Seven Former Buffs Begin NBA Seasons This Week
BOULDER – Seven former University of Colorado men's basketball standouts – five players and two head coaches - are set for the 2022-23 NBA regular season which begins Tuesday night.
Derrick White (2016-17) and the defending Eastern Conference champion Boston Celtics tip off the former Buffaloes in the NBA on Tuesday, Oct. 18, at home against Philadelphia (5:30 p.m. MT, TNT). White averaged 11.0 points, 3.4 rebounds and 3.5 assists and played a key role in the Celtics run to the NBA Finals last season after a mid-season trade from San Antonio.
