Celtics’ Derrick White Reportedly Involved In Spat During Colorado Rivalry Game

Boston Celtics guard Derrick White is just weeks away from returning the court as his team embarks on a quest to repeat as NBA champions.

The recently-extended Boston guard nearly found himself in untimely trouble just before the season in a visit back to his alma mater as the Colorado Buffalos battled the Colorado State Rams in a rivalry college football game.

During the game, White reportedly ended up in the middle of a fan scuffle behind the end zone, per TMZ. The Celtics star took a smack to the head, knocking off his hat before authorities intervened to break up the event. From a broken tooth in the NBA Finals to this latest incident, White has taken a few hits over the last few months.

White and the Celtics open the season against the New York Knicks on Oct. 22 at TD Garden.
