Derrick White News, Rumors, Updates - Boston Celtics

Hits four threes Friday White posted 18 points (6-10 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, five assists and a steal across 25 minutes in Friday's 119-80 win over the Hornets.

Impact White delivered an efficient performance despite limited playing time, connecting on a season-high four three-pointers and dishing out at least five assists for a second consecutive outing. His 25-minute cameo was his second-shortest outing of the season, but it came because of Boston's commanding advantage, so fantasy managers shouldn't worry too much. Despite the reduced workload, White maintained strong fantasy production, and his combination of perimeter shooting, playmaking and defensive contributions continues to provide a reliable foundation.

Delivers 24 points White notched 24 points (7-18 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 9-9 FT), four rebounds, seven assists, a steal and two blocks across 35 minutes in Wednesday's 109-102 win over the Bucks.

Impact White overcame a difficult perimeter shooting performance by converting all nine free-throw attempts while adding seven assists and three combined defensive stats. His 36-minute workload and substantial offensive involvement were encouraging, particularly after a relatively quiet outing against Orlando in his previous game. White's combination of playmaking, defensive production and scoring opportunities continues to support a dependable fantasy ceiling, and he should remain one of Boston's go-to players on offense, although a step or two below the likes of Jayson Tatum and Paul George.

Scores 12 points Sunday White registered 12 points (4-8 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, two assists and two steals across 34 minutes in Sunday's 108-97 win over the Magic.

Impact White has been underwhelming to start the season, and fantasy managers likely expected better numbers from the veteran combo guard. While White continues to see steady playing time above 30 minutes, reaching that mark in four of his six appearances, he has scored 15-plus points just twice. White's defensive activity and three-point shooting provide a useful foundation, but his scoring numbers are down compared to recent years -- he's averaging just 11.8 points per game, and that would be his lowest mark since joining the Celtics in the 2021-22 season.

Quiet against Chicago White finished with nine points (4-6 FG, 1-2 3Pt), two rebounds, four assists and two steals over 26 minutes during Friday's 125-111 win over the Bulls.

Impact It was the second time in three games that White failed to score in double digits while attempting less than 10 field goals, but he did contribute defensively with two steals. White's production is streaky, and even with Jaylen Brown (knee) now in Philadelphia, the former is still serving in a complementary role to Jayson Tatum, Paul George and even Payton Pritchard off the bench.

Hands out seven assists White contributed 16 points (5-15 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 5-5 FT), five rebounds and seven assists across 33 minutes in Tuesday's 125-124 overtime win over the Nets.

Impact White struggled from deep, making just one of seven three-point attempts, but his seven assists helped offset the inefficient scoring. His role as one of Boston's most important players is pretty much set in stone, but he needs to be more efficient with his outside shot to reach his fantasy ceiling. Through four games this season, White is averaging just 12.5 points per game while shooting 31.8 percent from deep, so there's definitely room for improvement there.

Will play Tuesday White (hip) is available for Tuesday's game against the Nets, Bobby Krivitsky of Forbes.com reports.

Impact As expected, the star guard is shedding a probable designation with a right hip issue. Although it's the second half of a back-to-back, White should be able to handle a normal workload as long as Tuesday's contest remains competitive.

Probable for Tuesday White (right hip) is probable for Tuesday's game against the Nets.

Impact White is a little banged up from Monday's game against the Bulls in which he turned the ball over six times in 18 minutes. However, the veteran guard intends to play through the issue for the second leg of this back-to-back set.

OCTOBER 27 • ROTOWIRE

Poor showing in win White chipped in five points (2-4 FG, 1-2 3Pt), six rebounds, four assists, one block and three steals over 18 minutes during Monday's 134-99 win over the Bulls.

Impact White endured a quiet offensive outing, attempting just four shots while committing six turnovers. However, the veteran guard salvaged some fantasy value with three steals and a block despite playing only 18 minutes in the blowout. White's limited playing time was largely a product of the lopsided score, and he should remain a reliable contributor across multiple categories moving forward.

Hands out eight dimes White produced 17 points (7-13 FG, 3-7 3Pt), one rebound, eight assists and one steal in 36 minutes during Tuesday's 121-113 loss to the Pistons.

Impact White finished second on the Celtics in assists behind Jayson Tatum's 11 while knocking down three triples in an efficient shooting performance. The veteran guard committed four turnovers, but his substantial playing time and involvement as a secondary playmaker provide a solid foundation for his fantasy value alongside Tatum and Paul George.

Expected to play Tuesday White (rest) is expected to play in Tuesday's game against Detroit.

Impact White didn't suit up for Friday's 125-120 preseason overtime win over the 76ers to rest but is expected to play versus the Pistons. The 32-year-old averaged a career-best 16.5 points along with 4.4 rebounds, 5.4 assists, 1.3 blocks and 1.1 steals over 34.1 minutes in 77 regular-season games in 2025-26. White did have some trouble finding the net, especially from deep, though he reportedly worked on his shot during the offseason.

Won't play in preseason finale White will not play in Friday's preseason finale against the 76ers, Sean Grande of NBC Sports Boston reports.

Impact Most of Boston's regulars are getting the night off. White is expected to be in action for Tuesday's regular-season opener against the Pistons.

Makes impact at both ends of court Wednesday White played 20 minutes in Wednesday's preseason win over the Hornets, scoring 17 points (6-9 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT) and adding four steals, three rebounds and two assists.

Impact Making his second appearance of the exhibition schedule, the veteran point guard finished second to Jayson Tatum in scoring for Boston while leading a defense that snatched 16 steals in total. White will be looking to improve his efficiency in 2026-27 after shooting a career-worst 39.4 percent from the floor last season, along with a 32.7 percent mark from three-point range that was a steep decline from the prior three campaigns.

OCTOBER 15 • ROTOWIRE

Solid outing in blowout win White posted 15 points (5-11 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds, two assists and one steal in 26 minutes during Saturday's 144-106 preseason win over the 76ers.

Impact White finished behind Jayson Tatum, Payton Pritchard and Hugo Gonzalez in scoring. However, despite the 32-year-old's scoring contributions, he shot just 20.0 percent from deep, which isn't an encouraging sign after he shot a career-low 27.3 percent from downtown during the 2026 Playoffs. With Jaylen Brown now in Philadelphia, White could see more offensive opportunities than ever in 2026-27, and since he worked on his shot during the offseason, his three-point issues might be behind him.

OCTOBER 11 • ROTOWIRE

Starting Saturday White (rest) is in the Celtics' starting lineup against the 76ers on Saturday, Sean Grande of NBC Sports Boston reports.

Impact White and other prominent Celtics players like Jayson Tatum (rest) and Paul George (rest) will be on the floor for Saturday's exhibition contest. It'll be White's first preseason game as he gears up for Boston's regular-season opener against Detroit on Tuesday, Oct. 20.
