Haslem recorded two points (1-2 FG) and one rebound across three minutes during a 129-103 win Saturday at Memphis.

EDGE Analysis

Haslem recorded his first minutes of the 2021-22 season, but as has been the case in recent years, he won't be a part of the rotation on the vast majority of nights.

Haslem (illness) returned to practice Tuesday, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

EDGE Analysis

Haslem was able to return to practice after a short stint away from the team while he dealt with cold-like symptoms. However, fellow big men Dewayne Dedmon (illness) and Markieff Morris (illness) remained away from the team Tuesday. The Heat open the regular season against the Bucks on Thursday and hope to have all three available, though Haslem is a longshot to play.

Haslem was one of three Heat players who didn't practice Monday due to cold-like symptoms, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

EDGE Analysis

Additionally, fellow big men Dewayne Dedmon and Markieff Morris sat out Monday's session. Since the Heat won't play their first regular-season game until Thursday against the Bucks, all three players should have a decent chance to put their illnesses behind them for the opener.

Haslem is starting Thursday's preseason game against Atlanta, Kevin Chouinard of the Hawks' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Heat are resting most of their frontcourt contributors in Thursday's preseason finale, so Haslem and Micah Potter should see plenty of work. The 41-year-old is expected to take on a rotational role once the regular season begins.

Haslem (personal) has returned to practice Sunday after spending the first two weeks of practices away tending to the death of his father, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.

EDGE Analysis

Haslem will begin practicing with the team as they prepare for their Oct. 21 season-opener against the Milwaukee Bucks. The 19-year veteran is not expected to hold a rotational role for the Heat this year.

Haslem (personal) is out Friday against the Spurs.

EDGE Analysis

Even if Haslem wasn't away for personal reasons, it would be surprising to see him play in the preseason.

Haslem (personal) will not be available for Thursday's preseason game against Houston.

EDGE Analysis

Haslem is away from the team dealing with a personal matter, but he's not a part of the rotation, so his absence -- however long it may be -- won't have any fantasy ramifications.

Haslem will not be available for Monday's preseason game against the Hawks, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.

EDGE Analysis

No surprise here, as Haslem rarely sees any game action -- preseason or regular season -- at this point in his career. He appeared in only one contest last season and has played in just 29 combined games over the last four seasons.

Haslem agreed to a one-year, $2.6 million contract with the Heat on Wednesday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Haslem is entering his age 41 season. He's been mostly a locker-room presence over the past half-decade. Since 2015-16, he's appeared in just 82 total games, and he's appeared in just five games in the past two seasons.

Haslem is expected to return to the Heat for the 2021-22 season, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran big man has not been a true rotation player for the Heat since the 2014-15 season, but it looks like he'll hang on for what would be his 19th NBA campaign. Haslem saw action in just one game last season and was promptly ejected after three minutes. He's appeared in just 46 total games over the last five seasons.
