Haslem is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against Golden State.
EDGE Analysis
Haslem missed practice Monday with an illness, so the Heat will wait to see how he feels at shootaround Tuesday before updating his status. The veteran has appeared in only 12 games this season and was a DNP-CD in the team's most recent game Sunday against the Clippers.

Haslem had seven points (2-3 FG, 3-4 FT), three rebounds, two assists, and one block in 18 minutes during the Heat's 107-102 win against the Kings on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Haslem posted season highs in scoring, made free throws, assists, and blocks, and he has appeared in three straight games since Hassan Whiteside (eye) got hurt. Haslem had only appeared in eight contests this season prior to Jan. 1, and just once had he received a double-digit minutes load. During these last three contests though, the veteran forward has averaged 5.3 points, 4.7 rebounds, 1.0 assist, 0.7 steals, and 0.3 blocks in 18.3 minutes per game. With Whiteside slated to miss Friday's matchup with the Lakers as well, Haslem seems likely to earn decent minutes for at least one more night.

Haslem (personal) will be available for Saturday's game against the Bulls.
EDGE Analysis
Haslem was excused from the team Friday in order to attend his son's state championship football game, but he is back with the Heat for Saturday's matchup and will be available off the bench. The Heat are dealing with numerous injuries, so Haslem has a chance to see a few minutes Saturday night.

Haslem has been excused from Friday's game against the Cavaliers for personal reasons.
EDGE Analysis
The Heat will only have eight players Friday without Haslem, but his absence should not have a major impact on Miami's rotation, as he has appeared in just seven games this season and has averaged only 5.9 minutes in those contest. It's not clear when Haslem will return to the team, but he could miss another game with the Heat playing back-to-back games Friday and Saturday this weekend.

Haslem played one minute in Tuesday's 93-90 loss to the Hawks, but didn't accrue any statistics.
EDGE Analysis
Haslem has been a glorified assistant coach throughout the season, as the Heat lifer has seen run in just two of the team's 10 games. He won't be a regular rotation member for the rotation unless a number of injuries hit the frontcourt.

Haslem will be rested and won't play in Saturday's preseason game against Minnesota.
EDGE Analysis
Haslem is merely getting a day of veteran rest. He'll likely return to action when the Heat take on the Magic Tuesday.

Haslem signed a one-year, $4 million contract with the Heat on Sunday, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
EDGE Analysis
Haslem now holds the longest current stint with the Heat, given Dwyane Wade's departure to the Bulls last week. The 36-year-old, who has spent all 13 years in the league in Miami, has seen a rapid decline in numbers over the past few years, averaging just 1.6 points and 1.8 rebounds in 37 games last season. Haslem makes more of an impact as a veteran presence in the locker room than on the court these days, making him a less-than-desirable fantasy option in 2016.

Haslem won't require offseason surgery to repair a torn plantar fascia in his foot, Manny Navarro of the Miami Herald reports.
EDGE Analysis
The injury limited the lightly-used Haslem during the Heat's playoff run, but with a full offseason to heal up, he'll be back to full strength by training camp. Haslem is set to become a free agent this summer, but the Heat lifer is unlikely to land elsewhere.

Haslem scored eight points (4-7 FG, 0-1 FT) while adding seven rebounds and two assists in 22 minutes off the bench during Saturday's Game 3 loss to the Raptors.
EDGE Analysis
It was the most action Haslem has seen this postseason, and it came after Hassan Whiteside left the game in the second quarter with a knee injury. If Whiteside isn't able to return for Game 4 on Monday night, expect Haslem to get the start at center, although his minutes could still be fairly limited as coach Erik Spoelstra is more likely to rely on a smaller lineup.

Haslem played nine minutes and collected two points (1-2 FG), two boards, and one block during Thursday's 96-92 overtime loss to the Raptors in Game 2 of the series.
EDGE Analysis
Haslem has rejoined the rotation for the first two games of the series to provide his customary hustle and strong defense, but he's still only seen a combined 15 minutes. Because Haslem doesn't offer much in the way of offense, his playing time will likely remain severely limited in any game he appears.
