Haslem will start Wednesday's season finale against the Nets, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran center will close out potentially the last season of his career alongside longtime teammate Dwyane Wade. Haslem's played sparingly this year and is averaging just 1.4 points and 1.8 rebounds in 5.0 minutes across nine games.

Haslem reiterated after Tuesday's 122-99 win over the 76ers that he's uncertain if he will return in 2019-20 for a 17th NBA season, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.

EDGE Analysis

Reports earlier in the season suggested Haslem was planning on stepping away from the game this summer, but the 38-year-old apparently hasn't made up his mind yet. In recognition that Tuesday might have marked Haslem's last home game, coach Erik Spoelstra played the veteran for 10 minutes -- his most of the season and first game action since March 13. Haslem finished with seven points (2-7 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 3-4 FT) and four boards and subbed out of the game with 1:02 remaining, getting a standing ovation from the crowd along with the retiring Dwyane Wade. Haslem is expected to dress for Wednesday's season finale in Brooklyn but isn't certain to play.

Haslem revealed last week in an interview with David Yapkowitz of BasketballInsiders.com that he would retire at the end of the 2018-19 season.

EDGE Analysis

The NBA's fourth-oldest player at 38 years old, Haslem has played just 34 total games over the past two and a half seasons. Rather than health being at the root of his absences, Haslem simply isn't a rotation player for the Heat, who have valued him more as a positive voice in the locker room for the last several years. Once he finishes out his career this spring, Haslem could transition to some sort of non-playing role with the Heat, the only team he's suited up for during his 16 years in the NBA.

Haslem will be available to play in Sunday's game against the Timberwolves, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

EDGE Analysis

Haslem was one of a number of Heat players who were sick and forced to miss some practice or games, however he will be available to play Sunday. He's seen action in just three contests this season, so it's unlikely he will play.

Haslem is unavailable for Friday's game against the Cavaliers due to illness, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

EDGE Analysis

Haslem hasn't taken the court over the last eight games because of his current role within Miami's rotation, so this won't be a big loss for the Heat. Haslem's next opportunity to return will come Sunday against Minnesota.

Haslem (illness) returned to practice Tuesday and should be available to play Wednesday against the Knicks.

EDGE Analysis

Haslem managed to participate in Tuesday's practice despite dealing with an illness over the past few days. He's yet to enter a game this season but figures to be an option off the bench if needed.

Haslem agreed Thursday with the Heat on a one-year, $2.4 million contract, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 38-year-old had taken the last several months to decide between retirement or returning to the Heat for a 16th season, but it appears he's finally elected to extend his playing career one more year. Haslem has averaged less than 10 minutes per game in each of his last three campaigns and has appeared in only 31 total regular-season tilts over the past two years, with most of his value these days coming as a positive presence in the locker room. Even if the 2018-19 season ends up being his last in the NBA, Haslem will almost certainly have a role in the organization waiting for him once he embarks on his post-playing career.

Haslem is likely to return to the Heat for a 16th NBA season, Tim Reynolds of the Associated Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

While nothing is finalized at this point, Haslem's camp and the Heat have engaged in conversations in recent weeks, and the Heat are apparently now "even more convinced," in Reynolds' words, that the veteran will be back in Miami in 2018-19. The 38-year-old hasn't been a regular rotation player since 2014-15, but he remains a valuable veteran presence and is one of the more recognizable faces in franchise history, having been with the Heat organization since 2003. If Haslem does return, as anticipated, it seems rather likely that it would be his final NBA season.

Haslem (personal) will be available Saturday against Detroit, Anthony Chiang of the Palm Beach Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Haslem missed Friday's game while attending the funeral of his former agent, but he's since joined the team in Detroit and will be available off the bench. However, the 37-year-old hasn't played a minute in more than a month.

Haslem will not play in Friday's game against the 76ers due to personal reasons.

EDGE Analysis

The exact circumstances surrounding Haslem's absence are unclear, but given that the veteran is not part of the team's regular rotation, it won't have any impact on Miami's game plan Friday night.
