Whiteside (ankle) said he expects to play Sunday against Boston, Shandel Richardson of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

EDGE Analysis

Whiteside sustained the injury during Thursday's loss to Toronto, but he's since downplayed the severity of the sprain, and at this point his availability doesn't look to be in much jeopardy. That said, the big man sat out practice Saturday, so it's best to wait until the team officially updates his status at Sunday's shootaround.
