LONG ISLAND - The Long Island Nets, the NBA G League affiliate of the Brooklyn Nets, have acquired guard Terrico White from the available player pool.

In addition, he played with Gigantes de Carolina of the BSN, averaging 12.7 points, 4.0 rebounds and 2.6 assists in seven games (all starts). White played in the Korean Basketball League with the Changwon LG Sakers and the Seoul Samsung Thunders in the 2020-21 campaign before his stint in Puerto Rico.
The Memphis, Tenn., native was drafted by the Detroit Pistons with the 36th overall pick in the second round of the 2010 NBA Draft after playing two collegiate seasons (2008-10) at Ole Miss, recording career averages of 14.5 points, 4.0 rebounds and 3.4 assists in 30.8 minutes per game over 66 games (55 starts).
