Miami Heat big man Udonis Haslem will likely retire at the end of the season, after 17 years in the NBA.

Haslem, who will turn 40 in June, returned for another year because he didn’t want to leave the league after a non-playoff season.

However, he has played just three games this season (21 minutes overall) and he thinks this may be the right time to retire from basketball.

Haslem is a three-time NBA champion.
