Derrick White News, Rumors, Updates - Boston Celtics

Won't play Sunday White (knee) isn't available for Sunday's game against Charlotte, according to Bobby Krivitsky of Forbes.com.

Impact White won't play Sunday, so now the question is if he will suit up for Monday's rematch with Atlanta. With Jaylen Brown (Achilles) also out, Jayson Tatum (Achilles), who is good to go, should take on a bigger load offensively. Payton Pritchard, Baylor Scheierman, Sam Hauser and Hugo Gonzalez should also be more involved on the scoring end, regardless of their roles.

Lands questionable designation White (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Hornets, Bobby Krivitsky of Forbes.com reports.

Impact White lands on the initial injury report for a second straight game due to a bruised right knee. He played through the injury Friday, but it's uncertain if he'll do so again Sunday. If not, Payton Pritchard would handle most of the point guard duties, while Max Shulga could enter the rotation.

Good to go Friday White (knee) is good to go for Friday's game against the Hawks, Kevin Chouinard of the Hawks' official site reports.

Impact White was previously listed as questionable, but he will give it a go against the Hawks. Jaylen Brown (calf) is getting the night off, so White may see a bump in usage Friday.

Iffy for Friday White is questionable for Friday's game against the Hawks with a bruised right knee.

Impact The Celtics could see how the star guard is feeling following Friday's pregame warmups before updating his status. Payton Pritchard would likely step into a featured role as the starting point guard if White cannot play.

Struggles with shot in win White finished Wednesday's 119-109 win over the Thunder with 12 points (3-11 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 4-4 FT), two rebounds and six assists across 33 minutes.

Impact Jaylen Brown carried the Celtics to victory in this matchup, and while White had some decent numbers in the assists department, he had a rough go with his shot. White is expected to operate as the Celtics' No. 3 option on offense now that Jayson Tatum is back in the mix, and his numbers have suffered because of that. He's gone four games in a row without surpassing the 15-point mark, a stretch in which he's averaging 13.0 points per game while shooting just 38.8 percent from the floor and 22.2 percent from three-point range.

Scores 15 points in loss Sunday White posted 15 points (6-15 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, one assist and three steals in 36 minutes during Sunday's 102-92 loss to the Timberwolves.

Impact White has failed to surpass the 15-point plateau in four of his last five games, and the veteran guard has experienced a bit of regression now that Jayson Tatum is entrenched as the No. 2 option on offense. White is averaging 18.5 points per game since the beginning of March while shooting 31.5 percent from deep across 11 appearances. For the sake of comparison, he had averaged 21.3 points per game in his first six games this month as opposed to 15.2 ppg in the last five.

Struggles from long range White registered 14 points (6-15 FG, 2-10 3Pt, 0-1 FT), five rebounds, three assists, one block and two steals over 36 minutes during Friday's 117-112 victory over Memphis.

Impact The Celtics ended up getting the win, but White didn't have his best performance. Even though managers in point-based leagues will be happy to see White leaving his mark in the five major categories, this game marked the third out of the last four in which White failed to surpass the 15-point mark. White has shot just 32.4 percent from three-point range over that four-game stretch, and as low as that number looks, it's not too far from his season-long average of 32.6 percent -- a clear downgrade after he made at least 38.0 percent from deep in the previous three campaigns.

Impact White has been given the green light to return from a one-game absence due to a right knee contusion, which will likely result in Payton Pritchard reverting to a bench role for Saturday's contest. In his last outing against the Spurs on Tuesday, White finished with 34 points, seven assists, five rebounds, one block and three three-pointers over 40 minutes.
