White is set to sign with the reigning German champions for the remainder of the season, per sources.

Most recently, White played for Melbourne United, helping the team reach the 2024-25 NBL Championship Series.

He averaged 13.3 points (59.3% 2FG, 36.1% 3FG), 8.9 rebounds, 1.5 assists, and 0.8 steals per game before declining his player option for the 2025-26 season.

Bayern currently sits in the EuroLeague's top five with two rounds left in the regular season. However, since the player registration deadline has passed, White will only be eligible to compete in the German Bundesliga, where Bayern leads the standings.

From 2022 to 2024, White appeared in 21 NBA games with the Denver Nuggets and Memphis Grizzlies, averaging 1.3 points and 1.4 rebounds in 6.2 minutes per game.

He won an NBA championship with Denver in 2023 and an NBL title with Melbourne in 2021.
