Hassan Whiteside was ejected after picking up two technical fouls in the fourth quarter on Monday, finishing with two points, six rebounds, a steal and a block on 1-of-4 shooting in 13 minutes.
Reggie Bullock was also ejected after a minor skirmish after Whiteside fouled Luka Doncic on a dunk attempt, but in the end it was much ado about nothing. No suspensions coming ahead of Game 6 in Utah on Thursday.
Hassan Whiteside (right foot, minor bone spur fracture) finished Saturday's 111-107 loss to the Warriors with two points (1-of-2 FGs), two rebounds, and one blocked shot in 10 minutes.
Whiteside was back in the Jazz rotation after a four-game absence, but he did not offer much in the way of production when on the floor. And truth be told this wasn't a great matchup for Whiteside, due to the Warriors' lack of true big men. Tuesday's matchup with the Grizzlies may be a better one for Whiteside, provided his foot does not give him any trouble.
Hassan Whiteside will be available against the Warriors following a four-game absence related to a foot injury.
Whiteside will likely see his usual workload backing up Rudy Gobert. On the season, the Marshall product is averaging 8.1 points, 7.6 rebounds and 1.5 blocks across 18.1 minutes.
Hassan Whiteside (foot) has been upgraded to questionable vs. the Warriors on Saturday.
Whiteside missed the past four games for Utah but this is great news as the Jazz will be able to ramp him up in time for the playoffs. Give Whiteside a look if he gets the green light, as he can be a nice source of blocks, rebounds and FG% in limited minutes.
