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.

Add Derrick White to the injury list!

Add Derrick White to the injury list! White is out definitely as he broke his second left toe against the Lakers this past Friday. This happened in the second quarter of the game when he fell.

Toe injuries are not the first time for White, actually this is his second time breaking his toe. Ironically, he broke this toe before. Yes, you are reading this correctly.

This past offseason, he had surgery on the same toe; which made him miss training camp, preseason, and the first four games of the NBA season. Now the team does say this is a different injury than what occurred when he needed surgery. It is being told that he fractured his toe this time around.

In that game-day loss, White only scored 9 points in 23 minutes.
