MIAMI – Miami Heat forward Shane Battier thinks he has one more year of basketball left in him.

"I think I have one more year," Battier told USA Today. "My contract is up next year, and I'll reassess where I am, but we'll see. It's a good possibility, a good possibility. We'll cross that bridge when we get to it, and everything in this league is negotiable, but at that point I'll be 36 and it may be time to do something else."
