Jeremy Sochan Secures 1 NBA Ring by Playing for Both Knicks and Spurs

5 articles · Updated · Fox News · Jun 1

23-year-old Jeremy Sochan is guaranteed a 2026 NBA championship ring because he appeared this season for both Finals teams, the New York Knicks and San Antonio Spurs.
Sochan opened the 2025-26 campaign with San Antonio before joining New York, where he has been used as an energy reserve during the Knicks' run to the Finals.
If the Knicks win, he would receive the ring as a current roster member; if the Spurs win, league custom suggests San Antonio would still honor his earlier-season contributions with championship jewelry.
The unusual setup leaves Sochan unable to lose the Finals personally, even as New York chases its first NBA title in 53 years.
