Hassan Whiteside

Hassan Whiteside did something Wednesday night that hasn’t been done since 1989. He continued his reemergence with the Heat with a ridiculous 29 point, 20 rebound and 9 blocks performance in the Heat’s 95-88 victory over the Spurs. The last player to put up that sort of stat line in the NBA is the one [...]

He has oscillated between [...]

Hassan Whiteside remains unhappy with how the Miami Heat are using him.

Hassan Whiteside is unhappy with his role on the Miami Heat yet again. Surprise, surprise.

The 2017-18 season has not gone as Hassan Whiteside would have hoped. After averaging 17.0 points and an NBA-leading 14.1 rebounds per game in 2016-17 in 32.6 minutes per game, Whiteside’s health, productiveness, effort and ultimately minutes have all gone down this season and it has led to much frustration with Whiteside and the team.
