Calls it a career Whiteside announced Tuesday that he is retiring from basketball, Bleacher Report reports.
Impact Whiteside last played for Puerto Rican club Piratas de Quebradillas but spent 10 seasons in the NBA, with his most recent stint coming in 2021-22 for Utah. Whiteside saw his best years coming in Miami, where he spent five seasons. In his best campaign in 2017-18, he averaged 17.0 points, 14.1 rebounds and 2.1 blocks in 32.6 minutes across 77 appearances.

Ejected from Game 5 Whiteside was ejected from Monday's Game 5 against the Mavericks after being assessed two technical fouls, Tony Jones of The Athletic reports.
Impact Whiteside was forced to hit the showers after getting into an altercation with the opposition during the fourth quarter. The game was already well in hand, so his absence didn't impact the outcome of the contest. Whiteside scored just two points for the fourth straight game and snagged six boards in 13 minutes.
APRIL 26, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Posts second straight double-double Whiteside amassed 15 points (5-9 FG, 5-8 FT), 11 rebounds, one assist and five blocks in 17 minutes during Wednesday's 137-101 win over the Thunder.
Impact Both Whiteside and Rudy Gobert double-doubled in the blowout win, and Whiteside outpaced his counterpart with five swats. This was the veteran center's second straight double-double, and he blocked four shots in his previous contest against Memphis. Whiteside hasn't reached the 20-minute mark since March 12 but he continues to be a productive rebounder and shot-blocker.
APRIL 7, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Double-double with four blocks Whiteside amassed 14 points (7-10 FG, 0-2 FT), 10 rebounds and four blocks in 19 minutes during Tuesday's 121-115 overtime victory over the Grizzlies.
Impact Whiteside hadn't offered much in recent games while dealing with a bone spur in his foot, but he pushed through it Tuesday to post easily his best fantasy line since mid-March. The backup big man has a considerably lower fantasy ceiling than he did during his days as a starter in Portland and Miami, but even in limited minutes, he can still be of use to managers in search of blocks.
APRIL 6, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Minimal role in loss Whiteside (foot) logged 10 minutes off the bench in Saturday's 111-107 loss to the Warriors, finishing with two points (1-2 FG), two rebounds and one block.
Impact After a four-game absence, Whiteside returned to action in his normal role as the Jazz's backup center, but he saw less playing time than usual with starter Rudy Gobert logging 38 minutes. Whiteside will likely be at less-than-optimal health for the remainder of the season while he contends with a minor bone spur fracture in his foot, but the Jazz don't appear to be considering shutting him down.
APRIL 3, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Cleared to play Whiteside (foot) is available Saturday against the Warriors, Eric Walden of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
Impact Whiteside returns following a four-game absence. It's possible he'll be on a minutes limit in his first game back, though he rarely sees more than 15-19 minutes while backing up Rudy Gobert.
APRIL 2, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Questionable Saturday Whiteside (foot) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Warriors.
Impact Whiteside was diagnosed with a minor bone spur fracture recently, but he'll have a chance to suit up against Golden State. If he's ultimately unavailable, Greg Monroe should see additional run.
APRIL 2, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
MRI confirms bone fracture Whiteside's MRI confirmed that he suffered a minor bone spur fracture, and he can proceed with play as long as it isn't painful, Eric Walden of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
Impact Whiteside's injury is expected to heal on its own, and there are no medical procedures required. This means the center will be able to play as pain allows him to. Expect Greg Monroe to carry the backup center load until Whiteside is able to return.
APRIL 1, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
To remain out Thursday Whiteside (foot) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Lakers.
Impact Whiteside will miss a fourth consecutive contest as he continues to deal with a right foot sprain. As a result, Greg Monroe should continue to see run as the primary backup behind starter Rudy Gobert. Whiteside's next chance to return will come Saturday against the Warriors.
MARCH 31, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Remains sidelined Whiteside (foot) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Clippers, Eric Walden of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
Impact Whiteside is set to miss his third consecutive matchup due to a right foot sprain. His next chance to return arrives Thursday against the Lakers.
MARCH 29, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Out Sunday Whiteside (foot) will not play Sunday against the Mavericks.
Impact A sprained right foot will keep Whiteside on the sidelines for the second straight contest. He was questionable coming in, so it looks like the Jazz will handle his status on a game-to-game basis.
MARCH 27, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Listed as questionable Whiteside (foot) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Mavericks, Sarah Todd of The Deseret News reports.
Impact Whiteside's injury kept him off the court Friday, but he will have a chance to return to action a couple days later.
MARCH 26, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Ruled out Friday Whiteside (foot) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Hornets, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
Impact Whiteside is dealing with a right foot sprain and will be forced to miss at least one game. Udoka Azubuike (ankle) is also out, so Juancho Hernangomez and Eric Paschall should see additional run Friday.
MARCH 25, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Questionable at Charlotte Whiteside is questionable for Friday's game against the Hornets due to a sprained right foot.
Impact Whiteside presumably suffered the injury Wednesday against the Celtics. With Udoka Azubuike (ankle) already ruled out, the Jazz could be quite shorthanded at backup center, which could result in Juancho Hernangomez or Eric Paschall seeing more time.
MARCH 24, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Available Sunday Whiteside (illness) is available for Sunday's game against the Knicks, Tony Jones of The Athletic reports.
Impact Whiteside missed Friday's game against the Clippers due to a non-COVID illness, but he'll be back in action Sunday. He's averaged 7.8 points and 8.6 rebounds in 19.2 minutes per game across his last five appearances.
MARCH 20, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Questionable Sunday Whiteside (illness) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Knicks.
Impact Whiteside was a late scratch for Friday's game against the Clippers due to a non-COVID illness, and he continues to deal with the issue ahead of Sunday's matchup. If he's unavailable once again, Juancho Hernangomez and Eric Paschall should see additional playing time.
MARCH 19, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Late scratch Friday Whiteside is out Friday against the Clippers due to a non-COVID illness.
Impact Whiteside wasn't on the team's initial injury report and participated in pregame warmups Friday, but he'll be held out due to an illness. Juancho Hernangomez and Eric Paschall should see increased run Friday.
MARCH 19, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Returns to bench Whiteside isn't starting Monday's game against Milwaukee.
Impact Whiteside logged a season-high 35 minutes in a spot start Saturday against the Kings, putting together a massive night by scoring 12 points and securing 21 rebounds. With Rudy Gobert cleared to return, Whiteside will take on his usual bench role. He is averaging 7.4 points and 6.6 boards in his last seven contests as a reserve.
MARCH 15, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Pulls down 21 rebounds Whiteside recorded 12 points (5-6 FG, 2-6 FT), 21 rebounds, three blocks, one assist and one steal over 35 minutes during Saturday's 134-125 victory over the Kings.
Impact Whiteside made a spot start with Rudy Gobert (foot) sidelined, and the veteran big man made the most of the opportunity. The 21 rebounds represented a new season high for Whiteside, who may be worthy of a short-term hold in 12-team leagues in the event Gobert's injury sidelines him for additional games.
MARCH 13, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Double-doubles in Friday's loss Whiteside closed Friday's 104-102 loss to the Spurs with 13 points (6-7 FG, 1-5 FT), 10 rebounds and one steal across 16 minutes.
Impact Whiteside racked up a double-double in the loss, just the second time he has achieved the milestone across his last nine appearances. Despite having some periods of relevance this season, Whiteside is nothing more than a streaming consideration in most fantasy formats as long as Rudy Gobert is healthy.
MARCH 12, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Double-doubles in loss Whiteside ended Friday's 124-90 loss to New Orleans with 13 points (6-7 FG, 1-2 FT), 12 rebounds and one block across 16 minutes.
Impact Whiteside was one of the very few bright spots for the Jazz on Friday, racking up his first double-double in over two weeks. All things considered, Whiteside has been able to put together a somewhat consistent season. With that being said, he is nowhere near being a must-roster player, but he can have some streaming value from time to time, as demonstrated in this game.
MARCH 5, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Thrives despite Gobert's return Whiteside closed Monday's 135-101 win over the Rockets with 11 points (5-9 FG, 1-2 FT), 14 rebounds and three blocks across 18 minutes.
Impact All-Star center Rudy Gobert (calf) returned to action after a nine-game injury absence, but that didn't prevent Whiteside from registering another impressive performance. The backup big man managed his second straight double-double despite logging only 18 minutes of playing time. Whiteside also swatted multiple shots for the fifth time in six games. His role will undoubtedly be reduced moving forward with Gobert back in the fold, but it appears that he will hold onto the second spot on the big-man depth chart over Udoka Azubuike, who played just eight minutes Monday.
FEBRUARY 15, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
With Rudy Gobert still out, Hassan Whiteside and Udoka Azubuike form a formidable tag team for the Jazz Big men Udoka Azubuike and Hassan Whiteside combined for 27 points on 13-for-15 shooting, plus 25 rebounds and three blocks in the Utah Jazz...
FEBRUARY 12, 2022 • SLTRIB.COM
Excels off bench again Whiteside contributed 15 points (7-9 FG, 1-2 FT), 18 rebounds, one assist and two blocks across 27 minutes during Friday's 114-99 win over the Magic.
Impact Whiteside one-upped his 17-board performance Wednesday with an even more dominant effort on the glass against Orlando. He also swatted multiple shots for the fourth time in five games and contributed an efficient 15 points. Udoka Azubuike continues to start at center for Utah in Rudy Gobert's (calf) absence, but Whiteside has been seeing more minutes and will likely retain the second spot on the big-man depth chart when the All-Star center returns to action.
