It’s impossible to not root for Derrick White.
During his four and a half seasons in San Antonio, White captured the hearts of Silver and Black fans with his remarkable hustle, heart, attitude, and charge-taking. He embodied Spurs culture, leaving it all on the court every outing. He’s the picture-perfect winning player, the type of guy you love playing with and competing against. By all accounts, he’s an incredible teammate, relentless worker, and a flat-out great person overall. His smile is contagious, even through a screen.
All of White’s lovable aspects made his departure to Boston via trade in 2022 a heartbreaking one.
