The Boston Celtics are just one win away from closing out their series against the Philadelphia 76ers in Game 6, but they'll need a key contributor to rediscover his rhythm. Derrick White, the Celtics' reliable guard, has been open about his recent shooting struggles—and he's not shying away from the challenge.

White had a tough outing in Tuesday's Game 5 loss, scoring only six points on 2-for-8 shooting, including an 0-for-4 mark from three-point range. It's been a recurring theme throughout the series: White has been held to single digits in three of the five games, with his highest output being just 11 points in Game 3.

"It's easy to say just go out there and have fun, but there are a lot of different things that go into it," White shared, via Celtics on CLNS. "I'm definitely thankful for the teammates I have to keep me going and have my back. It's up to me to play the way I know I can."

For Celtics fans, seeing White snap out of this slump couldn't come at a better time. When he's locked in from beyond the arc, Boston's offense flows with an extra gear—spacing the floor for stars like Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown while keeping defenses honest. If White can find his stroke in Game 6, the Celtics have a strong chance to advance and await the winner of the Hawks-Knicks series.

Whether you're hitting the court or cheering from home, every player goes through cold streaks. The key is staying confident and trusting the process—something White is ready to prove he can do.
