Whiteside was placed in the league's health and safety protocols Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Whiteside took on a starting role in each of the last three games since Rudy Gobert (shoulder/COVID-19 protocols) was sidelined, but the 32-year-old will now need to isolate from the team. Whether he's tested positive for COVID-19 remains to be seen, but Norvel Pelle (illness) and Eric Paschall could see increased run in his absence.
