Whitehead totaled 26 points (11-21 FG, 4-11 3Pt), four rebounds and one assist across 39 minutes during Sunday's 132-101 loss to the Rockets.
A 2023 first-round draft pick of Brooklyn, Whitehead struggled to stay healthy over his first two seasons in the league, appearing in just 22 games for the Nets. After being waived in October, Whitehead spent most of the season with the Thunder's G League affiliate before inking a 10-day deal with Memphis on April 3. He saw extensive playing time for the injury riddled Grizzlies down the stretch, appearing in the team's final six games while averaging 16.3 points, 4.0 rebounds, 3.2 three-pointers and 1.5 assists in 30.5 minutes. With his contract expiring Monday, Whitehead will become an unrestricted free agent.
