The Long Island Nets, featuring returning G Leaguers, NBA two-ways and the two youngest draft picks in Brooklyn Nets history, will open their 2023-24 season at Nassau Coliseum Friday night vs. Raptors 905, Toronto’s G League affiliate.
The game could very well be Nets fans’ first look at 6’7” Dariq Whitehead, who’s been recovering from June foot surgery. The 19-year-old Duke product was taken at No. 22 in the June Draft, but hasn’t played yet, not in Summer League, preseason nor regular season. He and the No. 21 pick, 6’10” Noah Clowney, will highlight the 2023-24 roster.
