Boston Celtics guard Derrick White was named the 2025-26 NBA Sportsmanship Award winner on Thursday.
White, 31, receives the Joe Dumars Trophy, named for the inaugural award recipient and Hall of Fame guard.
He is the second consecutive Celtics player to win the award following guard Jrue Holiday in 2024-25.
Presented since 1995-96, the award honors a player who best represents the ideals of sportsmanship on the court.
Each NBA team nominated one of its players and a panel of league executives selected six finalists, one from each division. Current NBA players voted to select the winner.
White received 77 first-place votes and 2,826 total points to finish ahead of Indiana Pacers guard T.J. McConnell (83 first-place votes and 2,566 points) and San Antonio Spurs forward Harrison Barnes (73 and 2,466).
White averaged 16.5 points, 5.4 assists, 4.4 rebounds, 1.3 blocks and 1.1 steals in 77 games (all starts) this season for Boston.
An NBA champion with the Celtics in 2023-24 and a gold medal winner with Team USA at the 2024 Paris Olympics, White is a two-time member of the NBA All-Defensive Team.
