Whiteside has missed the last three games with a sprained
right knee.
After Miami's 103-91 win tied their best-of-seven series and
forced an elimination game decider, Whiteside ruled out hope for
a dramatic comeback.
"I can't really put a measurement on it," Whiteside told Miami's
Sun Sentinel. "I don't have a time period for you. I'm just
getting better."
Whiteside, who is a free agent at the season end, was injured in
Game Three against Toronto.
The team's defensive anchor inside, Whiteside had enjoyed a
solid post-season while averaging 12 points, 10.9 rebounds and
2.8 blocks.
He will travel to Toronto for Game Seven on Sunday to cheer on
his team mates. "We've got a lot of talented guys on this team,"
Whiteside said. "I believe in them guys."
