Heat's Udonis Haslem: Cleared for Game 4
Rotowire
Haslem (illness) is available for Monday's Game 4 versus New York, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
Haslem was ruled out for Game 3 due to an illness, but as expected, he's cleared the aliment and will suit up for Game 4.

Heat's Udonis Haslem: Turns back clock Sunday
Rotowire
Haslem notched 24 points (9-17 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 3-3 FT), three rebounds and one block over 25 minutes during Sunday's 123-110 win over the Magic.
After being honored in a pregame ceremony for what was the final regular-season game of his NBA career, Haslem entered the rotation for a Heat squad that was resting Jimmy Butler and limiting the minutes of most other key players. The 42-year-old wasn't shy about firing away early and often Sunday and ended up finishing with his best scoring total since he posted 28 points in a Nov. 14, 2009 game. The appearance was Haslem's first since Feb. 2 and just his seventh overall of the season.

Heat's Udonis Haslem: Good to go
Rotowire
Haslem (personal) will play Monday against Denver, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
As has been the case for several years now, Haslem is essentially a player-coach who typically only sees the floor when the Heat are shorthanded. Haslem did log 10 minutes against the Knicks earlier this month (Feb. 2), but prior to that he hadn't appeared in a game in nearly two months.

Rotowire
Haslem (personal) has been upgraded to probable Monday against the Nuggets.
The veteran was previously listed as doubtful, but it appears he'll likely suit up. However, Haslem has played a total of 10 minutes since the new year, so his role shouldn't impact Miami's rotation.

Heat's Udonis Haslem: Doubtful Monday
Rotowire
Haslem (personal) is doubtful to play Monday against the Nuggets.
Haslem is currently away from the team tending to a personal matter, and it doesn't sound like he'll be available for Monday's game. However, he's rarely a part of the Heat's rotation, so the 42-year-old veteran's playing status is largely irrelevant for fantasy hoops.

Heat's Udonis Haslem: Gets green light for Sunday
Rotowire
Haslem (Achilles) is available to play in Sunday's game against the Pelicans, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Though he'll be suiting up Sunday, Haslem is unlikely to see the floor unless the Heat frontcourt is decimated by injuries or foul trouble as the game unfolds. Haslem hasn't been forced to miss any games recently due to the sore right Achilles that has regularly resulted in him being included on the injury report, but he still hasn't played since Dec. 15 in Houston.

Heat's Udonis Haslem: Receives probable tag
Rotowire
Haslem (Achilles) is listed as probable for Monday's game in Atlanta, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Though he's been a fixture on Heat injury reports for nearly a month due to the Achilles issue, Haslem was officially ruled out for only one game, a Dec. 17 win over the Spurs. Despite being available for the subsequent 13 games, Haslem hasn't left the bench, as the 42-year-old has continued to serve mainly as a mentor to younger members of the roster rather than a player head coach Erik Spoelstra relies on in the rotation. Even though he'll likely end up being available Monday, Haslem won't play unless Miami's frontcourt depth is significantly tested due to either in-game injuries and/or foul trouble.

Heat's Udonis Haslem: Gets green light Saturday
Rotowire
Haslem (Achilles) will be available for Saturday's game versus the Bucks, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
Haslem is nothing more than an end-of-the-bench piece at this point in his career, spending most of his time coaching up the younger players. He has appeared in just five contests all season, so there's a better-than-not chance he won't leave the bench against the Bucks.
