Injury slows Derrick White down the stretch in NBA Summer League

An injury prevented Derrick White from completing what was shaping up to be a spectacular run through the NBA Summer League.

Nevertheless, it was a solid showing for the three former Colorado standouts who competed in the league's annual summer showcase — White, George King, and Askia Booker.

White was averaged 22 points through the first four games for San Antonio before suffering a hamstring injury on July 8 that kept him sidelined for the Spurs' final three games.
