Springer, who played collegiately at the University of Tennessee, was a late first round pick by the Philadelphia 76ers in the 2021 draft. He's played with the 76ers, Boston Celtics and most recently with the Utah Jazz. He was a member of the Celtics’ championship team in the 2023-’24 season after being traded to Boston from Philly.

Jaden Springer has found a new home one week after being released by the Utah Jazz. The former Celtics guard has signed a contract with the New Orleans Pelicans, the team announced. The terms of the deal were not released, but it’s safe to assume it’s for a league minimum deal heading into training camp this fall.

The New Orleans Pelicans offseason hasn’t been looked upon fondly by most NBA fans, writers, prognosticators, etc. Kevin Pelton of ESPN gave them an F in his offseason grades, the only team that received that failing grade.
