Springer posted one point (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds and one assist over six minutes in Thursday's 122-102 win at Washington.
After receiving a DNP-Coach's Decision on Opening Night, Springer saw some garbage time late in Boston's smackdown of the Wizards. At this point, Springer is fortunate to have a roster spot and is probably the first man out should Boston decide to make a roster change.
Springer will return to a reserve role in Sunday's regular-season finale versus the Wizards, Sean Grande of NBC Sports Boston reports.
The Celtics are resting all their regular starters ahead of the playoffs, so Springer figures to still see a healthier workload than usual off the bench. He posted 11 points, six rebounds, four assists and three steals in 25 minutes as a starter during Friday's blowout win over the Hornets.

Celtics' Jaden Springer: Makes brief cameo in return
Rotowire
Springer (knee) recorded one steal and turned the ball over once in 37 seconds of court time in Sunday's 124-107 win over the Trail Blazers.
Cleared to play after missing the Celtics' previous five games with left knee tendinopathy, Springer got off the bench early in the contest, entering with 37.1 seconds remaining in the opening period. He stole the ball from Dalano Banton with 30 seconds left in the quarter but immediately gave the ball back to Portland on a bad pass before being replaced at the start of the second quarter. The Celtics were at full strength Sunday aside from Jayson Tatum (ankle) sitting out, so the team will likely need to be without multiple other key rotation pieces before Springer gets a chance to see more meaningful playing time.

Celtics' Jaden Springer: Chips in for shorthanded rotation
Rotowire
Springer provided six points (2-5 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, four assists and two blocks over 22 minutes during Monday's 119-94 win over the Pistons.
Combining his tenures with Philadelphia and Boston this season, Monday's game marked Springer's ninth instance of logging 20-plus minutes. Such usage could become a more normal occurrence moving forward, however, with Boston firmly in control of the top seed in the Eastern Conference. The 21-year-old is averaging 8.2 points, 3.9 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 1.6 steals while knocking down 49.1 percent of his shots across the aforementioned contests.

Celtics' Jaden Springer: Gets mop-up duty in win
Rotowire
Springer snagged one steal over two minutes during Boston's 121-99 win Monday night in Portland.
Springer played the final three minutes after Boston's victory was well in hand. Since he arrived at the trade deadline, Springer has appeared in only seven contests for Boston and is averaging a meager three minutes per appearance. Over that same period, Dalano Banton, the player traded to make room for Springer, has shined with Portland. Banton has averaged 13.5 points over 23 minutes per game for the Trail Blazers. That said, Springer's acquisition was done with an eye to the future, while Banton is playing on a Portland team struggling with multiple injuries. Springer has one more year remaining on this rookie contract and will be a RFA in 2025-26.
