Celtics' Derrick White Loses Temporary Bridge After Collision With Kelly Oubre Jr.

White returned in the second half of Boston's win over the 76ers despite losing dental work in an on-court incident.

Derrick White lost his temporary dental bridge after an accidental elbow to the face by Kelly Oubre Jr. during the second quarter of the Celtics' game against the 76ers.
The incident occurred while White was contesting a layup, forcing him to leave the game briefly and head to the locker room for treatment.
White returned in the second half after securing the dental work with glue and finished the game with 12 points and 6 assists in Boston's 123-105 victory.
This is the second dental injury White has experienced in less than a year, following a similar incident during the 2024 NBA Finals.
White plans to visit his dentist on Friday to address the issue and replace the temporary bridge with a permanent solution.
