After a preseason right foot surgery did not properly heal, Duke freshman forward Dariq Whitehead -- a projected first-round pick in the June NBA draft -- will undergo a second foot procedure and is expected to be fully recovered for the start of the NBA's regular season, his representatives at Excel Sports Management told ESPN on Friday.
Whitehead, who underwent a procedure on the fifth metatarsal bone in his right foot in August, recently met with several foot specialists and it was determined that a second procedure is necessary to properly repair the injury, his agents said.
