Miami's Hassan Whiteside (knee) practicing but will not play on Saturday

Miami Heat center Hassan Whiteside (knee) has resumed practicing but will not play on Saturday, per Ira Winderman of the Miami Sune-Sentinel.

What It Means:

Whiteside will miss his fourth consecutive game with a knee injury and is still likely another week away from a return. Jordan Mickey started two games without Whiteside while rookie Bam Adebayo started on Wednesday.

Our models project Whiteside for 15.5 points, 13.5 rebounds, and 2.1 blocks per game the rest of the season.
