With a spot on the Miami Heat’s roster reserved for forward Udonis Haslem, he has yet to make a final decision on whether he will return for a 20th NBA season or retire.
Haslem, who turned 42 on June 9, said Monday that he’s still thinking about his NBA future. The expectation has been that he will continue his playing career and sign a one-year deal at the NBA veteran minimum of $2.8 million to return to the Heat, but that’s not reality yet.
“I don’t know. We’re thinking about it,” Haslem said Monday afternoon from Nova Southeastern University, where he teamed up with FTX to award two South Florida minority-owned small businesses with $50,000 grants. “But either way, I’m always going to be a part of that Heat family. I ain’t going nowhere. Whether I play or not, I’m always going to impact that organization.
