| Udonis Haslem played through torn meniscus, will require offseason surgery
Udonis Haslem has always been a key role player for the Miami Heat, and helped his team when called upon at various times during their run to a second straight NBA title.Haslem's biggest contribution of the postseason came in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Finals against the Pacers, when he finished 8-of-9 from the field with 16 points in a win that put Miami up three games to two in that series.There wasn't as much of a need for Haslem against the Spurs in the Finals,[url=http://www.trueireligion.com]Cheap True Religion Jeans[/url], especially over the last two games of the series. He managed to play just two minutes in Game 7, and didn't play at all in Game 6.Part of that was due to Erik Spoelstra and the way he freely mixes up his lineups,[url=http://www.trueireligion.com]True Religion Outlet Store[/url], but it also may have been due to an injury Haslem suffered that will require offseason surgery.From Tim Reynolds of the Associated Press:Heat forward Udonis Haslem played through much of the second half of Miami's season with a torn right meniscus, and told The Associated Press that surgery will be required to repair the previously undisclosed injury.It forces me to be smart and take my time with recovery this summer, said Haslem, who just completed his 10th NBA season, all with Miami. Obviously, I don't heal like I used to so I've got to be a lot smarter and this forces me to be smart. My body's a little weary right now, a lot more weary than it was after last year.Haslem averaged 3.9 points and 5.4 rebounds in 18.9 minutes per game for the Heat during the regular season, and is the only Miami player along with Dwyane Wade to have experienced all three of the team's championships. |
