Former Denver Nuggets and Miami Heat Player Signs With New Team
It was announced on Tuesday by Metros de Santiago, a professional basketball team in the Dominican Republic, that the club had signed former NBA power forward Greg Whittington. First signing with the Miami Heat in 2015, Whittington only appeared in Summer League, preseason, and G League games for Miami, but did finally make his NBA debut with the Denver Nuggets in 2021.
Signing a two-way contract with Denver in November of 2020, Whittington appeared in four games before being waived in April of 2021. At the time of his signing, Whittington was coming off an impressive season with Galatasaray of the Turkish BSL, but never got much of an opportunity in Denver, partially due to injuries.
