Folding Eastern European Eagles! Spurs star Sohan is injured in the European Championship, Poland s dream breaks moment

San Antonio Spurs forward Jeremy Sohan suffered a calf injury during training with the Polish national team and will miss the upcoming 2025 European Basketball Championship, a setback that disappointed both Sohan and Polish basketball.

The 22-year-old was supposed to be the core player of Poland's European Championships, especially less than three weeks before the game started. But after a recent training, Suohan reported calf pain to the team doctor. Follow-up examinations showed he needed immediate rest and recovery, which actually prevented him from participating in the competition. In a sincere statement issued by the Polish Basketball Federation, Sohan expressed frustration at the timing of his injury. He said: "I am very disappointed, but due to a calf injury, I will not be able to represent Poland in the European Championships this year. I have been working on this for the past few months and the time to train and play with the national team is very good. It is a special team and I am really looking forward to being one of them. Fortunately, the doctor expects that I will fully recover before the start of the training camp for the new NBA season. I want to thank my teammates, coaches and the entire staff, especially the Polish fans for their support. I am very grateful that while I can't fight alongside you, I will support Poland with all my heart. "

This is a heavy blow to this player who has always been proud of representing Poland in international competitions.

Last Sunday, representatives of the Polish national team, Spurs management, Sohan's family and his agent held a meeting to discuss the best plan. They agreed that returning to San Antonio for recovery was the most cautious option.

national team director Lukash Kozarek praised Sohan's contribution and expressed regret for his absence. "The injury is not serious, but less than three weeks before the start of the European Championship, time is very tight. Jeremy is a very important part of our team, he has a good relationship with all the players and staff, and we are very sorry that his cooperation with the national team has ended so quickly this summer. "

Spurs general manager Brian Wright also expressed the same mood, emphasizing the strong cooperative relationship between the Spurs and the Polish Basketball Association. "In this case, Jeremy's return to San Antonio is the best option," Wright said, noting that the decision was based on long-term health concerns for the players.

Poland, as the co-sponsor of Group D, will face France, Slovenia, Israel, Belgium and Iceland in Katowice. The Polish team with Sohan could have had an all-around forward who can defend multiple positions, organize attacks and motivate the team. Without him, the team needs to find new ways to fill this void.

Sohan's absence also changed the emotional atmosphere of the team. He is known for his fiery competitive spirit and colorful personality and has always been the cohesion force in the locker room. His withdrawal means that Poland has lost not only a skilled player, but also a leader who has performed well in high pressure moments.

The good news for Spurs fans is that Sohan's recovery schedule shows that he will fully recover before the start of NBA training camp. The young forward, who is about to enter his fourth season of his career, averaged double points per game, with more than 6 rebounds and showed the ability of a defensive elite scorer.

Spurs are building a roster around rising star Victor Vinbanyama, who sees Sohan as an important part of the future. His defensive comprehensiveness, organizational ability and growing offensive confidence make him an important part of San Antonio's long-term plan.

While Poland will continue to move forward in the absence of one of the most dazzling stars, Sohan is now focusing entirely on recovery and preparing for another challenging NBA season. Although he won't be on the European Championship field, his statement shows one thing: his heart will be with his teammates, and his eyes will focus on the day when he puts on the red and white national team jersey again.
