In the 2023-24 season, White averaged 15.2 points, 5.2 assists, and 4.2 rebounds along with a steal per game. He earned a spot on the NBA’s All-Defense Second Team, alongside his backcourt partner, Jrue Holiday.
White was initially acquired by the Celtics at the 2022 trade deadline for Josh Richardson, Romeo Langford, and a first-round pick.
