Whiteside will play Sunday against the Bulls, Joseph Goodman of the Miami Herald reports.

Analysis:

Whiteside was technically ready to play Friday, though he never entered the game as it looked like head coach Erik Spoelstra was trying his best to let the big man rest his ankle injury. It's still not clear if he will regain his starting role Sunday, but since Whiteside stated that he's 90 percent healthy, that seems likely as well.
