Whittington

Whittington has struggled to remain healthy this season due to a left knee issue, and he wasn’t a rotation player when cleared to play. He’s being waived in order to free up a roster spot for Shaq Harrison, who will be signed to a two-way contract.

Whittington isn’t a rotation player on most nights so, at best, he’s available to provide emergency depth if needed. Leave hm on the waiver wire.

Whittington isn’t part of the rotation and his status won’t change fantasy managers’ decisions.

Whittington isn’t a part of the rotation and his absence won’t change much for fantasy managers.

Whittington isn’t a rotation player when healthy, so his absence will be of little consequence in relation to fantasy basketball.

Whittington, who underwent knee surgery in mid-January, has yet to appear in a game since signing a two-way deal with the Nuggets this past offseason. Even if cleared to play Thursday night, he can be left on the waiver wire.

It was relatively minor arthroscopic surgery, so hopefully Whittington will be back to full strength within a few months. He’s not in the Nuggets’ rotation anyway, so they can afford to be extremely thorough with his recovery.

We’ll update when Whittington’s injury makes meaningful progress, but he’s unlikely to join the Nuggets rotation, even when healthy.

Whittington, a two-way player, can be kept on the waiver wire.

Murray may have picked up the injury vs. the Kings on Wednesday, and this helps explain away his 1-of-9 shooting line in that season-opening loss. Fortunately, it doesn’t sound like the injury will prevent him from going to work vs. Patrick Beverley and co. on Friday. Denver won’t quite be at full strength, however, as JaMychal Green (left calf strain) and Greg Whittington (left knee strain) are both out.
