Jaden Springer has been back and forth between the Delaware Blue Coats and the Philadelphia Sixers over a dozen times this season.
Tuesday night’s contest, however, felt like the first time we’ve actually gotten to see what Springer is capable of on an NBA court. It was just against an undermanned Detroit Pistons team, but it was the best glimpse we’ve gotten all season nonetheless.
With the Sixers up comfortably, Springer was subbed in for his first chance at some real playing time. Like a man on an eight-minute-and-43-second mission, the guard had 10 points, two rebounds, and a steal.
