For the first time in weeks, Philadelphia 76ers’ sophomore guard Jaden Springer took the floor for an actual basketball game. For a couple of weeks, the Sixers were significantly short-handed and could’ve used Springer’s services as the backcourt lacked depth, but the former first-round pick was among those who were injured.
While practicing with the Sixers’ G League affiliate, the Delaware Blue Coats, Springer suffered a quad strain. As a result, he was ruled out for at least one week. Springer wasn’t cleared to return after getting re-evaluated. The young guard ended up going inactive for nine-straight Sixers games.
