Miami's Hassan Whiteside and Toronto's Jonas Valanciunas won't square off anymore in the Heat-Raptors Eastern Conference semifinal series.
And as the games get bigger, the lineups will be smaller.
Whiteside is considered day to day with a sprained medial collateral ligament in his right knee, and Valanciunas will miss the rest of the series with a sprained right ankle. Both starting centers were injured in Game 3 of the series Saturday, and both got the news about their immediate futures in MRI exams that were performed Sunday.
