According to a report from Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN, the Sixers are trading third-year guard Jaden Springer to the Boston Celtics in exchange for a second-round pick.
According to Keith Pompey of the Philadelphia Inquirer, the Sixers will receive the more favorable of New Orleans' and Chicago's second-round pick in the upcoming 2024 NBA Draft — a pick that is currently projected to land at No. 41 overall.
Springer, who excelled in his first start of the season Wednesday night in a loss to the Warriors, has quickly proven to be a tremendous defensive player. The third-year guard must become a better offensive player to be a viable rotation piece in the long-term, but the Celtics have a history of developing players who are similarly gifted athletically.
The Sixers now have three open roster spots.
