Report: D.J. White in Celtics’ Sights for 10-Day Contract to Fortify Slim Roster

The Boston Celtics currently sit with a roster of 13 bodies, but two — Rajon Rondo and Jared Sullinger — will miss the rest of the 2013 season.

The Celtics may be looking to add a big man to their core, and one name that has popped up is DJ White. According to ESPN’s Marc Stein, the Boston Celtics will look to sign the former Charlotte Bobcat to a 10-day contract.

White has averaged an impressive 21.6 points, 9.7 rebounds, and 1.3 blocks with the Shanghai Sharks, who recently just finished their season. If the 26-year-old signs, it will be the second player the Celtics have recently signed from China, following Jordan Crawford.
