Head coach Erik Spoelstra announced Thursday that Whiteside (thigh) is "ready to go" against the Bulls after he was able to go through the team's walkthrough, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

EDGE Analysis

Whiteside missed Wednesday's practice after suffering a bruised thigh against the Trail Blazers, but the added time off between games has allowed him to rest up and it seems that he'll be a full go for Thursday's matchup with the Bulls. He'll likely be coming off the bench again Thursday, but he should be able to play his usual allotment of minutes (30.8).
