Jaden Springer stepped foot into Roxbury for the first time on Monday afternoon, after a lengthy practice session that centered on technique and execution. The 21-year-old, who was traded to Boston last month from Philadelphia, is still getting acclimated to the city but has liked what he’s experienced in the early days.
“It’s a great city so far. I’ve been here a few weeks now,” Springer said. “Great people, great energy. Still trying to go out and see more, but so far, it’s been amazing.”
On Monday, Springer was the featured guest at the unveiling of a multi-purpose room at the Hawthorne Youth and Community Center.
