The Miami Heat are re-signing veteran big man Udonis Haslem to a one-year contract for the veteran minimum of $2.6 million, sources told The Athletic's Shams Charania.

The 41-year-old Haslem, the league's oldest active player, has spent his entire career with the Heat since signing as an undrafted free agent in 2003. The 6-foot-8 grinder has been present for all six of the franchise's Finals appearances, including the championship runs in 2006, 2012, and 2013.

Haslem played just one game during the 2020-21 season, checking into Miami's third-last contest of the regular season. He was ejected within three minutes of that game after a dustup with Philadelphia 76ers center Dwight Howard. He didn't see any action during the Heat's first-round playoff loss to the Milwaukee Bucks.
