While Udonis Haslem is progressing quicker than expected, his return will not be for another month.
Haslem participated in a high-energy shooting drill on Tuesday.
“It’s a little sore [Tuesday], but I’m definitely making strides, heading in the right direction,” Haslem said. “Way further along than I anticipated right now.”
Haslem’s return isn’t imminent, though.
Spoelstra said before Tuesday’s game that Haslem will be evaluated on a weekly basis, meaning he might not be ready for the start of the playoffs.
“We’ll just have to see how the next month goes and then reevaluate,” Spoelstra said. “Only he can tell us how his foot and body is responding.
“We’re having daily discussions with the training staff. None of us really know at this point.”
Haslem said the next step in his rehabilitation “is trying to run up and down” with his teammates.
