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.

Al Horford Wants To Continue Playing Basketball

According to the man himself, Al Horford wants to continue playing basketball in the National Basketball Association. Something that was on everyone’s mind after seeing him win his first career championship Monday night.

When asked how many more years he wanted to play, the 38-year-old never committed to a set number. Horford says as long as he’s healthy and still enjoying it, he will continue playing.

“For me, I never really put a timeframe on it,” Horford told ESPN. “I want to make sure that I feel healthy, that I’m enjoying what I’m doing and for me, thankfully, I have my wife’s support and my family’s. That’s a big deal to me. … I feel like I’ve been asked this for a few years now and I feel good, I want to keep playing. Why not keep going? I don’t want to limit myself.”

He has one year left on his contract with the Boston Celtics.
