Jeremy Sochan, Spurs forward, to undergo surgery for fractured left thumb

Sochan sustained a fracture of the proximal phalanx after colliding with a screen near the Clippers bench towards the end of the second quarter. He was forced to leave the game with 3 minutes and 31 seconds remaining in the first half and was unable to rejoin his teammates on the court.

San Antonio will update his status after the surgery.

The Spurs led by 26 points in the first quarter with Sochan on the court, but the Clippers rallied in the second half for the first victory in their new home, the Intuit Dome.

A third-year forward from Baylor, Sochan is averaging career highs in points (15.7) and rebounds (7.7).
