Hassan Whiteside Rumors

Heat coach Erik Spoelstra told reporters after the game that he hadn’t received an explanation from Whiteside, but had an idea why he left. “Probably extremely upset like we all are,” said Spoelstra, whose team dropped to 9-14. The Heat have lost nine of their last 13 games heading into a six-game road trip. Spoelstra added: “Everybody, if they’re angry, frustrated, pissed, (need to) funnel it into the team until we get the changes that we want right now.”
