Dan The numbers are quite alarming for the starting backcourt duo, particularly coming off a dismal Lakers performance. Derrick White has fallen into the worst offensive slump of his Celtics tenure, sooting under 42 percent from the field in seven of his last eight games.

Will we be seeing more of the young guard in the future? Was this the Celtics' way of pumping up his potential trade value?
The little-used guard got the call when Boston couldn't stop the Clippers' guards. He delivered stout defense and more in an overtime win.
Perhaps Wednesday night will go down as “The Jaden Springer Game”—his most impactful performance as a Celtic and one that could shape his future in Boston, especially with the NBA trade deadline just two weeks away.
Springer is probably the best young player the Celtics have, and has a ton of potential to be great. Currently, he is only averaging 2 points and a rebound this season, but that’s due to the fact he barely plays. When he does, he shows flashes of greatness.
The Boston Celtics have been looking for a trade that could help them get out of the skid they’ve been in, and a trade that can lower their enormous payroll. According to Brett Siegel of ClutchPoints, the Celtics have potentially found their target: former C’s wing Javonte Green.
An “unbelievable” performance from an unlikely Celtic helped Boston escape with a win over the Clippers on Wednesday.
Springer ended with eight points (2-6 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds and four steals across 20 minutes during Wednesday's 117-113 overtime win over the Clippers. All four of Springer's team-high four steals came in the second half of Wednesday's overtime win over the Clippers.
According to Brett Siegel of ClutchPoints, the Celtics are open to parting ways with Jaden Springer in order to save some money. Springer is making about $4 million. There are a few teams who have expressed interest in Springer in the past. He is someone that teams would trade for in exchange for a second-round pick.
