Derrick White Probable To Return Wednesday
6 months agoBoston Celtics guard Derrick White (personal) is considered probable for Wednesday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. White was initially deemed probable before Monday's date with the Timberwolves in Minnesota but was then not seen at morning shootaround, ruling him out for the contest. It sounds like the Celtics are expecting the 29-year-old lockdown defender to return to the team in time for Wednesday's Atlantic Division battle with the Sixers, but his availability at shootaround should be telling either way. White is off to a spectacular fantasy start this season, averaging 15.8 points (64.7% shooting), 4.3 assists, 2.8 treys, and 2.6 combined steals and blocks covering four games. Al Horford, who has soaked up 33.1 minutes per game over Boston's last two, would likely be pushed back to the second unit if White returns.
