Trade of Confidence
Date: June 13, 2022
After five seasons with the San Antonio Spurs organization, Derrick White came to the Celtics at the trade deadline in February 2022. The guard helped Boston’s run to the playoffs by averaging 11.0 points, 3.5 assists and 3.4 rebounds in 26 regular-season games off the bench. White also appeared in 23 postseason games, enjoying a breakout performance with 21 points and five 3-pointers in the comeback victory in Game 1 of the NBA Finals. “I just wasn’t making shots for a little bit there and then I just kept staying confident,” White said. “Everybody stayed confident in me and [I] started getting something to go down.”
