Boston Celtics legend JoJo White has tragically passed away at just 71 years old after a battle with cancer, Steve Bulpett reportedly Tuesday evening.
Just received a call from one of JoJo White's old teammates to say the Celtic legend has passed away at 71 after his battle with cancer. A 2015 Hall of Fame inductee, JoJo was a seven-time All-Star and MVP of the 1976 Finals. No. 10 is retired in his honor.

The NBA Hall of Famer was a two-time NBA champion, seven-time All-Star and MVP of the 1976 NBA Finals.
He played 12 seasons in the NBA, including more than nine with the Celtics, 1.5 with the Golden State Warriors and one year with the New York Knicks. He played five seasons at Kansas before jumping to the NBA.
Our thoughts and prayers are with his friends and family.
