Overview
- The Pelicans officially signed guard Jaden Springer on Thursday, though the financial terms of his contract remain undisclosed.
- Springer became a free agent this offseason after Utah waived him following a two-year deal agreed in March.
- A late first-round pick in 2021, he has moved from the 76ers to Boston’s championship team, then to Houston and Utah without finding a long-term role.
- Last season with the Jazz he logged 3.8 points, 2.0 rebounds and 1.4 assists in 17 appearances, with a season-high 11 points against Charlotte on March 31.
- New Orleans’ move to preserve an open slot until training camp reflects Joe Dumars’ approach to balancing roster flexibility and player development.
