Derrick White will enter the new season as the Boston Celtics starting point guard. Since Brad Stevens acquired the veteran guard in 2022, White has slowly established himself as a core part of Boston’s rotation. Currently, White has two years remaining on his four-year $70 million deal.
However, during a recent appearance on ESPN’s NBA Today, White revealed how he would be open to negotiating a contract extension to extend his stay with the Celtics. White has proven to be a reliable member of the Celtics rotation since joining the team and has displayed an ability to operate as both a primary and secondary ball-handler alongside Jayson Tatum.
