  • Heat's Haywood Highsmith: 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.

  • Heat's Haywood Highsmith: 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.

  • Heat's Haywood Highsmith: 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.

  • Heat's Haywood Highsmith: 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.

  • Heat's Haywood Highsmith: 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.

  • Heat's Haywood Highsmith: 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.

  • Heat's Haywood Highsmith: 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.

  • Heat's Haywood Highsmith: Available to play

    Highsmith (personal) is available to play Monday against the Kings.

    Highsmith was originally carrying a questionable tag, but he's expected to see his usual workload Monday night. The forward is averaging 6.8 points, 3.3 rebounds, 1.1 assists and 1.0 steals in 24.5 minutes this season.

  • Heat's Haywood Highsmith: Questionable for Monday

    Highsmith is questionable for Monday's game against the Kings due to a personal matter, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

    Highsmith didn't travel with the team Sunday while he deals with a personal matter. However, the 28-year-old is expected to meet the club in Sacramento prior to Monday's tipoff at 10:00 p.m. ET, according to Winderman. If Highsmith is sidelined, Duncan Robinson and Keshad Johnson are candidates for an uptick in playing time.

  • Heat's Haywood Highsmith: Season-high eight rebounds in win

    Highsmith registered 15 points (6-9 FG, 3-6 3Pt), eight rebounds, two assists, one block and three steals in 38 minutes during Sunday's 104-100 victory over the Rockets.

    Highsmith brought down a season-high eight rebounds Sunday, and he offered disruptive defense as well. The 28-year-old forward has scored in double digits in back-to-back games, but he hasn't played a very big role for the Heat lately, averaging 7.6 points, 3.6 rebounds, 0.9 assists, 0.8 steals and 1.8 threes in 24.7 minutes across his last 11 outings (10 starts). Highsmith could maintain a brief increase in fantasy value if All-Star forward Jimmy Butler (illness) remains out for Wednesday's tilt with New Orleans, but the former's upside remains highly limited in any event.

  • Heat's Haywood Highsmith: Back in starting lineup Monday

    Highsmith is in the Heat's starting lineup for Monday's game against the Nets, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.

    Highsmith came off the bench and played just six minutes in Miami's 121-114 loss to the Magic on Saturday. However, with Jimmy Butler (illness) sidelined for a second straight game, Highsmith will return to the starting five while Nikola Jovic retreats to the bench. Across his last 10 starts, Highsmith averaged 7.1 points, 3.4 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 1.0 blocks over 26.5 minutes per game.

  • Heat's Haywood Highsmith: Coming off bench

    Highsmith is not part of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Magic.

    Even though the Heat will be without Jimmy Butler (illness) on Saturday, Highsmith will come off the bench for the first time in 17 games. Instead, the Heat will start Dru Smith, Duncan Robinson and Nikola Jovic alongside Tyler Herro and Bam Adebayo.

  • Heat's Haywood Highsmith: Nails three triples in win

    Highsmith notched nine points (3-10 FG, 3-6 3Pt) and three rebounds across 19 minutes during Thursday's 114-104 win over the Raptors.

    All nine of Highsmith's points came from behind the arc in Thursday's win over Toronto. The 27-year-old forward is shooting 42.4 percent on 3.1 three-point attempts per contest this season. However, Highsmith's role in Miami's starting five is primarily as a lockdown defender and typically isn't asked to score in bunches or create shots for others.

  • Heat's Haywood Highsmith: Will play Wednesday

    Highsmith (finger) is available for Wednesday's game against the Hornets.

    Despite being a late addition to the injury report, Highsmith will be available and should see his regular dose of minutes. He's started in Miami's last seven games, averaging 5.9 points, 2.6 rebounds, 1.6 steals and 1.0 assists across 25.9 minutes per contest.
