Miami Heat cheap shot artist Hassan Whiteside is doubtful for tonight’s game against the Celtics:
Whiteside needed 10 stitches to his right hand after suffering a gash between the middle and ring fingers on his hand. He sliced his hand hitting the rim and had to leave the game with 5:41 remaining in the second quarter of the Heat’s 89-88 loss to Milwaukee at the Bradley Center.
Whiteside had his hand heavily bandaged and also said he got multiple shots to numb the pain in his hand. His availability for the Heat’s game at Boston on Wednesday seems doubtful.
“I don’t know if I am going to be able to play tomorrow,” Whiteside said. “We are going to see how it feels, day to day.”
“I can’t feel my hand right now,” Whiteside added. “I’ll know tomorrow morning it will be throbbing and I will feel the pain a lot more.”
Aww… You won’t find much sympathy here.
The last time we saw Whiteside, he was driving his left forearm into the back of Kelly Olynyk’s neck in one of the dirtiest acts I’ve seen in a long, long time.
A win tonight puts Boston in a tie with the Heat for the 7th spot in the East. A win also evens the season series with Miami. And… the Celtics and Heat would also have identical conference records.
Yup, the playoff race is thisclose.
