Derrick White's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Boston Celtics guard Derrick White (hand) won't feature against Washington on Sunday. The C's kick off a back-to-back in D.C., and White will be kept out of the lineup with a left-hand sprain. Payton Pritchard's minutes should get a nice boost from White's absence, while Jrue Holiday will have more opportunities to orchestrate play in the backcourt. We might end up seeing a lot of Boston's bench guys in the contest, as the Wizards are extremely shorthanded, and there's a high chance of the game turning into an ugly blowout -- Vegas has Boston as a 15-point favorite pregame.

Boston Celtics guard Derrick White (hand) is listed as questionable ahead of Monday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. At the moment, it appears White is in danger of missing this game due to a left hand sprain. The team will likely wait and see how it feels on Monday before making any final decisions. The Celtics are banged up right now with Jaylen Brown (groin) and Jrue Holiday (knee) questionable for this game as well. If they sit, Payton Pritchard and Sam Hauser could be looking at significant playing time during Monday's game.

The Boston Celtics have no injuries listed leading into Friday's matchup with the Denver Nuggets, which means that guard Derrick White (ankle) is ready to play. White will return from a one-game absence with a sprained left ankle, and he won't miss out on Friday's chance to participate in a potential NBA Finals preview with the reigning champions. The well-rounded 29-year-old has functioned as a nine-category gem in 2023-24, providing 15.9 points, 4.9 assists, 3.9 rebounds, 2.6 triples, and 2.2 combined steals plus blocks with 90.3% free-throw shooting during 32.0 minutes covering 37 games. Luke Kornet joined Boston's starting lineup and blocked three shots in Wednesday's rout of the San Antonio Spurs, but he'll almost certainly return to obscurity in White's return on Friday.

Boston Celtics guard Derrick White (ankle) will miss his first game since Nov. 20 on Wednesday versus the San Antonio Spurs. White is nursing a sprained left ankle after rolling it late in Monday's win over the Toronto Raptors, so the Celtics will offer him a breather against a far inferior opponent on Wednesday. The 29-year-old two-way stud has checked virtually every box a nine-category fantasy manager can find, returning third-round value via averages of 15.9 points, 4.9 assists, 3.9 rebounds, 2.6 triples, and 2.2 combined steals plus blocks with 90.3% free-throw shooting in 32.0 minutes through 37 games in 2023-24. With Kristaps Porzingis (knee) joining White on the sidelines, additional opportunities to shoot and create will be available in a plum spot for Boston on Wednesday. Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown, and Jrue Holiday will orchestrate the offense, with Payton Pritchard lining up for a boost in playing time.
