Miami Heat

The Miami Heat are preparing for their postseason game against the Atlanta Hawks but also making sure to give team captain Udonis Haslem a proper send-off. 

Haslem is playing his final regular season Sunday against the Orlando Magic. Despite it being a meaningless game for the Heat, many of the players will participate in today's game. The only players ruled out are Jimmy Butler and Nikola Jovic. 

"That is part of it and also just guys wanting to play and not have all the dayus off," Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said. "It is a little bit of a balance. The guys that are fully in our rotation, these will be limited minutes. It will be a salute." 

Haslem is closing down a 20-year career, all with the same team. He retires as the Heat's all-time rebounding leader and a three-time NBA champion.
