The Nuggets plan to waive Whittington on Thursday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
Denver will sign Shaquille Harrison to a two-way deal, filling one of the two slots that had previously been occupied by Whittington. After going undrafted out of Georgetown in 2015, Whittington finally got the chance to make his NBA debut this season, appearing in four games for Denver and averaging 3.0 minutes. The 28-year-old struggled to overcome a preseason knee injury that required surgery, and though he hasn't been featured on Denver's injury report for the past week, the organization apparently didn't feel he was a worthwhile developmental option.

Nuggets' Greg Whittington: Questionable Tuesday
Rotowire
Whittington (knee) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the 76ers.
The 28-year-old was considered doubtful for the past two contests before ultimately sitting out, so the fact he's considered questionable indicates he's progressing in his recovery. Whittington has played sparingly this season and is unlikely to have much of an on-court impact once cleared.

Rotowire

Whittington was doubtful for Sunday's contest due to left knee soreness, so it's not very surprising to see him inactive against Atlanta. His next chance to return will be Tuesday against the 76ers, although his absence shouldn't have an impact on the Nuggets' rotation.

Nuggets' Greg Whittington: Dresses, but doesn't play
Rotowire
Whittington (knee) suited up for Thursday's 112-110 loss to the Wizards but wasn't summoned from the bench.
Whittington was active for the first time in his NBA career after the Nuggets cleared him to dress after he missed the first three months of the season while recovering from a left knee injury that eventually required arthroscopic surgery. The two-way rookie unsurprisingly went unused in a tight game, and he's unlikely to be a regular factor in head coach Michael Malone's rotation this season.

Nuggets' Greg Whittington: Upgraded to questionable
Rotowire
The Nuggets list Whittington (knee) as questionable for Thursday's game against the Wizards.
Whittington was previously listed as doubtful, so the Nuggets may have been encouraged with how the big man fared during the team's morning shootaround. The two-way rookie has been sidelined all season with a left knee injury, for which he later went arthroscopic surgery in January. Whittington looks like he's nearly ready to make his NBA debut, but even if available Thursday, he probably won't see the court outside of a garbage-time scenario.

Rotowire
Whittington (knee) is doubtful for Thursday's game against the Wizards, Mike Singer of The Denver Post reports.
Whittington has yet to play this season while recovering from left knee surgery.

He probably won't play Thursday, but his NBA debut could be around the corner.
