Haslem announced Friday via his personal Instagram acocunt that he has retired from professional basketball.
Haslem played all 20 years of his career in Miami after going undrafted out of Florida in 2002. Despite seeing limited playing time in the latter stages of his career, he will retire as the Heat's all-time leading rebounder (5,791). Haslem is a three-time NBA champion and was the league's oldest player in 2022-23 at 42 years old.
Haslem (illness) is available for Monday's Game 4 versus New York, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
Haslem was ruled out for Game 3 due to an illness, but as expected, he's cleared the aliment and will suit up for Game 4. The veteran big man has played just two minutes across the team's first eight postseason matchups, so even though he's available, he likely won't be part of the Heat's rotation Monday.
