Ms Whyte is a member of Scotland’s 3×3 basketball team.
The tournament in the Netherlands was the team’s last chance to face opposition before the Commonwealth Games start on Thursday.
She said her chair was dismantled for the flight and when they arrived, only the wheels could be found.
Robyn Love – who plays for Scotland and Loughborough Lightning with Ms Whyte – confirmed on Twitter that the missing part had now been located.

She said the frame was found in Amsterdam and was being flown back to the UK.
It comes just in time with the team due to move to the athletes’ village in Birmingham later.

“The passenger has been informed, and we are all working to ensure that the wheelchair is delivered quickly and safely.
