With one of his All-Star teammates unavailable, Derrick White proved to be the perfect stand-in for Jaylen Brown.

The sixth-year guard had a particularly sizzling first half in dropping 26 points and seven three-pointers and finished with a career-best 33 points on 12 of 19 shooting — including 8 for 14 from deep — while adding three rebounds, 10 assists and three blocks in Boston’s 127-116 victory on February 10, 2023. · Feb 11, 2023
