After helping lead the Celtics to an NBA championship in 2024, Derrick White signed a four-year, $125.9 million contract extension. The first of those four years begins this season. On the latest episode of his podcast White Noise, White discussed his decision to only consider extending with the Boston Celtics:
“I’d never want to play anywhere else. I wanted to be in Boston… I’ve always said that. It was pretty simple, pretty straight forward. Signing that, I was super excited just to stay in Boston and continue to be a Celtic. Hopefully do great things in Boston.
