Just one day after the Celtics traded Jaden Springer to the Houston Rockets, the 22-year-old guard will need to find a new home. Multiple reports indicate that the Rockets have elected to waive Springer after officially completing the trade with Boston on Thursday morning.

The Boston Celtics swung a trade ahead of Thursday's deadline, reportedly sending backup guard Jaden Springer to the Houston Rockets in a salary dump.

The Boston Celtics traded guard Jaden Springer to the Houston Rockets, parting ways with the 23-year-old wing defender just a year after acquiring him at last season's trade deadline. The Celtics received a conditional 2031 second-round pick in the deal and will send a 2030 second-round pick and conditional 2027 second-round pick to the Rockets.

The Celtics will need to fill one of those spots in the next two weeks to bring their roster back up to the league minimum with 14 players. Team president of basketball operations Brad Stevens shed some light on the team’s plans after a quiet day on Thursday.

A day after trading Jaden Springer, the Celtics again meet the requirement of having 14 players on standard contracts, signing a player at their primary position of need.

Throughout the season, it's been clear the Celtics are short on wing depth. They lost Oshae Brissett and Svi Mykhailiuk during the summer. Sam Hauser's issues with lower back spams have showcased the Celtics need to add another wing before the postseason arrives.
