In exchange for veteran center Nazr Mohammed, the Charlotte Bobcats acquired former first-round pick D.J. White from the Oklahoma City Thunder during the 2020-11 season. White appeared in 84 games for the Bobcats over three seasons in two separate stints with the franchise. In those games, the Indiana alum averaged 7.1 points, 3.8 rebounds, 0.7 assists and 0.4 blocks in 18.7 minutes per game.

After two games with Charlotte in his sixth and final NBA season during the 2013-14 campaign, White moved on to play professionally overseas. He did so until 2022, suiting up for a plethora of teams before his eventual retirement.
