Heat's Haslem returning for 18th season

Udonis Haslem announced he's returning to the Miami Heat for an 18th season, according to Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel.

The veteran forward is set to sign a one-year, $2.5-million contract with the organization, The Associated Press' Tim Reynolds reports.

This marks Haslem's ninth contract signed with Miami, the only organization he's ever played for since entering the NBA in 2003.

Haslem has occupied more of a mentorship role in recent seasons with the Heat. He appeared in just four games during the 2019-20 season.
