The Boston Celtics are acquiring guard Jaden Springer from the Philadelphia 76ers, ESPN reported Thursday.
Philadelphia will receive a second-round pick in exchange for Springer, per the report.
Springer, 21, averaged 4.0 points and 1.8 rebounds in 32 games (one start) for the 76ers this season.
In three NBA seasons — all with Philadelphia — Springer has averaged 3.4 points and 1.5 rebounds in 50 games (three starts). The Sixers selected him with the 28th overall pick in the 2021 draft.
ESPN also reported that Boston dealt guard Dalano Banton to the Portland Trail Blazers on Thursday.
