Pelicans' Jaden Springer: Dealing with ankle sprain

Springer sat out Friday's 107-97 preseason win over Melbourne United with a left ankle sprain.

This is a new injury for Springer, as he was healthy at the start of training camp. Springer is on an Exhibit 9 deal and hoping to claim a roster spot with the Pelicans. Across 110 career regular-season games, Springer holds averages of 2.9 points, 1.4 rebounds and 0.8 assists in 8.8 minutes.
