Hassan Whiteside

A relative lack of expendable trade assets is not deterring the Milwaukee Bucks. They’re still on the hunt for an impact big man in advance of the NBA’s Feb. 8 deadline. Their latest exploration? Hassan Whiteside, according to Basketball Insiders’ Steve Kyler: The prevailing thought around the NBA is the Bucks would be open to [...]

Hassan Whiteside is, apparently, a wanted man. This should definitely come as something of a surprise. Whiteside has shown a lot of growth on the defensive end when he’s engaged, particularly in space, where he uses his length to offset mobility deficits against guards and wings. But he’s a seesawing offensive contributor, and more importantly, [...]

Despite being the Miami Heat’s highest paid player, Hassan Whiteside hasn’t been playing as many minutes or finishing games on a nightly basis since returning from his knee injury. Whiteside has averaged 11 points, eight rebounds and 1.5 blocks in just over 20 minutes per game in his last six games, and while he is [...]

Hassan Whiteside has missed each of the Miami Heat’s past three games with a bone bruise in his left knee, and he doesn’t sound like someone who’s planning to return in the near future. From the Palm Beach Post‘s Anthony Chiang: Whiteside will not travel for the team’s upcoming three-game trip, which begins Wednesday in San [...]

Hassan Whiteside’s left knee is acting up again, and he isn’t happy about it. The seven-footer missed five games earlier in the season with what was deemed a bruised left knee and has played in every game since. But he’s been limited to under 25 minutes in four of the last five tilts, and the [...]

Hassan Whiteside doesn’t agree with Miami Heat head coach Erik Spoelstra. Or Dion Waiters. Or Goran Dragic. Sensing a pattern here? Coach Spo and Waiters recently riffed on the Heat’s screen-setting issues, a direct form of commentary on Whiteside’s play. And now Dragic has come out with similar sentiments, per the Palm Peach Post‘s Anthony Chiang: [...]

Hassan Whiteside was yanked from the Miami Heat’s Monday night loss to the Golden State Warriors for what appeared to be poor defensive effort. Afterward, he received what we can only assume was a stern-yet-loving-yet-also-concerned talking to from Miami Heat captains Goran Dragic, James Johnson and Udonis Haslem. The Miami Herald‘s Manny Navarro has the details: [...]

Hassan Whiteside has missed the Miami Heat’s past five games with a bruised left knee, and it doesn’t seem like he’ll be returning to the lineup in short order. Well that, or his return will be instantaneous, coming with out warning from the organization. Those are the only two potential conclusions we can draw at [...]

Will Hassan Whiteside be shooting threes for the Miami Heat next season? If it’s up to him, yes—sometimes at least. From the South Florida Sun Sentinel‘s Ira Winderman: “I might shoot a three every once and while,” Whiteside said, speaking at Sunday’s Dew NBA 3X event at Bayfront Park. But I’m still more about getting in [...]

Since Jan. 17, the Miami Heat are an NBA-best 21-5. Correct: The Heat have been the best team in the NBA for more than one-quarter of the season. That is a real fact that is actually real. Net rating still likes the Golden State Warriors more during this span, according to NBA.com, but the Heat [...]
