Erik Slater: Asked Jordi Fernandez if Dariq Whitehead will join the Nets for NBA reps over the final 14 games of the season: "We want him to keep doing his job in Long Island... I believe they have six [games] left and if they win out, they have a chance [to make the playoffs]. So for us, winning is very, very important. Creating that culture, competing, and having a chance to play in the playoffs. It’s not just him, but it’s him Tyson, Tosan, and everybody else on that team. Because that’s our club, so we want those guys to do very well. It’s not about Dariq. It’s about us, it’s about the group, it’s about the team. If we do need bodies here, for sure, I’ll be happy to play him. He’s done a good job, he’s worked hard. Right now, what we’re trying to accomplish is bigger than just one player. We want that [playoff] push." pic.x.com/tI8fCmXyx8
