Derrick White admitted a simple truth after the Boston Celtics beat the Philadelphia 76ers Thursday: Sometimes you forget about a dentist appointment.
As Sixers guard Kelly Oubre went up for a floater, his elbow landed on White's face, which sent teeth flying. Thursday wasn't the first time White experienced a dental issue mid-game, as he chipped his front tooth during Game 5 of the NBA Finals last year. The Celtics went on to clinch their 18th NBA championship later that night—a small price for White to pay for his first NBA title.
