The goal never was to be a gentle giant. But at the moment, Hassan Whiteside has no other choice.

So, yes, those are tempered, almost gentlemanly dunks you are seeing from the Miami Heat center, as he deals with the 13 stitches that remain in his lacerated right hand.

Whiteside said before Sunday night's game against the Boston Celtics at TD Garden that the last thing he wants to do at the moment is apply force against the rim,

"It's a lot different," he said, "but it's something I'm going to have to deal with until it heals up. It is what it is. Nobody's going to feel sorry for me or our team."

Injured late in Tuesday's victory over the Phoenix Suns at AmericanAirlines Arena, Whiteside still made it out for the next game, Thursday's loss to the visiting Toronto Raptors. He appreciates that if he does not want to miss time, fans are going to have to live without some of his ferocity.

"When you've got 13 stitches, man, I don't think grabbing a rim and hanging on it when you weigh 270 is a good idea," he said. "I don't want to experience that.

"It's different. It's kind of hard. It makes things a little different. But I come out here and I get the two points. Two points is two points."

He said blocking shots with the injury to his dominant hand is not as much of a concern.

"Your adrenaline gets going," he said. "Blocking a shot with it is not going to hurt it as much as me probably hanging on the rim. I think that's why."

Whiteside twisted his left ankle at the end of the loss to the Raptors but said it is not a concern.

"It feels a lot better," he said.
