Hassan Whiteside (personal) will not play for Heat Friday
Miami Heat center Hassan Whiteside (personal) is not traveling with the team and will not play against the Phoenix Suns on Friday.
What It Means:
Whiteside is away from the team to tend to the birth of his first child, so it's not related to any disciplinary action for going to the locker room early on Tuesday. Friday's game is the front end of a back-to-back set, so consider Whiteside questionable for Saturday's matchup with the Los Angeles Clippers. Bam Adebayo and Kelly Olynyk will benefit while Whiteside is sidelined.
Whiteside is averaging 40.1 FanDuel points through 22 games. numberFire's models project him for 14.9 points, 10.1 rebounds, and 1.8 blocks per contest over the rest of the year.
