The 7-footer dealt with a similar injury (strained left hip) earlier this season and missed six games. Despite the damage, Whiteside, who took electronic-stimulation therapy following practice, seemed adamant to play in Game 4:
“I feel pretty confident. I’m a tough guy”

If Whiteside is unable to go the Heat would take a huge blow. The starting center has arguably been the Heat’s best player during the first round, putting up 17.0 points, 14.0 rebounds, 3.0 blocks and 1.0 steals in his first career postseason.
Game 4 takes place in Charlotte on Monday at 7:00 PM E.T.
