Efficient in return Whitehead ended with 10 points (4-7 FG, 2-4 3Pt), four rebounds and one steal across 25 minutes during Saturday's 69-62 OT loss to Virginia.
Impact Whitehead was back on the court for the first time since Jan. 23 after missing four games due to a lower-leg injury. Even with limited run, the five-star freshman extended his double-digit scoring streak to three games despite facing one of the tougher matchups in the ACC. Whitehead had worked his way into the starting lineup in the five games prior to injury, though that was largely due to Jeremy Roach sitting out with a toe injury, and the veteran point guard has since returned. Whether or not Whitehead eventually reclaims a starting role, it appears he'll be in line to serve as an effective fantasy option moving forward.

Moving around Wednesday Head coach Jon Scheyer said that Whitehead (lower leg) participated in a non-contact practice Wednesday, Stephen Wiseman of The Raleigh News & Observer reports.
Impact Whitehead has now missed four consecutive matchups as a result of the lower-left leg sprain he sustained back on Jan. 23 versus Virginia Tech, and in order for him to suit up Saturday against Virginia, he'll at least have to partake in full-contact work at some point prior, per Wiseman. Once the 6-foot-7 freshman is eventually cleared for game action, he'll likely face a minutes restriction and/or come off the bench to ease his way back into the rotation.

Out at Miami Whitehead (lower leg) will sit out Duke's game Monday at Miami, according to Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports.
Impact Whitehead will have sat out both of Duke's games across early-February. Currently, his next opportunity to return is at Virginia on Saturday. Duke's head coach Jon Scheyer said Whitehead was "close to full health" after the team recently hosted North Carolina. But because he must sit out again Monday, his availability status will be questionable before Saturday.

Impact Duke's head coach Jon Scheyer said Whitehead is "close to full health" before the Blue Devils visit Miami. If their injured forward must sit out, he will receive five days of rest until they are at Virginia on Saturday. Whitehead is expected to be probable more than questionable in that case.

Impact After missing Saturday's contest as a result of the lower-leg injury he sustained Jan. 23 versus Virginia Tech, Whitehead's status still appears cloudy despite his recent MRI test results that revealed encouraging news. Should the 6-foot-7 freshman eventually remain sidelined Tuesday against the Demon Deacons, Mark Mitchell and Jacob Grandison should both take on additional minutes in his absence.
