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.
