Whiteside posted 23 points (9-18 FG, 5-6 FT), 14 rebounds, one assist, three steals, two blocks and two turnovers across 31 minutes in Tuesday's 112-97 win over the Suns. However, he suffered a laceration between his fingers and will get stitches, Anthony Chiang of the Palm Beach Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Whiteside logged his 13th straight double-double in Tuesday's contest, so the laceration to his finger didn't appear to hurt his performance too much. That said, the stitches could present some problems for his availability heading into Thursday's game against the Raptors, so it will be a situation to monitor over the next couple of days. Look for another update on his status following Wednesday's practice session.
