2026年3月10日，周二，在圣安东尼奥的霜冻银行中心，波士顿凯尔特人队后卫德里克·怀特（9号）在对阵圣安东尼奥马刺队的比赛中。马刺最终以125-116击败凯尔特人。
德里克·怀特 (Derrick White) 在面对老东家时打出了优异表现，但遗憾未能带队取胜。
怀特在2022年2月被交易至波士顿之前，曾在马刺度过了他职业生涯的前四个多赛季。在凯尔特人以116-125不敌马刺的比赛中，他出战全队最高的40分钟，砍下全队最高且创下个人赛季新高的34分，并贡献了7次助攻和5个篮板。
这是自2019年季后赛首轮第三场怀特在118-108战胜丹佛掘金的比赛中砍下36分以来，他在霜冻银行中心拿到的最高分。在那当年的系列赛中，掘金最终激战七场胜出。
“我对这座球馆里的许多人都深怀爱意，”怀特说道，“能见到很多我职业生涯初期就认识的人，这种感觉非常棒。”
本赛季至今，怀特的场均得分（17.5分）、助攻（5.7次）、抢断（1.2次）和盖帽（1.4次）均创下职业生涯新高。这与他2017年从科罗拉多大学毕业、被马刺以首轮第29顺位选中时的那个青涩新秀形象已不可同日而语。
“我还记得他在发展联盟的第一场比赛，当时他受伤了，而且被几个甚至不是NBA级别的球员打爆了，”马刺主帅米奇·约翰逊 (Mitch Johnson) 说道，在怀特效力奥斯汀马刺期间，他曾作为助理教练执教过怀特。
但约翰逊紧接着补充道，对于怀特如今成长为如此强韧、全能的球员——并在2024年帮助凯尔特人夺冠——他一点也不感到意外。
“他是我执教过最棒的人之一，也是我见过最出色的队友之一……他是个勤奋、正直的人，看到他取得这一切成功，你会由衷地为他感到高兴，”约翰逊表示，“我庆幸我们在常规赛里不用面对他超过两次。”

How Derrick White tormented his former team in Celtics’ loss to Spurs
Boston Celtics guard Derrick White (9) plays against the San Antonio Spurs at Frost Bank Center in San Antonio, Tuesday, March 10, 2026. The Spurs defeated the Celtics 125-116.
Derrick White had a big game in a losing effort against his former team.
White, who spent his first four-plus seasons with the Spurs before they traded him to Boston in February 2022, had a team- and season-high 34 points, seven assists and five rebounds in a team-high 40 minutes in the Celtics’ 125-116 loss.
It was the most points White has scored at the Frost Bank Center since he had 36 in a 118-108 win over Denver in Game 3 of the first round of the 2019 playoffs, which the Nuggets went on to win in seven games.
“I got a lot of love for a lot of people in this arena,” he said. “It was good to see a lot of people from when I first started.”
For the season, White is averaging career bests in points (17.5), assists (5.7), steals (1.2) and blocks (1.4). It’s a far cry from the days when he was a timid rookie for the Spurs after they selected him 29th overall in 2017 out of Colorado.
“I remember his first game in the D League when he got hurt and he got dominated by a couple of guys that weren’t NBA players,” said Spurs coach Mitch Johnson, who coached White as an assistant with Austin in those days.
But Johnson was quick to add he’s not surprised White has developed into such a tough, all-around player — one who helped the Celtics win a title in 2024.
“One of the best people I’ve coached, one of the best teammates I’ve been around. … Just a hardworking, very good person that you’re happy for with all the success,” Johnson said. “And I’m glad we don’t have to play him more than two times during the regular season.”
