Whiteside (illness) traveled with the team to Detroit in advance of Wednesday's game, Shandel Richardson of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

EDGE Analysis

Whiteside was absent from practice Tuesday due to illness, and it was initially unknown whether he'd join the Heat for Wednesday's game. However, the Heat announced Whiteside did make the trip, which certainly bodes well for his status not only Wednesday, but also Friday when the Heat close out the road trip in New York. It's important to note that Whiteside's condition could deteriorate over the next 24 hours, so there's no guarantee he'll play, but the Heat should provide an update following Wednesday's morning shootaround.
