Miami Heat News: Hassan Whiteside Sits out First Day of Training Camp With Strained Calf

It looks like we’re going to have to wait a little longer before we finally see Miami Heat’s starting five on the court together.

The biggest news of the first day of Heat training camp on Tuesday was the absence of Hassan Whiteside, who was relegated to being a spectator after suffering a strained right calf injury during a pre-camp workout last week. In his absence, non-guaranteed free agents such as Greg Whittington and Keith Benson filled in to play alongside the four other projected starters.

Whiteside went into some detail regarding his calf injury:

“During the workout, I just felt like a tug on my calf muscle, so I’m just taking a couple of days off just to take it day by day.
