Derrick White regrets argument with fan at Colorado Buffaloes game, but lies about his injury

NBA champion Derrick White wishes he could take back that terrible fight caught on video while attending the college football matchup between Colorado and Colorado State.

On Sept. 14, a CSU fan hit the CU alum with a spinning backfist, which caused Celtics and Buffs fans to cry foul.

Speaking to the Boston media Tuesday, White expressed serious regret for getting involved in the physical altercation.

White’s hat spun from the hard shot, and the whole thing was caught on camera … which isn’t a great look for anyone … especially an NBA All-Star. Thankfully he didn’t suffer any injuries stemming from the dispute.

“The Colorado situation is unfortunate,” White admitted Tuesday.

The Mile High Melee broke out in the third quarter over an alleged verbal dispute. 

White and the Buffs had the last laugh, beating the underdog, bloodthirsty Rams, 28-9.

“Honestly, I never thought I would be in this situation,” White added. “Actually, I didn't get hit. He just ripped my hat off.”

Upon reviewing the tape, it appeared that White had been hit, despite his claim that he was unharmed.

As Sean Joseph of OutKick wrote about the incident, White appeared to stagger back after taking the backfist to his shiny head.

Celtics fans strongly supported White, who played a crucial role in the fight for the 2024 championship.

“Celtics fans need to find the guy who beat our king,” one fan declared.

The viral moment of a fan begging his drunken opponent not to hit “Derrick White” was a good reminder to leave drunk idiots alone at sporting events.
