Haywood Highsmith Latest News
Returning to bench

Highsmith isn't starting Monday's game against the Celtics. Highsmith will shift to a bench role after making seven straight starts for the Heat. Recent acquisition Andrew Wiggins will presumably slot in as the team's starting small forward moving forward, though Highsmith should still see a sizable workload off the bench.
Available to play Friday

Highsmith (Achilles) is listed as available for Friday's game against Brooklyn. Highsmith has been included on the injury report for each of the club's last two outings due to left Achilles soreness. However, he hasn't missed a game since Oct. 30. The 28-year-old forward has started in the club's last six outings, averaging 5.2 points and 2.3 rebounds in 21.8 minutes per contest.
Probable to play Friday

Highsmith (Achilles) is probable to play in Friday's game against the Nets, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports. Highsmith has been dealing with this Achilles injury for quite a while now. Still, it has not hindered him from playing (only two total games missed this season, with his last absence on Oct. 30). With the recent blockbuster trade that sent Jimmy Butler to the Warriors for Andrew Wiggins, who will be taking some time to get settled in Miami, Highsmith will likely remain with the starters for the next game or two.
Available to play Wednesday

Highsmith (Achilles) has been cleared to play Wednesday against the 76ers, Ky Carlin of USA Today reports. Highsmith has been upgraded from probable to available. The 27-year-old forward is averaging a career-high 6.6 points per game this season to go along with 3.2 rebounds and 1.2 assists per contest for Miami.
Expected to play

Highsmith is probable for Wednesday's game against the 76ers with left Achilles soreness. This appears to be a minor issue for Highsmith, especially if the Heat are planning on him playing in the second leg of this back-to-back set. Highsmith has played 18.7 minutes per contest over his last 10 games with averages of 4.7 points, 2.2 rebounds and 1.0 assists.
Efficient in loss

Highsmith recorded 12 points (5-7 FG, 2-4 3Pt), three rebounds and two blocks over 26 minutes during Wednesday's 126-106 loss to the Cavaliers. Highsmith tallied double-digit points in Wednesday's loss for the first time since Jan. 15. While the 27-year-old forward is averaging just 6.6 points per game in 2024-25, he remains in the starting lineup due to his reliable outside shooting and standout perimeter defense. Highsmith is converting 40.9 percent of his 3.0 three-point attempts per contest this season and is averaging 1.0 steals in 24.2 minutes.
Getting starting nod

Highsmith is in the starting lineup for Saturday's game versus the Nets. Highsmith will replace Pelle Larsson in the starting five Saturday. Highsmith is averaging 7.1 points, 3.5 rebounds and 1.7 assists in 24.8 minutes across his last 10 starting appearances.
Moves to bench

Highsmith isn't in the starting five for Tuesday's game versus the Trail Blazers. Highsmith will be replaced by Kel'el Ware in the starting lineup Tuesday. Highsmith is averaging 6.7 points and 2.9 rebounds in 19.0 minutes across his seven appearances off the bench this season.
Solid outing in loss

Highsmith had 12 points (5-10 FG, 2-4 3Pt), three rebounds, one assist and two blocks over 29 minutes during Wednesday's 117-108 loss to the Lakers. Highsmith was Miami's second-leading scorer during Wednesday's loss. The 27-year-old guard is enjoying the best shooting season of his career in 2024-25, as he is converting 42.1 percent of his 3.3 three-point attempts per contest.
