Spurs move out of relegation zone with crucial victory at Villa
Tottenham's crucial 2-1 victory at Aston Villa lifts them out of relegation zone.
Derrick White expresses disappointment after the Celtics' playoff loss to the 76ers and vows to improve his shooting next season. He acknowledges the need to work on his game during the summer.
Losing unexpectedly in the postseason always stings even the most veteran players, and for Boston Celtics point guard Derrick White, their 2026 NBA Eastern Conference Playoffs first round series loss to the Philadelphia 76ers. After the 109-100 defeat at TD Garden this past Saturday (May 2), White said that the exit "really sucks."
"You always think you're going to play for a long time," said the Colorado native. "And it ends so quickly ... super proud of the guys for an amazing year, and I'm thankful and blessed to be a part of this team but it just sucks." With star Boston forward Jayson Tatum on the bench with knee soreness, it was imperative for White to snap his series shooting slump for the Celtics to have a shot at beating the resurgent Sixers.
And while the Colorado - Boulder alum did hit several timely treys, he also went 9-of-26 from the field and 5-of-16 from beyond the arc, joining Boston offensive mainstays Jaylen Brown (12-of-27) and Payton Pritchard (5-of-13) as the primary culprits behind another inefficient outing of Celtics offense that would ultimately doom Boston.
