He will return tonight against the Mavericks, but coach Erik Spoelstra is mostly using this as a chance to test out his health after missing six games with a strained left oblique muscle. -- The Palm Beach Post

Hassan Whiteside catalyst in tight Miami Heat win in Dallas: Hassan Whiteside’s sudden celebrity, at times, still comes as a surprise.

The words of Hassan Whiteside after Miami's 93-90 win: The locker room opened after my deadline for this column about the Heat's win in Dallas, so here's are the highlights from Hassan Whiteside's post-game interview. -- The Miami Herald

Heat hold off Mavericks 93-90 as Whiteside returns: This was about as close to whole as the Miami Heat will be going into the stretch run of the NBA playoff chase, and it led to a wholly rewarding result Wednesday night against the Dallas Mavericks at the AmericanAirlines Center. -- South Florida Sun-Sentinel

Hassan Whiteside returns from hip injury as reserve: The road back for Hassan Whiteside with the Miami Heat began Wednesday night as it started a year ago with the team, with a role off the bench. -- South Florida Sun-Sentinel

Heat unveil latest throwback uniforms with '90s nostalgia: The Miami Heat again find themselves in throwback mode, this time unveiling "'Hardwood Classics" alternate uniforms that will be featured in most of the team's games in February, breaking them out in Wednesday's game against the Dallas Mavericks at American Airlines Center. -- South Florida Sun-Sentinel
