Whiteside (hand) has been cleared to resume basketball activities, but no decision has been made regarding his status for Tuesday's game against the Spurs.

Analysis:

Whiteside revealed that the pain in his hand has subsided somewhat, which helped clear him to resume basketball activities. Nonetheless, Whiteside admitted he won't be 100 percent for Tuesday's game, if he indeed suits up. However, given the Heat's current battle for playoff position, Whiteside's inside presence could certainly still be of value to Miami. As a result, expect the big man's status to be updated some time prior to Tuesday's tip-off versus San Antonio.
