Haslem, 42, will return for 20th Heat season
Kobe Bryant. Dirk Nowitzki. And now Udonis Haslem.
Miami’s captain is returning to the Heat for a 20th season, he announced. It’s a one-year deal worth $2.9 million.
Nowitzki played all 21 of his NBA seasons with the Dallas Mavericks, Bryant spent all 20 of his seasons with the Lakers, and, when he appears in his next game, Haslem will join them as a player spending at least two decades in the league and all with one franchise.
Tim Duncan spent 19 seasons with San Antonio, and John Stockton spent 19 with Utah.
Haslem, 42, is a three-time NBA champion with Miami and the franchise’s all-time leader in rebounds.
