White (teeth) will start the second half of Thursday's game against the 76ers, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.
White (teeth) is probable to return during Thursday's game against the 76ers, Jay King of The Athletic reports.
White exited to the locker room after sustaining an apparent facial injury during the second quarter of Thursday's game against Philadelphia, John Karalis of BostonSportsJournal.com reports.
Boston was already shorthanded on Wednesday and will have even fewer options available against Philadelphia. Tatum and White are the only two typical starters available. Peterson will make his first start of the season, but Payton Pritchard will likely fill out more minutes after scoring 43 points on Wednesday.
While Brown played in Wednesday's win over the Trail Blazers, Holiday has missed Boston's last three games. Thursday makes four straight on the sideline for Holiday, and his absence boosts the values of Derrick White and Payton Pritchard, who combined to score 84 points on Wednesday. As for Brown, Jayson Tatum is questionable after not playing against Portland. He would undoubtedly help account for JB's absence, and Jordan Walsh should again play rotation minutes off the bench.
