Rookie Dariq Whitehead went 5-on-5 at a Long Island Nets practice Tuesday as the G League affiliate opened its training camp in Westbury, a Brooklyn insider tells NetsDaily.
It would be a significant milestone for Whitehead, the NBA’s second youngest player, Since his foot surgery and draft back in June, Whitehead has been recovering and rehabbing in Brooklyn. On October 9, Whitehead told beat writers that he had advanced to 1-on-1 contact drills and hoped to be going 5-on-5 in “a couple of weeks.”
No word on when he might be ready to play, either in Long Island or Brooklyn.
