Jeremy Sochan’s tenure with the Knicks has come to an end.
Sochan, 23, agreed to a one-year deal with the Trail Blazers on Saturday, ESPN reported.
The exact details of the forward’s contract with Portland have yet to be released.

Sochan’s deal with the Trail Blazers comes after a brief and disappointing Knicks tenure, in which he averaged just 2.8 points and 2.1 rebounds in 6.9 minutes through 16 regular-season games.

He did not see much action during the Knicks’ historic championship run, either, averaging just 3.3 minutes through eight postseason games.
The Knicks picked up Sochan in February two days following the Spurs’ decision to waive him after he fell out of the rotation in San Antonio.
Outside of last season, Sochan has had an impactful NBA tenure since being drafted by the Spurs with the No. 9 pick in 2022.

Through his first three NBA seasons, Sochan averaged 11.4 points, 6.1 rebounds and 2.8 assists while shooting 46.8 percent from the field, earning All-Rookie second-team honors for the 2022-23 season.

Despite not being in the Knicks’ rotation during their Finals run, Sochan was valuable with his inside knowledge of the Spurs.
“Whether I’m playing or not, it’s important to feed all the information I have,” Sochan told The Post’s Jared Schwartz in June. “And I think I know quite a lot. I’m watching their games now, I’m seeing the old plays we [ran], when they go up to certain people and at what times, it’s pretty obvious to see. It’s gonna be interesting.”
Sochan also shared the knowledge he had on San Antonio star Victor Wembanyama and his potential weaknesses.
“Being that tall [Wembanyama] gets tired,” Sochan said. “Give him different looks and [not beat him up but] be very physical, and make him run.
“And he’s gonna get tired, he’s gonna have to take some plays off in my opinion.”
