Derrick White Exits Celtics vs. 76ers Game Early with Apparent Injury
Wow, this is definitely not what Celtics fans wanted to see. As Boston battled the Philadelphia 76ers, Derrick White had to exit the game early, heading straight to the locker room with what appeared to be an injury. This was a tough blow for the Celtics, who are already missing key players. Losing White, even temporarily, could make things even more challenging.

Now, there’s been some speculation about what exactly happened. Some reports suggest White may have chipped another tooth—yes, another one. If you remember, he had a similar dental mishap during the 2024 NBA Finals against the Mavericks. This guy just can’t catch a break when it comes to his teeth! But for now, we don’t have full confirmation on the nature of his injury. What we do know is that White had already put up 10 points before he left the court, and Boston is hoping he can return soon.
Just a few nights ago, White was on fire, dropping 41 points in the Celtics’ win over the Portland Trail Blazers. That kind of performance showed just how valuable he is to this team. Celtics head coach Joe Mazzulla even praised both White and Payton Pritchard, saying their contributions were huge, especially with other stars missing. Mazzulla highlighted how these guys do the "dirty work" when the team is at full strength but can also step up in big moments when needed.
White’s importance to this Celtics squad cannot be overstated. He’s a two-way player, bringing solid defense and offensive versatility. With Boston pushing for another deep playoff run, they need him healthy. The hope now is that this injury—whatever it turns out to be—is minor, and he can get back on the court quickly.
For now, we wait for an official update, but Celtics fans are definitely holding their breath. Let’s just hope White bounces back soon—preferably with all his teeth intact this time!
