Top Derrick White News

  • Celtics' Derrick White: Quiet in Game 6 loss

    White accumulated eight points (3-11 FG, 2-8 3Pt), one rebound, two assists and one steal over 30 minutes during Friday's 119-81 loss to New York in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.

    White saved his worst for last, joining his teammates by putting up arguably the Celtics' most disappointing performance of the season. Despite the rough ending, it was another strong season for White, who demonstrated his elite two-way skills while averaging 16.4 points, 4.5 rebounds, 4.8 assists, 0.9 steals, 1.1 blocks and 3.5 three-pointers. With Jayson Tatum set to miss a sizeable chunk of the 2025-26 season due to an Achilles injury, White's importance to this team can't be overstated.

  • Celtics' Derrick White: Shines in win over New York

    White ended Wednesday's 127-102 victory over the Knicks in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals with 34 points (9-16 FG, 7-13 3Pt, 9-11 FT), three rebounds, two assists and three blocks in 40 minutes.

    This was the first game without Jayson Tatum (Achilles) for the Celtics, and even though Jaylen Brown was widely expected to step up, it was White who ended up leading the team in scoring. His growth during the current postseason run has been impressive to watch, and it wouldn't be surprising if he continues to have a steady role as a premier scoring option for Boston solely based on the defensive matchups. White is averaging 22.6 points per game in the current series against New York while shooting 45.2 percent from the floor and 42.1 percent from beyond the arc.

  • Celtics' Derrick White: Puts up 23 points in loss

    White supplied 23 points (6-12 FG, 6-11 3Pt, 5-7 FT), three rebounds and two assists in 44 minutes during Monday's 121-113 loss to New York in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.

    White was one of the top players for the Celtics in this matchup, and the guard continued an impressive stretch since he's surpassed the 15-point mark in each of his four outings of the series thus far. If Jayson Tatum (lower leg) ends up missing time due to the injury he sustained in Game 4, White could be in line to have an even bigger role on offense.

  • Celtics' Derrick White: Scores 17 in Game 3 win

    White accumulated 17 points (6-10 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal across 34 minutes during Saturday's 115-93 win over the Knicks in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.

    Jayson Tatum and Payton Pritchard led the way for the Celtics in this huge road win at Madison Square Garden, but White posted a solid stat line as well. The veteran guard continues to make an impact on both ends of the court and is averaging 18.7 points, 8.3 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 1.7 blocks per game in the series ahead of Game 4 on Monday.

  • Celtics' Derrick White: Drops 20 points in Game 2

    White closed Wednesday's 91-90 loss to the Knicks in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals with 20 points (6-17 FG, 3-11 3Pt, 5-5 FT), nine rebounds, five assists and two blocks across 40 minutes.

    After logging a 19-point, 11-rebound double-double in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals, White fell one board short of another double-double Wednesday. White averaged 12.6 field goal attempts per game during the regular season, but he's now taken at least 17 shots in back-to-back games. White tied for the team high in points and didn't commit a turnover.

  • Celtics' Derrick White: Double-doubles in loss

    White ended with 19 points (6-18 FG, 5-16 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 11 rebounds, two assists and two blocks across 44 minutes during Monday's 108-105 overtime loss to the Knicks in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.

    White recorded a double-double for the first time during these NBA playoffs, making his presence felt in the scoring column as well as on the glass. The defensive-minded guard has been a solid contributor for the defending NBA champions during the postseason, averaging 17.5 points, 5.8 rebounds, 4.3 assists, and 1.0 blocks per game, shooting 46.9 percent from the floor and 34.5 percent from beyond the arc.

  • Celtics' Derrick White: Regresses in victory

    White closed Tuesday's 120-89 win over the Magic in Game 5 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs with five points (2-6 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds, five assists and one steal across 31 minutes.

    White was enjoying a prolific series, but the offense didn't flow his way in Game 5. The guard was limited to just six shot attempts, marking his second-lowest total of the season. He continued to post decent secondary numbers. White has scored in the single digits only 10 times this season, so the downturn should be considered an outlier compared to his usual production.

  • Celtics' Derrick White: Fills up stat sheet in win

    White closed Sunday's 107-98 victory over the Magic in Game 4 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs with 18 points (7-11 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-3 FT), seven rebounds, seven assists and one block over 39 minutes.

    White continues to prove why he's one of the most versatile guards in the NBA today, as he helped Boston take a commanding 3-1 series lead Sunday with an impressive all-around performance. The 30-year-old veteran dished out a game-high seven assists while helping shoulder the backcourt load in Jrue Holiday's (hamstring) absence for a second straight game.

  • Celtics' Derrick White: Scores 17 points in Game 2 win

    White posted 17 points (6-14 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, five assists and one steal over 38 minutes during Wednesday's 109-100 victory over the Magic in Game 2 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

    White, who stepped up in the absence of Jayson Tatum (wrist), started slow in this game before knocking down a pair of clutch three-pointers in the fourth quarter to keep Orlando at bay. White has been terrific in the postseason with 23.5 points, 5.0 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 1.0 steals, 1.0 blocks and 5.0 three-pointers.

  • Celtics' Derrick White: Drops 30 points in Game 1 win

    White logged 30 points (10-18 FG, 7-12 3Pt, 3-3 FT), four rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one steal over 36 minutes during Sunday's 103-86 victory over Orlando in Game 1 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

    White was fantastic in the Game 1 victory while recording a team-high scoring figure. Both Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown were far from their best, while Kristaps Porzingis also struggled on the offensive end. White took it upon himself to shoulder the bulk of the scoring load, an indication of how much he has improved in that capacity over the past couple of years. The Celtics will look to take a 2-0 series lead when the two teams meet again in Boston on Wednesday.

  • Celtics' Derrick White: Good to go Sunday

    White (neck) is not on the Celtics' injury report ahead of Game 1 against the Magic on Sunday, John Karalis of BostonSportsJournal.com reports.

    Ankle and neck injuries caused White to be sidelined for two of the final three games of the regular season, but the eighth-year guard out of Colorado has been cleared to play Sunday. White connected on 39.5 percent of his three-point attempts since the All-Star break, and over that span he averaged 17.1 points, 5.8 assists, 5.0 rebounds, 1.2 steals and 0.9 blocks over 34.3 minutes per game.

  • Celtics' Derrick White: Expected to play Sunday

    White (neck) is expected to play in the postseason.

    White missed two of Boston's final three regular-season games, first due to an ankle issue and then a minor neck sprain. Across 76 regular-season appearances, White averaged 16.4 points, 4.8 assists, 4.5 rebounds, 1.1 blocks and 0.9 steals in 33.9 minutes per game.

  • Celtics' Derrick White: Sitting out regular-season finale

    White won't play in Sunday's game versus the Hornets due to a right neck sprain.

    White's neck injury is new, so it's unclear if it will impact him going forward. Payton Pritchard and Baylor Scheierman will likely receive increased playing time in his absence. White's next chance to suit up will come during Boston's playoff opener.

  • Celtics' Derrick White: Good to go Friday

    White (ankle) isn't on the injury report for Friday's game versus the Hornets, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.

    White is set to play Friday after missing Boston's previous contest due to a left ankle issue. However, with the Celtics already locked into the second seed in the Eastern Conference, it wouldn't be surprising for their starters to play reduced minutes.

  • Celtics' Derrick White: Teases triple-double at MSG

    White had 14 points (5-14 FG, 4-12 3Pt), eight rebounds, nine assists and one steal in 43 minutes during Tuesday's 119-117 overtime victory over the Knicks.

    The Celtics went with an eight-man rotation Tuesday that became seven when Jaylen Brown sat out the entire fourth quarter and OT, but White was up to shouldering a larger workload than usual. The veteran guard has drained multiple three-pointers in 14 straight appearances, averaging 15.7 points, 6.6 assists, 5.6 boards, 3.5 threes, 1.0 steals and 1.0 blocks over that span.

  • Celtics' Derrick White: Sitting out Wednesday

    White will not play Wednesday against Orlando due to a left ankle issue, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.

    This is likely a maintenance day for White on the second leg of a back-to-back set -- Jayson Tatum (ankle), Kristaps Porzingis (rest), Al Horford (knee) and Jrue Holiday (shoulder) are all being held out, while Jaylen Brown (knee) is questionable. During Tuesday's overtime win versus the Knicks, White had 14 points (5-14 FG, 4-12 3Pt), eight rebounds, nine assists and one steal in 43 minutes.
