Jaden Springer on being traded: “I was kinda shocked. I wasn’t expecting that, but I didn’t really think about it too much. It happened. I was OK with moving on to the next thing. I’m here now and that’s what I’m really focused on.” #Sixers sixerswire.usatoday.com/2024/02/27/jad… via @SixersWire – 6:48 PM
