Udonis Haslem played just 3 minutes in his season debut for the Heat before being ejected

Udonis Haslem, at 40 years old, has now officially played in 18 seasons for the Miami Heat. Unfortunately for him, his 2021 NBA season debut lasted less than three minutes after Haslem was ejected following an altercation with Dwight Howard.
On Thursday, during the Heat’s match against the Philadelphia 76ers, Haslem checked into the game for his first on-court action of the season. It was going quite well too, as Haslem managed to shoot 2-2 from the field and nabbed a rebound in his short time on the court.
In the second quarter, however, Haslem got in the face of Howard after the pair got into it during play. Haslem was then ejected after a technical foul was called and he left the court with just three minutes played in his season debut.
As always, Twitter was quick to jump in and provide hilarious commentary on the event
If it is, in fact, Haslem’s last regular season appearance for the Heat, what a way to go out. At 40-years-old, Haslem is currently the oldest NBA player on an active roster after spending 18 seasons in Miami, and he is now the oldest player to get ejected from a game in the last 20 seasons.
Just legendary stuff from Haslem. What a game.
