Questionable vs OKC White is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against Oklahoma City due to a right knee contusion, Zack Cox of the Boston Herald reports.

Impact White has picked up a bruised right knee, and the issue could prevent him from facing the Thunder. The standout guard played 40 minutes in Tuesday's loss to San Antonio. If he can't play, Payton Pritchard (neck) would likely handle point guard duties.

Scores season-high 34 points White closed Tuesday's 125-116 loss to the Spurs with 34 points (11-22 FG, 3-11 3Pt, 9-11 FT), five rebounds, seven assists and one block in 40 minutes.

Impact White delivered one of his best stat lines of the season Tuesday, but his efforts were not enough to get past a red-hot Spurs team. The 34-point output was White's best scoring mark of the season, and he also contributed decent numbers in categories such as rebounds and assists, which is something that can always be expected out of him. The veteran guard is averaging a strong line of 18.5 points, 4.7 rebounds, 6.4 assists, 1.0 steals and 1.6 blocks per game since the break, and his role on offense hasn't diminished with Jayson Tatum returning to the lineup. In fact, White is posting better numbers after the All-Star break than before the break.

Continues to shine White registered 20 points (8-16 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, four assists, two blocks and two steals across 31 minutes during Friday's 120-100 victory over the Mavericks.

Impact Despite Jayson Tatum (Achilles) returning to the lineup Friday, White remained a focal point of the Celtics' attack and reached the 20-point plateau for the fifth time in his last seven games. While he provided elite defensive value with two blocks and two steals, White's overall usage may see a slight dip as Tatum fully reintegrates into the offense. Regardless of White's scoring ceiling, his ability to generate defensive stats from the guard position keeps his floor high.
