Derrick White Signs Four-Year Extension With Celtics

According to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, the Boston Celtics continue to check things off their to-do list by extending Derrick White. His new contract will keep him in Boston until the age of 34.

White is officially signing a four-year, $125.9 million deal with a player option attached. He was seen as a big piece to get re-signed due to him being in the final year of his contract.

The $125.9 million they gave White was the max amount of money they had available, at least at this current time. White joins Kristaps Porzingis, Jrue Holiday, and Jaylen Brown as players given extensions. It’s expected Jayson Tatum will receive one as well before summer is over.

One of the most clutch players in the NBA, now reigning champion, averaged 15.2 points, 4.2 rebounds, and 5.2 assists in 73 games played.

Derrick White: “It Would Be Cool To Get An Extension”

Derrick White: “It Would Be Cool To Get An Extension”

Derrick White has only been with the Boston Celtics for a year and a half, but he’s ready to be here for the foreseeable future and grow their “relationship”.

“I love being here in Boston. It would be cool to get an extension,” White said. “We’ll see what happens during that window, but I’ve loved my time in Boston so far and my focus right now is just on the season.”

With Marcus Smart gone, White is expected to get a larger role with the team. So much so that he wants an extension, which would be great for both sides.

His on-ball presence will be increased as White could be their primary point guard.

“I’m looking forward to it,” White said about the change in his role. “I’ll definitely have the ball in my hands, more of a playmaker role, and I’m looking forward to grow with the team and just get us in the right position each and every time.”

The 29-year-old played all 82 games last season averaging 12.4 points and 3.9 assists per game.

Derrick White DONE for the season due to ankle issues!

Derrick White DONE for the season due to ankle issues! With the NBA Season coming to an end within the next week or two, the Spurs have officially announced that Derrick White is done for the season with an ankle sprain to his right ankle. The injury happened yesterday against the Wizards, a game that the Spurs did win.

This is not White’s first injury of the season because he was originally sidelined due to a toe injury, that cost him roughly 18 games. The guard will be replaced by the rookie, Devin Vassell, until next season it is looking like.

Currently, the Spurs and Grizzlies are tied with the same record at the 8-9th seed. Either team could be in the play-in tournament, and Popovich could take his team back to the playoff after a long drought these past few years. Really after Tim Duncan left.
