The Portland Trail Blazers have waived forward Jeremy Sochan ahead of the regular-season opener, ending his brief stint with the team after signing a non-guaranteed deal in August. The 23-year-old appeared in all four preseason games and showed efficient shooting, but did not secure a roster spot. Portland’s roster stands at 17 players, including three on two-way contracts, and Sochan will become an unrestricted free agent if he goes unclaimed on waivers. A former ninth overall pick, Sochan played for San Antonio and New York during the 2025-26 season and won an NBA championship with the Knicks.

Mexico City has emerged as a possible alternative, with a group proposing a team and new arena district, though the league has not committed to a second expansion franchise or a timeline.

Arizona suspends Turf Paradise teletrack permit

Arizona regulators suspended Turf Paradise operator Skyfall 7’s wagering permit after a property dispute cut off access to the track and left it without the personnel needed to run wagering at the venue and off-track sites. The suspension disrupts preparations for the planned live-racing season, though the track’s live-racing permit remains in place and regulators will review the matter at a November hearing.
