year, $806,628 contract this offseason with the franchise for the 2025-26 season, according to Spotrac.
The forward has long been known for his colorful hairstyles, which at certain times mirrored the orange and blue colors of the Knicks themselves. However, a newly unearthed photo ahead of New York’s game against the Houston Rockets on Tuesday has revealed a different new look for the forward.
Jeremy Sochan hasn’t impressed with performances since joining Knicks
Jeremy Sochan hasn’t performed particularly well during his tenure with the Knicks, not having appeared in a game since March 22 despite being fully healthy.
When he’s on his game, Sochan provides the New York Knicks with another versatile defender who can get out in transition and wreak havoc on both ends of the floor.
However, it seems that New York head coach Mike Brown is content with running with the guys who have been there all season, along with trade acquisition Jose Alverado, for the stretch run of the campaign.
The team currently sit in third place in the East, multiple games behind the Celtics despite Boston’s loss against the Atlanta Hawks on Monday.
It would take quite a bit for New York to catch up to Boston at this point in the season; however, homecourt advantage didn’t end up mattering when the Knicks beat the Celtics in last year’s Eastern Conference semifinals.
