In the NBA regular season, the Celtics lost to the 76ers 116-117 at home. After the game, Derrick White was interviewed.

Talking about Cota's performance, White said: "He performed very well. First of all, he is ready to play at any time. Obviously, he is a huge target at the basket. At the same time, his touch near the basket is also very soft. This is the Cota we need all year."

In this campaign, Cota scored 17 points and 8 rebounds.
