Despite not being in the 2023 NBA postseason, San Antonio Spurs’ fans have been vocal about rooting for their ex-players, who are currently playing in the playoffs. Amongst these players are Derrick White and Dejounte Murray, who started their NBA careers in San Antonio but were traded as part of the franchise's rebuild. While Murray made public comments about his time with the Spurs when traded to Atlanta, White had a quiet exit during his trade to Boston, and this behavior seems to have won over the Spurs’ loyalists. Many Spurs’ fans are rooting for White and the Boston Celtics over Murray’s Hawks, with several expressing their support for White and calling for his victory. Some fans are even suggesting that the Celtics sign the young guard to a more secure deal. White earned Mazzulla's confidence early on, and his strong contribution on both ends of the court has earned him a spot in the Celtics’ starting lineup for 70 of 82 games played this past season. The 28-year-old also took a significant jump in his defensive stats, averaging 0.7 steals and 0.9 blocks this season, making him the second among all point guards in the league in these categories. Whether Boston wins the playoffs remains to be seen, but it is quite evident that Spurs’ fans are rooting for their former player.
