Sixers’ Jaden Springer leads Blue Coats over Nets to reach G League finals
While the Philadelphia 76ers were having a tough time with the Milwaukee Bucks on Sunday night, their G League affiliate had another big night in the G League playoffs.
The Delaware Blue Coats knocked off the Long Island Nets on the road on Sunday night 108-94 to reach the G League finals. Second-year guard Jaden Springer led the way with 21 points, 16 rebounds, and three blocks while Louis King, who’s on a two-way deal with the Sixers, had 20 points and five assists.
Springer shot only 8-for-22 from the floor, but he was able to get his points and the young Sixers guard was able to help guide the Blue Coats to a big playoff win.
