The Heat have signed veteran free-agent Erick Dampier to fill the void left behind by Udonis Haslem.

Haslem had surgery on his left foot Tuesday and it's possible that he could miss the remainder of the season. Even if he does return, he'll likely be out until at least February.

Dampier practiced with the Heat on Tuesday morning. He worked out for Miami in September, but the team decided not to sign him to a contract.
