"Trail Blazers and Celtics Make Key Trades: Springer and Banton Swap Teams"

The Boston Celtics acquired wing Jaden Springer from the 76ers in exchange for a second-round pick. Springer, a former first-round pick, has played sparingly in the NBA but has shown promising defensive upside, particularly in preseason action against Boston. He was named G-League Finals MVP last year and has family ties to the NBA through his cousin, DeAndre’ Bembry, and his father, Gary, who was drafted by the Sixers but did not play due to knee injuries.
