Udonis Haslem (flu) will not play on Monday.

Haslem hasn't been doing much as Miami's starting PF anyway, so this shouldn't impact fantasy lineups. Shane Battier is the most likely option to replace him in the starting lineup.

Udonis Haslem scored just two points in 14 minutes on Saturday, despite starting again at PF.

Erik Spoelstra said that he wanted to "experiment" with different lineups, and nothing about Haslem's performance suggests that an increase in playing time is imminent.

Erik Spoelstra said Udonis Haslem will start at power forward for the Heat on Saturday.

Shane Battier is going to be eased back into his old role with the first unit and he only played nine minutes on Thursday. Haslem went 5-of-6 from the field in 22 minutes of action on Thursday, but isn't worth a look in most leagues with Miami fairly healthy.

Udonis Haslem returned from a hip injury and played well with 10 points and seven rebounds in 22 minutes against the Knicks on Thursday.

Haslem made his first five shots from the field and all of them were at the rim. he was averaging just 3.5 points per game and isn't a fantasy option while the Heat are near full strength.

Udonis Haslem (hip) will start for the Heat on Thursday.

Haslem suffered a hip injury on Tuesday and the Heat are going to start him in order to ease Shane Battier (knee) back to his normal role. Haslem is not an option in the majority of fantasy leagues.

Udonis Haslem (hip) will be a game-time decision on Thursday.

Haslem was icing his hip on Tuesday against the Wizards on the bench, but it sounds like the injury is minor. If he can't play, it will likely mean more minutes for Chris Bosh.

Udonis Haslem suffered a hip injury in Tuesday's loss to the Wizards.

Haslem had ice on his hip on the bench long before the game ended. He was scoreless in his 17.5 minutes of play on Tuesday and is not a fantasy option.

In 23 minutes, Udonis Haslem managed only a made free throw and eight rebounds as he returned from a quad injury Wednesday.

The Heat had been overly protective of Haslem since he injured his quad, but his returns means nothing for fantasy owners and the forward should be ignored on draft day.

Udonis Haslem (quad) will make his preseason debut on Wednesday against the Wizards.

Erik Spoelstra confirmed that Haslem will play, and it sounds like the Heat were being overly cautious with Haslem's quad injury from the onset. Mario Chalmers, who is also dealing with a quad injury, could also play as well.

Udonis Haslem (quad) went through "a lot of practice" on Monday.

We're taking Haslem off of the injury report as it sounds like he's fully over his quad issue. He's going to scrap for rotation minutes this season and isn't a fantasy option in standard formats.

Udonis Haslem is nursing a quad injury, but he's hoping to play on either Thursday or Saturday.

"I feel pretty good," he said. "I just got a little tightness in my quad," he added. Haslem did not play in China, but he said he's ready and is just waiting to be cleared by the coaches. We're not concerned about his regular season availability.

Udonis Haslem worked on improving his 3-point shot during the offseason.

No, we're not kidding. Haslem's last 3-point attempt was in 2007, but he's prepared to make it a part of his game. "I spent time on it this summer," he said. "We'll see. It feels pretty good. You've got to ask Coach. But it feels good. I'm going to shoot it with confidence and we'll see how it goes." Haslem is looking for ways to stay on the floor, and improving his range on the perimeter is a good start.

Udonis Haslem is working on improving his range.

Haslem is looking to broaden his horizons as he knows that he's not guaranteed major minutes in the rotation. The veteran big man wants to add "a little bit more range," and the ability to knock down an open jumper will be critical for Haslem if he hopes to sustain his role in the rotation.

Udonis Haslem knows that there will be stiff competition for playing time in Miami's rotation this season, and that he may have to "sacrifice those minutes."

Haslem's role is endangered by Miami's small-ball attack, and the additions of Ray Allen, Rashard Lewis and Josh Harrellson each give Erik Spoelstra more options. Haslem said he's been working toward the 2012-13 season from the moment the Finals ended, and suggested that his mid-range jumper is sharper than ever.

The South Florida Sun-Sentinel believes it's "highly possible" that Udonis Haslem could serve as the Heat's backup center behind Chris Bosh.

However, Haslem really struggled last season, so it wouldn't be surprising to see the team bring in another big man as an insurance policy. He'll look to bounce back from a season where he averaged 6.0 points and 7.3 rebounds on just 42.3 percent shooting, the lowest mark of his career.

Udonis Haslem will start at center for the Heat for Tuesday's Game 5.

The Heat have been playing musical centers and Haslem gets the call tonight. Chris Bosh is set to return, but will come off the bench.

Udonis Haslem played 36 minutes in Miami's OT defeat in Boston on Sunday, racking up 12 points, 17 rebounds, two assists and one steal off the bench.

Haslem justified Miami's small-ball attack, making 4-of-6 FGs and 4-of-4 FTs while easily outplaying new starting center Joel Anthony (two points, three rebounds in 15 minutes). Ronny Turiaf and Dexter Pittman both received DNP-CDs, and without Chris Bosh (abdomen) it seems the Heat will roll with a center rotation of Anthony, Haslem and LeBron.

Udonis Haslem has been suspended one game for his Flagrant-2 foul on Tyler Hansbrough during Game 5.

Dexter Pittman has also been suspended, for three games, and with Chris Bosh already ruled out for Game 6 the Heat's frontcourt is especially thin. Shane Battier has already been checking David West at PF in the series, and we could see Juwan Howard or even Eddy Curry on the active roster for Thursday.

Udonis Haslem's flagrant-one foul on Tyler Hansbrough is "almost certain" to be upgraded to a flagrant-two foul, a source tells CBS Sports' Ken Berger.

Berger also tweets that while a suspension is not automatic with an upgrade, it won't be ruled out in this case. We should have an update on Haslem's Game 6 availability and any other fallout from Game 5 before tipoff.

Udonis Haslem could be suspended for Thursday's Game 6 against the Pacers after clobbering Tyler Hansbrough midway through Tuesday's Game 5 win.

Haslem was retaliating after Hansbrough committed a hard foul on Dwyane Wade, which included what may have been an intentional raking of Wade's eyes, too. Regardless, Haslem's foul didn't pretend to have any basketball purpose other than to inflict pain, and he's looking at a 50-50 chance (at best) of playing on Thursday.
