DENVER — The NBA Finals are finally upon us – airing on Denver7 – and one of the key players in the Celtics-Mavericks series has deep Colorado roots.
He was the leading scorer in his one season at the University of Colorado in 2016-17 before being selected by the San Antonio Spurs in the first round of the 2017 NBA Draft. He joined the Celtics in 2022 and is now appearing in his second Finals in three years. The Celtics boasted the league’s second-best defensive rating in the regular season and White said he looks forward to the challenge posed by Doncic and Irving.
“It’s the NBA finals, it’s going to be a challenge. We’ve just got to be up for it and it’s going to be a lot of fun.”
