After Hassan Whiteside questioned his playing time Saturday night, the Miami Heat announced that they had fined the center an undisclosed amount for “comments detrimental to the team.” He will not be suspended for his actions.

... Heat not disclosing amount of Whiteside fine. So no suspension for Whiteside for his rant last night, merely a fine. No further comment from team.

It’s not surprising that the Heat would make this move after one of their players openly questioned his playing time.
