Heat's Hassan Whiteside: Out for Game 7 on Sunday

Whiteside (knee) announced Friday that he'll be out for Sunday's Game 7 against the Raptors, Ethan Skolnick of the Miami Herald reports.

Analysis:

Whiteside will travel with the team to Toronto, but he's set to miss his fourth consecutive game of the series due to a right MCL sprain. He said following the Heat's Game 6 win that he continues to rehab and get better, but remains without a concrete timetable for a possible return. The Heat figure to go with a smaller starting lineup so long as Whiteside remains out, allowing Justise Winslow, Josh Richardson, Josh McRoberts and Udonis Haslem to pick up additional minutes.
