Celtics' Jrue Holiday Extension Impacts Derrick White's Contract Talks

White Eligible for Extension with Boston by October 23

Report: White Could Sign 3-Year, $140 Million Deal

The recent long-term contract extension signed by Jrue Holiday with the Boston Celtics has reportedly impacted ongoing discussions between the team and guard Derrick White regarding a potential extension.

White, who has two years and $70 million remaining on his current contract, is eligible for an extension under the NBA's new Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA). According to sources, he could sign a three-year, $140 million deal with the Celtics.

The Celtics have until midnight on October 23 to reach an agreement with White before the new season begins. The team is reportedly eager to extend his contract, but the Holiday extension may have complicated the negotiations.

White has been a valuable contributor to the Celtics since arriving via trade last season. He averaged 11.4 points, 3.4 rebounds, and 5.4 assists per game in the regular season and played a key role in the team's run to the NBA Finals.
