The Miami Heat’s Udonis Haslem had surgery on his right knee three weeks ago. That might not keep him from returning in time for the Miami Heat’s October 1st start of training camp.
“I’m three weeks in now. I feel pretty good, actually,” Haslem said, via the South Florida Sun Sentinel. “It wasn’t as bad as we thought it was. I was fortunate. It was mostly just a cleaning, a lot of scar tissue, a couple of loose pieces in there, cleaning out the MCL.”
“I’m rehabbing right now,” he said. “I’ll be ready for camp; I think I will. I feel good. I don’t want to get ahead of myself, but I actually feel real good. I’m looking to start running and getting back on the court in the next couple of weeks.”
That is good news for the Miami Heat. They’ll enter the season looking for a fourth Eastern Conference Championship and potentially a third consecutive NBA Title. On their last title run Haslem played with what was believed to be a torn meniscus. In the mean time he is enjoying the perks of being a two-time NBA Champion.
“Every year it gets better,” he said. “Every time we win a championship, you’re reaching out to a new group of people, a new group of fans, a new generation that probably didn’t know who you were, probably didn’t follow you the year before, probably was a hater, probably is a converted Heat fan. So every year you just add more people to the bandwagon. So we’re just going to try to keep on doing it.”
