Isaiah Whitehead scores 52, G-League season high, in big win

After a week when he was named in a Yahoo! Sports report on the NCAA basketball recruiting scandal, the 22-year-old stepped on the court in Greensboro and scored 52 points to set a new Long Island Nets single game record. Whitehead’s total topped the 42 points Milton Doyle scored on February 3 which in turn had topped Jeremy Senglin’s 40 points recorded the week before.

It was also the G-League season high. Long Island has now won four of its last five as it makes a big end-of-the-season playoff run.

Whitehead shot 19-of-29 overall, 4-of-8 from three and went to the line 12 times, making 10.
