Derrick White To Make Celtics Debut Friday Vs. Nuggets At TD Garden
White will make his Celtics debut Friday
The Boston Celtics and newly acquired guard Derrick White are wasting no time.
Boston traded Josh Richardson, Romeo Langford and a first-round draft pick for the former San Antonio Spurs guard prior to Thursday’s NBA trade deadline, and he’s jumping right into the action Friday, as the Celtics take on the Denver Nuggets at TD Garden, according to The Athletic’s Jay King.
White is averaging 14.4 points and a career-high 5.6 assists per game so far this season through 49 games.
The Celtics apparently have been high on White for years, according to president of basketball operations Brad Stevens, and now have him locked-in until 2025 as they look for Banner 18.
