Haslem (knee/wrist) will be a game-time decision for Monday's game against the Celtics. |
Haslem is dealing with a combination of injuries, which paints uncertainty regarding his status for Monday's game. With center Hassan Whiteside (ankle) also slated for a game-time decision Monday, the Heat's frontcourt is a bit banged-up at the moment, which could offer players like Chris Anderson and Michael Beasley more playing time than usual. |
Sat Mar 7 2015 | 19:23 | Haslem (undisclosed) starting Saturday versus Kings |
Haslem (undisclosed) is starting Saturday versus the Kings. |
There was a question whether Haslem would take the floor Saturday, but he'll in fact start. In 10 nods this season, he's averaged 4.9 points (on 45 percent shooting), four rebounds, and 0.8 assists in 19 minutes. |
Sat Mar 7 2015 | 18:47 | Haslem game-time call for Saturday's contest against Kings |
Haslem is a game-time call for Saturday's contest against the Kings, FOX Sports Florida reports. |
An ailment doesn't appear to be the cause of the imminent decision from coach Erik Spoelstra, but rather the result of Haslem playing 28 minutes Friday. If he takes a seat, Hassan Whiteside's (ankle) potential absence could leave Chris Andersen and Michael Beasley as the Heat's sole frontcourt options Saturday. |
Sat Feb 21 2015 | 02:42 | Haslem started for injured Chris Bosh (chest) Friday |
Haslem started for the injured Chris Bosh (chest) Friday. He scored 13 points (5-6 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 2-6 FT) and added five rebounds, two assists, and one block in 28 minutes against the Knicks. |
The full extent of Bosh's injury is still unknown, but the indications are that he will be out for a long time, possibly the rest of the season. In his absence, more will be needed from Haslem. |

Haslem (wrist) three minutes and had two points (1-3 FG) and a board in the win over the Knicks on Monday. |
Haslem has been limited by a wrist sprain. He has not played more than six minutes since Jan. 27. The veteran's fantasy appeal is limited even when he is completely healthy. |
Mon Feb 9 2015 | 17:57 | Haslem (wrist) will play Monday against Knicks |
Haslem (wrist) will play Monday against the Knicks, Tim Reynolds of the Associated Press reports. |
Haslem was considered questionable after aggravating his sprained wrist over the weekend, but he'll give it a go Monday. With Hassan Whiteside (ankle) considered questionable, Haslem could see a few extra minutes off the bench. Still, though, he's not a reliable fantasy contributor. |

Haslem (wrist) is officially listed as questionable for Monday's game. |
Even if he plays, it is not a lock that Haslem will play enough minutes to be useful in most fantasy formats. Continue to monitor his status leading up to Monday's game. |

Haslem managed to practice Sunday despite the aggravation from his sprained wrist. |
Further news on Haslem's availability for Monday's game against the Knicks should be released sometime after the morning shootaround. Even if he ends up playing Monday, the 34-year-old is only averaging 13.2 minutes on the court this season. |
Sun Jan 25 2015 | 16:21 | Haslem only on court for three minutes Sunday against Chicago |
Haslem was only on the court for three minutes Sunday against Chicago. He finished with no points and three rebounds. |
Haslem's reduced role has put a serious cap on his value. He is a solid rebounder when he's on the floor, but he doesn't get enough playing time to warrant owning him on your team. |
Wed Dec 17 2014 | 01:26 | Haslem has started last two games at power forward for Heat |
Haslem has started the last two games at power forward for the Heat. In Tuesday's game, he put up seven points (3-6 FG, 1-2 FT), four rebounds, and two assists in 25 minutes. |
Even with an expanded role, Haslem is too limited in his production to warrant rostering in anything but the deepest of leagues. His per-36 numbers this season are 8.6 points, 10.8 points, and 0.3 blocks, which wouldn't be good enough to roster in standard leagues even if he were playing enough minutes. |

Haslem played 14 minutes on Monday, scoring six points, grabbing six rebounds including four offensive rebounds. |
Haslem has always been an option for the Heat because of the depth he provides to an otherwise depleted front court. He grabbed four offensive rebounds against the Nets, but this performance is nothing to take note of. Coach Erik Spoelstra is still looking to find a lineup that can generate offense, whether through efficient play or getting second possessions. Assuming Wade (hamstring), Deng (wrist), and McRoberts (toe) will be out for the the time being, Haslem is best utilized in deep leagues for owners who need a slight boost in rebounds. |

Haslem (quad) made his season debut and had eight points (4-6 FG) with six rebounds in 14 minutes in the win over Minnesota on Saturday. |
Haslem missed the first five games of the season. The 34-year-old forward is unlikely to contribute fantasy relevant numbers, but he could provide rebounds in a pinch. |

Haslem (quadriceps) is expected to make his season debut Saturday, the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports. |
Haslem has missed the first five games of the season but seems poised to play against Minnesota on Saturday. However, it's still unclear just how much run he'll be given when considering that coach Erik Spoelstra may want to ease him back into action. |

Haslem (quad) was a full participant in practice Friday, and is officially listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Timberwolves. |
Haslem has been considered day-to-day for a week now, so he should be nearing a return. He hasn't played in a game yet this season, but the Heat could use some extra depth in the frontcourt. As soon as he's back, he'll get most of his reserve minutes at the power forward position. |

Haslem (quad) is considered questionable for Tuesday's game against the Rockets, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports. |
A tight quad has kept the veteran out of action this season but he appears close to making his debut. If it doesn't come Tuesday against Houston, Haslem's next chance will be Wednesday in Charlotte. Miami is then off until Saturday, when the Timberwolves travel to American Airlines Arena. |
Sun Nov 2 2014 | 16:58 | Haslem (quad) will not play Sunday against Raptors |
Haslem (quad) will not play Sunday against the Raptors. |
The veteran is yet to play this season as he continues to nurse a tight quad. He doesn't seem to have much in the way of a definite timetable at this point, so continue to monitor his status on a game-to-game basis. |

Haslem is dealing with a tight quad and is considered day-to-day. |
He was limited in Friday's practice and should be considered a game-time decision for Saturday's game in Philly. |
Tue Jul 15 2014 | 16:09 | Udonis Haslem agrees to $2.7M deal w/ Heat |
Udonis Haslem has agreed to re-sign with the Heat with an expected annual salary of $2.7 million. |
The deal will be for one or two years, and it represents a major sacrifice for Haslem since he opted out of a $4.6 million player option this summer. He's the ultimate team player and he'll likely retire with the Heat, whom he's played for since 2003, but fantasy owners can safely ignore him on draft day. |
