Whiteside (personal), who is out Wednesday against the Jazz, will re-join the Heat sometime during the team's road trip, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
EDGE Analysis
Whiteside is set to miss a fourth straight game due to a personal matter Wednesday. The only two games remaining on Miami's road trip is a Friday matchup against the Grizzlies and a Sunday game against the Pelicans. Once Whiteside returns, Bam Adebayo should return to the bench.

Whiteside (personal) is out Saturday against the Clippers.

Whiteside will not travel with the Heat for Friday's game against the Suns due to the potential birth of his child, Tim Reynolds of the Associated Press reports.
EDGE Analysis
The trip to Phoenix is the beginning of a six-game road trip out West for the Heat, so it's unclear when, if at any time, Whiteside will rejoin the team. The last time Whiteside missed a game, Bam Adebayo got the start while Kelly Olynyk saw additional time off the bench, and the two will likely split time at center once again in the big man's absence.

Whiteside finished with 12 points (6-7 FG, 0-2 FT), nine rebounds, three blocks, one assist and one steal across 25 minutes Tuesday in the Heat's 105-90 loss to the Magic.
EDGE Analysis
While Whiteside's line was useful enough, it still probably registered as a disappointment for those who rolled with him in DFS lineups coming off a 23-point, 20-rebound game against Utah two days earlier. Perhaps more than his on-court performance, Whiteside drew the most headlines Tuesday for leaving the bench and heading for the locker room before the game even concluded. Per ESPN.com, coach Erik Spoelstra said he didn't receive an explanation about the abrupt departure from Whiteside, who went unused in the fourth quarter while Bam Adebayo manned center. Even if the Heat are able to quickly defuse the situation, it's not a great look for Whiteside, who routinely groused about his late-game usage in 2017-18.

Whiteside finished with 23 points (11-17 FG, 1-6 FT), 20 rebounds, three blocks, two assists, and one steal in 34 minutes during Sunday's 102-100 victory over the Jazz.
EDGE Analysis
Whiteside came out on top in the battle of the big men Sunday, posting a 23 and 20 double-double. He outplayed Rudy Gobert as the Heat fought back from an early deficit to record a narrow two-point victory. Whiteside continues to turn back the clock after a disappointing 2017-18 campaign. His playing time is relatively steady no matter the opponent which in itself, is a big step forward after last season.

Whiteside registered 11 points (5-8 FG, 1-7 FT), 10 rebounds, two steals and two blocks across 25 minutes in Tuesday's 115-113 loss to the Hawks.
EDGE Analysis
After putting up uncharacteristically poor numbers his last time out due to foul trouble, Whiteside returned to his double-double ways Tuesday night, although it wasn't the prettiest effort by any means. Nonetheless, this game represents the floor for a player like Whiteside and should be improved upon moving forward.

Whiteside (knee) is not listed on the injury report ahead of Friday's game against the Bulls.
EDGE Analysis
Whiteside sat out of Wednesday's practice while managing tendinitis in his knee. That issue apparently won't limit him from playing Friday, though, as he'll be expected to fulfill his normal role for the Heat against a struggling Bulls team.

Whiteside didn't practice Wednesday due to knee tendinitis, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
EDGE Analysis
Whiteside seems to have come out of Tuesday's game against the Nets with some knee soreness. He racked up 21 points, 21 rebounds, two blocks and a steal in 32 minutes. Whiteside should tentatively be considered questionable for Friday's game at Chicago.
