Celtics' Derrick White Glues Knocked-Out Teeth Back In During Game

After losing his temporary dental bridge in a collision, White returned to finish the game with a mouthpiece and glue holding his teeth in place.

Derrick White lost his temporary four-tooth dental bridge after taking an elbow to the face from Kelly Oubre Jr. during the Celtics' game against the 76ers.
White retrieved his teeth from the court, applied glue in the locker room, and used a mouthpiece to secure them before returning to play in the second half.
This incident follows a similar dental injury White suffered during the 2024 NBA Finals, where he chipped and loosened teeth in a collision.
White admitted to delaying a dental appointment to replace the temporary bridge with a permanent one, jokingly vowing to visit his dentist the next day.
Despite the injury, White contributed 12 points, 6 assists, and 3 rebounds in Boston's 123-105 victory over Philadelphia.
