White exited to the locker room after sustaining an apparent facial injury during the second quarter of Thursday's game against Philadelphia, John Karalis of BostonSportsJournal.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
White appeared to lose a tooth after taking an elbow to the face from an opposing player, and he left the court with a towel over his face. If the combo guard joins Jaylen Brown (knee), Jrue Holiday (finger) and Sam Hauser (ankle) on the shelf, Payton Pritchard and Baylor Scheierman will likely see an uptick in playing time the rest of the way.

White had 41 points (14-26 FG, 9-17 3Pt, 4-4 FT), three rebounds, two assists, one block and three steals over 39 minutes during Wednesday's 128-118 win over the Trail Blazers.
EDGE Analysis
White caught fire Wednesday, connecting on nine triples as he scored a season-high 41 points. After struggling through the month of January, White has been able to rediscover his best form over the past month, averaging 19.3 points, 4.5 rebounds, 4.3 assists, 1.3 steals and 4.5 three-pointers. He has missed just three games all season and continues to be one of the most durable players in the league.

White (back) is available for Wednesday's game against Portland, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
A back contusion won't stop White from suiting up Wednesday, and the star guard should see plenty of playmaking opportunities in the absences of Jayson Tatum (shoulder) and Kristaps Porzingis (illness). Across his last six outings, White has averaged 18.0 points, 4.8 rebounds, 4.0 assists, 1.5 steals and 4.7 three-pointers in 34.4 minutes.

White is listed as probable for Wednesday's game against the Trail Blazers due to a low back contusion, Taylor Snow of the Celtics' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
White has missed only three games this season, and he's likely to take the floor Wednesday despite being on the injury report due to a back injury. White's presence will be crucial for the Celtics if they are without Jayson Tatum (shoulder) and Jaylen Brown (illness), both of whom are listed as questionable. White has shot 46.3 percent from three-point range on 9.0 3PA/G since the beginning of February, and over that span, he has averaged 17.3 points, 4.8 assists, 4.3 rebounds and 1.0 steals over 33.6 minutes per game.

White closed Friday's 123-116 loss to the Cavaliers with 16 points (5-12 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound, five assists and three steals across 41 minutes.
EDGE Analysis
Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown carried the Celtics on offense, as they combined for 83 of the team's 116 points, but White still found a way to contribute, particularly with his long-range shooting. This was the fourth game in a row in which White drained at least four triples, and while he's not expected to carry Boston on offense in any given game, he remains extremely valuable for the team, both in real life and fantasy, due to his elite shooting and overall contributions. He's averaging 18.2 points, 5.2 rebounds, 4.4 assists and 1.4 steals per game while shooting 52.3 percent from deep since the All-Star break.

White finished Tuesday's 111-101 win over the Raptors with 22 points (7-15 FG, 6-11 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five assists, three rebounds, three steals and two blocks over 38 minutes.
EDGE Analysis
White was red hot from three-point range Tuesday, connecting on six threes for the fourth time this season while finishing as the Celtics' second-leading scorer behind Jaylen Brown (24). White also reminded fans of his defensive prowess, leading both teams in steals and blocks. White has averaged 17.7 points on 48.6 percent shooting (including 46.0 percent from three on 8.3 3PA/G), 6.0 rebounds, 5.7 assists and 0.8 steals over 33.8 minutes per game during the Celtics' six-game winning streak.

White ended Thursday's 124-104 victory over Philadelphia with 16 points (5-10 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 3-3 FT), 10 rebounds and two assists across 26 minutes.
EDGE Analysis
White produced his second double-double of the season while grabbing 10 rebounds, one shy of the team-high mark behind Jayson Tatum's 11 boards Thursday. The 30-year-old combo guard's defensive stats have dried out a bit of late, but he's maintained steady averages of 17.6 points, 4.8 assists, 4.2 rebounds, 0.5 steals, 0.5 blocks and 3.6 three-pointers while shooting 41.9 percent from deep over his last 10 games.

White finished Wednesday's 116-103 win over the Spurs with 19 points (7-16 FG, 3-11 3Pt, 2-2 FT), nine assists, seven rebounds and one steal over 39 minutes.
EDGE Analysis
White led both teams in assists Wednesday and finished as the Celtics' third-leading scorer behind Jayson Tatum (32) and Kristaps Porzingis (29). White has gone 5-for-19 from three-point range over his last two games, but part of that has to do with the absence of Jaylen Brown (knee). Opposing defenses will be forced to pay more attention to Brown once he returns, which should open the floor up for White and the rest of the Celtics' offense.
