Whiteside (knee) is available, but will not start Wednesday versus the Heat, Jason Liesser of The Palm Beach Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

There has been a lot of confusion regarding Whiteside's status Wednesday evening. Whiteside first indicated after warmups that he would play, but it was then reported that he was a late scratch. It has no been confirmed that he will not start, but still remain available. The Heat will likely only play Whiteside if necessary Wednesday.

Whiteside (knee) is a late scratch Wednesday versus the Clippers, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

EDGE Analysis

Whiteside went through warm ups and indicated that he was going to play, so this comes as a surprise. Justice Winslow is expected to slide into the starting rotation in an effort to replace Whiteside. This will be the second consecutive game missed for the Heat's big man. His next opportunity to play will be Friday versus the Nuggets.

Whiteside (knee) is on track to play Wednesday versus the Heat, Jason Lieser of The Palm Beach Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Whiteside missed the Heat's previous contest, and was a true game-time decision heading into Wednesday. Head coach Erik Spoelstra has indicated that Whiteside will warm up and intend to play. While he could be on a short leash due his knee, there should be plenty of potential available in the frontcourt as the Clippers will be without Blake Griffin and DeAndre Jordan.

Whiteside (knee) is a game-time decision after going through Wednesday morning's shootaround, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

EDGE Analysis

Whiteside was held out of Monday's loss to the Warriors with right knee tendinitis and there's a chance he'll miss his second straight game due to the injury. The Heat will likely wait until Whiteside goes through pregame warmups to see if is able to make a go at playing. If he is held out, look for Chris Bosh to take over as center, shifting Luol Deng to power forward, and Justice Winslow grabbing the start at small forward.

Whiteside (knee) is being considered questionable for Wednesday's game against the Clippers, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

EDGE Analysis

Whiteside was held out of Monday's loss to the Warriors with right knee tendinitis, but it's not clear if one night off will provide sufficient recovery time for him. In the big man's stead Monday, the Heat went with a small-ball starting lineup that featured Justise Winslow at small forward, Luol Deng at power forward, and Chris Bosh at center, and the team would likely utilize a similar arrangement Wednesday if Whiteside can't play.

Whiteside (knee) will not play Monday in Golden State, Jason Lieser of The Palm Beach Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

This does not come as much of a surprise considering the Heat downgraded Whiteside to doubtful about an hour before tip-off. Miami has opted to go small in Whiteside's absence, starting Justice Winslow at the three and Luol Deng at the four. Whitesides next opportunity to return will be Wednesday versus the Clippers.

Whiteside (knee) has been downgraded to doubtful for Monday's tilt in Golden State.

EDGE Analysis

Originally questionable heading into Monday's game, it now appears like Whiteside will have to sit this one out. His numbers have decreased a bit recently while dealing with a nagging shoulder injury, so hopefully the rest will help get him back on track. If he cannot go his next opportunity to suit up will be Wednesday versus the Clippers.

Whiteside did not go through shootaround Monday and is considered questionable to play due to knee soreness, Jason Lieser of the Palm Beach Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Whiteside was held out against the Pacers last Monday, but he's played through the discomfort in each of the last three games, including Saturday's loss to the Jazz in which he registered 10 points, 11 rebounds and four blocks. An update likely won't come until close to game-time, making Whiteside a risky daily play, especially against the Warriors in Oakland. If Whiteside is held out, expect Chris Andersen to get the starting nod with Amar'e Stoudemire and Chris Bosh seeing increased minutes.

Whiteside provided 10 points (4-8 FG, 2-6 FT), 11 rebounds, a steal and four blocks over 31 minutes in Saturday's 98-83 loss to the Jazz.

EDGE Analysis

The four-year pro has been battling knee soreness in recent days, so it was encouraging to see him able to take the court for a much more customary amount than the 19 he tallied against Phoenix on Friday. Whiteside held his own in a tough matchup against Rudy Gobert, managing double-digit rebounds for the fifth time in seven games.

Whiteside (knee) had eight points (3-6 FG, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds, one assist, and one block in 28 minutes during the Heat's 98-90 loss to the Knicks on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Whiteside didn't allow his knee pain to keep him out of action on Wednesday, but he was outplayed by Knicks' center Robin Lopez. Whiteside committed four turnovers, and it's possible his injury had something to do with his less than stellar showing. The Heat are back in action on Friday versus the Suns, so Whiteside has a day to rest before duty calls.
