San Antonio Spurs forward Jeremy Sochan will have surgery to fix a fractured left thumb that he injured on Monday night during a loss to the Los Angeles Clippers.
Sochan fractured the proximal phalanx after running into a screen near the Clippers’ bench late in the second quarter. He left the game with 3:31 left in the first half and did not return.
The Spurs will provide an update on his condition after the surgery.
San Antonio was leading by 26 points in the first quarter while Sochan was on the court, but the Clippers came back in the second half to earn their first win in their new home, the Intuit Dome.
Sochan, a third-year forward from Baylor, is currently averaging career highs with 15.7 points and 7.7 rebounds per game.
