Boston Celtics star Derrick White clearly ain’t happy that he was involved in a melee at the Colorado vs. Colorado State game earlier this month … telling journalists Tuesday, “I shouldn’t have been there.”
White spoke briefly on the matter while out at his team’s media day … when a reporter questioned how he was doing some 10 days after he was whacked in the head during a scuffle at the big Sept. 14 rivalry game in Fort Collins.
White said he was feeling just fine — revealing his advisory’s spinning back fist didn’t connect flush — but he did appear to be embarrassed over it all.
“Honestly, the Colorado situation is unfortunate,” the 30-year-old former Buffaloes star said. “I never thought I’d be in that situation, honestly.”
“I didn’t actually get hit,” he continued. “He just hit my hat off. But, yeah, I shouldn’t have been there. It’s unfortunate.”
White said he’s now working to just “move on” from it all.
The hooper had been having quite the summer before the incident … he helped the Celtics win a championship in June, before he won a gold medal with Team USA in August in Paris.
