Derrick White injury: Boston Celtics guard loses tooth after hit to jaw
BOSTON — The Celtics were already without five rotation players against the 76ers on Wednesday, then one of their starters had to head to the locker room. C’s guard Derrick White looked like he lost a tooth after getting hit in the face by the 76ers' Kelly Oubre Jr. midway through the second quarter.

Celtics guard Derrick White left in the first half of Boston’s matchup with Philadelphia on Thursday night with a dental injury that was reminiscent of the one he suffered last year in the NBA Finals.
The Boston Celtics have made a habit of setting offensive records over the past several years. Their 122.2 offensive rating a season ago is the best any team has ever posted over a full season. They are on track to break records for both 3-point attempts and 3-pointers made this season.
Speaking after a 43-point game Wednesday against Portland, Payton Pritchard mapped out why he didn't try to break the team's 3-point record.
Payton Pritchard scores 43 points on 10 3-pointers, and Derrick White adds 4 on nine 3s to become the first duo in NBA history to both make nine or more 3s in the same game.
Pritchard and White combined for 84 points, becoming the first Celtics teammates to reach the 40-point mark in the same game, and the first duo in NBA history to connect on at least nine 3-pointers.
