The Boston Celtics have signed guard Derrick White to a four-year, $125.9 million contract extension. The deal, reported by ESPN, includes a player option and was a significant offseason priority for the reigning NBA champions. White has made an All-Defensive Team in each of his two full seasons with Boston, solidifying his value to the team. The extension breakdown includes $28.1 million for the 2025/26 season, $30.4 million for 2026/27, $32.6 million for 2027/28, and $34.8 million for 2028/29. The $125.9 million was the maximum allowed. Assuming Jayson Tatum signs a supermax extension, the Celtics are already facing a minimum luxury tax bill of $125 million in 2025-26. This move is part of the Celtics' strategy to retain key players who contributed to their championship success.

Derrick White made it clear he wants to stay in Boston. There was no doubt the Celtics would offer him the max extension, but the question was whether he would take it now or wait for a bigger market next year. A player option toward the end of his prime certainly helped. Wroteβ¦
