  • Nets' Dariq Whitehead: Recalled to NBA

    Brooklyn recalled Whitehead from the G League's Long Island Nets on Tuesday.

    Whitehead is coming off an impressive performance in Tuesday's 111-85 win over Windy City in the G League, finishing with 20 points and six rebounds in 31 minutes. He'll be available for Wednesday's game against the 76ers to provide some emergency depth for the team.

  • Nets' Dariq Whitehead: Headed to G League

    The Nets assigned Whitehead to the G League's Long Island Nets on Tuesday.

    Whitehead has appeared in just three of Brooklyn's last 10 outings. The 20-year-old forward should receive increased playing time while in the G League.

  • Nets' Dariq Whitehead: Back with parent club

    Brooklyn recalled Whitehead from the G League's Long Island Nets on Wednesday.

    The Nets are expected to be without multiple key rotation players Wednesday against the Suns in the second leg of a back-to-back set, so Whitehead will be back with the parent club to provide depth on the wing. The 2023 first-round pick has appeared in seven games for Brooklyn this season, averaging 5.9 minutes.

  • Nets' Dariq Whitehead: Clears concussion protocol

    Whitehead (concussion) is available for Sunday's game against the Nets, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports.

    Whitehead missed the Nets' last two games due to a concussion, but he has cleared the NBA's protocol and will return Sunday. The second-year forward out of Duke has played sparingly this season, but he could see meaningful minutes off the bench as the Nets deal with multiple injuries including Cam Thomas (hamstring) and D'Angelo Russell (lower leg).

  • Nets' Dariq Whitehead: Iffy for Sunday

    Whitehead (concussion) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Jazz, Sharif Phillips-Keaton of USA Today reports.

    Whitehead has missed the past two games for Brooklyn, but he's been upgraded to day-to-day. If he does get the green light to play, Whitehead won't be guaranteed any minutes as he's been out of the rotation for most of the season.

  • Nets' Dariq Whitehead: Still out Friday

    Whitehead (concussion) has been ruled out for Friday's game against Denver, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports.

    Whitehead remains in the league's concussion protocol and will miss his second consecutive game Friday. The forward hasn't been able to consistently crack the rotation this season, during which he has averaged 4.2 points across 6.0 minutes per contest in five regular-season appearances.

  • Nets' Dariq Whitehead: Enters concussion protocol

    Whitehead entered the concussion protocol Wednesday and will miss Brooklyn's game versus Detroit, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports.

    Whitehead hasn't been in Brooklyn's rotation recently, so his absence doesn't have many fantasy implications. He's made only five appearances at the NBA level this season, logging 30 minutes in total.

  • Nets' Dariq Whitehead: Back from G League

    Brooklyn recalled Whitehead from the G League's Long Island Nets on Monday, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports.

    Whitehead will be available for Monday's game against the Pacers, and given that Brooklyn will be down several players due to injury, he could find himself in the rotation.

  • Nets' Dariq Whitehead: Returns from G League

    Brooklyn recalled Whitehead from the G League's Long Island Nets on Sunday.

    With the Nets expected to be sellers at the trade deadline, Whitehead is someone who could find himself with a larger role in the near future. He's unlikely to be included in the rotation in Monday's game against the Heat, however.

  • Nets' Dariq Whitehead: Pours in 18 points

    Whitehead ended Monday's 128-102 loss to Chicago with 18 points (6-11 FG, 6-10 3Pt), two rebounds, one assist, one block and two steals in 24 minutes.

    Playing in just his fifth career game, the second-year forward posted multiple career highs for the shorthanded Nets. Fantasy managers will obviously need to see him do it again, but Whitehead is worth monitoring in deeper fantasy formats with the Nets dealing with several injuries on top of their veterans being rumored to be available on the trade market.

  • Nets' Dariq Whitehead: Back from G League

    Brooklyn recalled Whitehead from the G League's Long Island Nets on Monday, Evan Barnes of Newsday reports.

    With Dennis Schroder's (ankle) status for Monday's game against the Warriors uncertain, Whitehead has been called up to provide some emergency depth in the backcourt.

  • Nets' Dariq Whitehead: Team option exercised

    The Nets exercised their 2025-26 team option for Whitehead on Monday, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.

    The Nets also picked up Noah Clowney's option. Whitehead isn't a rotation player for Brooklyn just yet, but the Nets clearly value him as a developmental project.

  • Nets' Dariq Whitehead: Starting in Summer League

    Whitehead is in the starting lineup for the Nets' Summer League game against the Clippers on Sunday, Law Murray of The Athletic reports.

    Whitehead appears to have made a full recovery from a procedure he had in January to address a left shin stress reaction, and has started in both the Nets Summer League games this far. Whitehead played 28 minutes Friday against Indiana and generated five points (1-12 FG, 0-7 3Pt, 3-4 FT), six rebounds, an assist, three steals and two blocks.

  • Nets' Dariq Whitehead: Undergoes successful surgery

    Whitehead underwent successful season-ending surgery on his left shin stress reaction Monday and is expected to need three months to recover, Evan Barnes of Newsday reports.

    As expected, Whitehead will miss the remainder of the 2023-24 season due to the injury, but despite a third surgery in two years, the rookie is expected to be a full participant during the Nets' offseason development program this summer. The Duke product was one of the top high school prospects in 2022 but underwent a procedure on his right foot before his freshman season and needed another surgery following the campaign because the injury didn't heal properly. Injury concerns didn't prevent Brooklyn from using the 22nd overall pick in 2023 to draft Whitehead, and the 19-year-old could still have a bright future if he's able to stay on the court consistently.

  • Nets' Dariq Whitehead: Out for rest of season

    Nets head coach Jacque Vaughn said Saturday that Whitehead will undergo season-ending surgery to address a stress reaction to his left shin, Erik Slater of ClutchPoints.com reports.

    Whitehead was one of the top high school prospects in the 2022 signing class and the MVP of the McDonald's All-American Game, but his long-term outlook has been hindered since he began his college career at Duke in 2022-23. He underwent surgery on his right foot prior to the start of his freshman season, but after turning in solid but unspectacular numbers over his 28 games with Duke, he required another surgery in June after his foot didn't properly heal from the first procedure. Despite Whitehead's health concerns, the Nets still opted to select him with the 22nd overall pick in the 2023 NBA Draft, but he made just two appearances with Brooklyn and 17 in the G League before suffering another lower-body injury. With another major surgery on tap, the 19-year-old Whitehead might not be ready to play during the 2024 Las Vegas Summer League and could even face restrictions for the start of training camp in the fall.

  • Nets' Dariq Whitehead: Suffers stress reaction

    The Nets announced Thursday that Whitehead is out indefinitely after he was diagnosed with a left shin stress reaction, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports.

    Treatment options are still being evaluated for the rookie first-round pick, but it's likely that Whitehead will miss multiple weeks. The injury is a discouraging setback for Whitehead, whose NBA career had already gotten off to a delayed start after he underwent surgery on his right foot in June prior to being drafted. He has made just two appearances for the Nets this season with a total of 24 minutes played.

  • Nets' Dariq Whitehead: To remain out Wednesday

    Whitehead (foot) won't play in Wednesday's game versus the Trail Blazers.

    Whitehead's absence won't affect Brooklyn's rotation. The rookie forward's next chance to suit up is Friday's matchup with the Lakers.

  • Nets' Dariq Whitehead: Not available Monday

    Whitehead is listed as out for Monday's game against the Heat for right foot injury maintenance.

    Whitehead hadn't played in a game at the G League level since last Wednesday prior to his call-up to Brooklyn earlier Monday, so his lack of availability comes as somewhat of a surprise. The Nets have eased the rookie first-round pick along slowly this season after he underwent surgery on his right foot in June, as he's regularly taken games off during particularly busy portions of the G League schedule.
