Heat re-sign Udonis Haslem for 15th season

The Miami Heat have re-signed veteran forward Udonis Haslem, the team announced Thursday.

Haslem will return for his 15th season with Miami after going undrafted in 2003. He has won three championships and made five Finals appearances.

At his advanced age, the 37-year-old no longer directly figures into the Heat's outcomes on the floor. Haslem's contributions come in terms of setting an example, providing a veteran voice in the locker room, and as a walking reminder of the Heat's winning culture.

Haslem averaged 1.9 points and 2.3 rebounds in 16 games last season.
