The Long Island Nets returned to the court on Tuesday night, hoping to stack wins as they make a push for a playoff spot. This time, Long Island found themselves in White Plains to take on the Westchester Knicks in a “Battle of the ‘Burbs” match-up.
Long Island came away with the gritty two-point win, 119-117 and celebrated Kendall Brown’s new two-way contract. But the big news coming out of this game was the loss of Dariq Whitehead. Early on in the second quarter, Whitehead took a hard foul and apparently injured his right leg. He remained in the game despite being in some obvious pain.
