While he was in town during the NBA All-Star break, the Buffaloes held a ceremony for him Saturday.

The Colorado men’s basketball team immortalized Derrick White on Saturday afternoon.

White, who had free time during the NBA All-Star break, was added to the Buffaloes Wall of Honor during Colorado’s home game against UCF, which the team called “Derrick White Day.” The Buffaloes held a ceremony to unveil White’s jersey hanging high above the court.

White is among the first 10 honorees in the Wall of Honor, which Colorado announced prior to the beginning of this season. Colorado’s focus is on former players who “achieved at least five years of service in the NBA,” according to the team’s website.

Among the other names are Chauncey Billups, Alec Burks, Spencer Dinwiddie, and more.

“CU means a lot to me,” White said. “A kid that grew up in Colorado, it was always a dream to go play at the best school in Colorado.”

White averaged 18.1 points and 4.4 rebounds per game with the Buffaloes before being drafted by the San Antonio Spurs in 2017. Once the Celtics traded for White, he blossomed in his role and was a key figure in Boston’s championship run last season.

White still actively supports the Buffaloes, and has been in attendance at Colorado football games during Deion Sanders’s tenure as head coach of the program. Now, his No. 21 jersey will live on at his alma mater and hometown college team.

White and the Celtics return to action on Thursday night, taking on the 76ers in Philadelphia.
