BOSTON — Derrick White is one of the more mild-mannered members of the Boston Celtics.
That’s why it was so strange to see the Celtics guard in the middle of a fracas at a Colorado-Colorado State football game earlier this month.
White, a Colorado alum who has been in attendance to cheer on the Buffaloes in the past, got into a spat with Colorado State fans during the game and a fan took a swipe at the 6-foot-4, 190-pound White, knocking off his hat before authorities stepped in.
White spoke about the heated incident for the first time Tuesday at Celtics media day and regretted getting caught up in that scene.
“Obviously the Colorado situation is unfortunate,” White said. “Never thought I’d be in that situation, honestly. I didn’t actually get hit. He just hit my hat off. Shouldn’t have been there. It’s unfortunate and just moving forward.”

Aside from the scuffle and having to undergo three route canals this past Friday to repair the tooth he broke diving for a loose ball in the clinching game of the NBA Finals, it was a celebratory offseason for White. After helping the Celtics secure an NBA title, he won his first Olympic gold medal with Team USA and also received a massive payday.
White agreed to a four-year contract extension worth $125.9 million in early July and White was thrilled to be locked in with the Celtics for the foreseeable future.
“It was amazing,” White said. “I’ve been saying since that since I’ve been here that I didn’t want to go nowhere else. Just love playing for this organization with this team, this coaching staff and for these fans.
“I was super excited for it to get done, especially early in the summer, so I didn’t have to answer all the questions about it. I love being here and me and my family are super excited to be here for a while.”
