Gastonia’s Hassan Whiteside’s relationship with the Miami Heat is going south, two seasons removed from his signing a contract worth nearly $100 million.
The Heat fined Whiteside an undisclosed amount Sunday for “comments detrimental to the team” after his expletive-filled reaction Saturday to his recent playing time.
“It’s bull----, it’s really bull----, man,” Whiteside said of coach Erik Spoelstra’s decision to go small – thus reducing Whiteside’s minutes – in a loss Saturday to the Brooklyn Nets.
“There are a lot of teams that can use a center.”
