Jacari White emerged as one of the most reliable long‑range threats in college basketball during the 2025‑26 season, leading the Virginia Cavaliers in three‑point makes and shooting a career‑high 43.4 percent from beyond the arc.
He averaged 9.4 points per game, capped by a season‑high 26‑point performance in the Cavaliers’ NCAA tournament win over Wright State, and even set a school record with 12 consecutive three‑pointers over a three‑game stretch.
White missed five midseason games after breaking his wrist while dunking against Maryland, a setback that briefly slowed his momentum but did not diminish his reputation as a fan favorite in Charlottesville.
A New Chapter in Antwerp
Although the Los Angeles Lakers signed him to their summer‑league roster, White never saw action in their opening game, leaving the door open for other professional opportunities.
Windrose Giants Antwerp, the defending BNXT League champions, announced his signing to a guaranteed one‑year contract, emphasizing that the Belgian powerhouse is eager to bolster its perimeter shooting ahead of the new season.
He becomes the fourth member of Virginia’s 2026‑27 squad to secure a professional contract, joining teammates such as Thijs De Ridder, Ugonna Onyenso, Malik Thomas and Devin Tillis in the next chapter of their careers.
