Hassan Whiteside cites personal issues for recent altercations

Hassan Whiteside is back after missing one game for delivering a forearm to the back of Boston center Kelly Olynyk’s neck Monday and is expected to start for the Heat at Toronto.

When Whiteside spoke after this morning’s shootaround at Air Canada Centre, he was contrite and vowed to keep his composure.

“I just had a lot going on in my personal life. I don’t really want to speak on it. It won’t happen again,” Whiteside said.
