White was signed by San Antonio on Nov. 3. In a total of 27 games, he has yet to see any action with the Spurs, appearing on the inactive list 26 times and registering one did not play (coach's decision).

In eight preseason games with Indiana, he averaged 3.8 points and 2.0 rebounds in 17.5 minutes of action. He was waived by the Pacers on Oct. 31.

An honorable mention All-Big East selection, White led the University of Cincinnati Bearcats in scoring (16.3) and free-throw percentage (.838) during the 2005-06 season.

White is expected to be in uniform when the Toros (1-12) take on Idaho (5-7) on Saturday at the Austin Convention Center. Tip off is scheduled for 7 p.m. CT
