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.

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.
Recalled to NBA
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 to be determined, Whitehead has been called up to provide some emergency depth in the backcourt.
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.
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.
