Rotowire
Whitehead logged 17 points (5-13 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds and one assist in 26 minutes during Thursday's 105-90 loss to the Timberwolves.
Whitehead scored double-digits for just the third time all season, playing at least 15 minutes for the third straight game. While this was an encouraging performance by Whitehead, it remains to be seen whether he will stick as a consistent part of the rotation for the remainder of the season.

Nets' Dariq Whitehead: Assigned to G League
Rotowire
Brooklyn assigned Whitehead to the Long Island Nets on Friday.
Whitehead returned from a right knee injury to play against the Spurs on Tuesday. He played only two minutes in that game and was a healthy scratch for Brooklyn's 121-119 loss to Golden State on Thursday. His last G League action was Feb. 25 against the Westchester Knicks, and he should have the opportunity to see more reps and playing time with Long Island.

Nets' Dariq Whitehead: Out again Friday
Rotowire
Whitehead (knee) has been ruled out for Friday's contest against Portland.
Since he was recalled from the G League, Whitehead has missed the last two games due to his knee injury.

His next opportunity to play is Saturday versus the Pistons.

Nets' Dariq Whitehead: Out Wednesday with knee injury
Rotowire
Whitehead is listed as out for Wednesday's game against the Thunder due to a right knee injury.
Whitehead likely sustained the knee injury during his most recent appearance in the G League for the Long Island Nets on Tuesday, when he was limited to playing 13 minutes in a 119-117 win over the Westchester Knicks. The second-year wing's absence for Wednesday's game won't affect head coach Jordi Fernandez's rotation.

Nets' Dariq Whitehead: Clears concussion protocol
Rotowire
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
Rotowire
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.

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

Nets' Dariq Whitehead: Pours in 18 points
Rotowire
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.
