Whiteside (right calf strain) will miss Sunday's preseason opener against the Hornets, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Analysis:

Whiteside hasn't practiced the last few days due to the injury, so it's no surprise the Heat aren't comfortable returning him to preseason action. At this time, his injury isn't viewed as a significant setback, so his availability for the start of the season doesn't look to be in jeopardy.
