Top Haywood Highsmith News

  • Heat's Haywood Highsmith: Slides back to bench

    Highsmith won't start Wednesday's Play-In game against the Bulls, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

    Highsmith started Miami's regular-season finale due to the absences of all five regular starters, but he'll come off the bench for Wednesday's tilt now that the starters are healthy. In 32 appearances with the reserves this season, Highsmith has averaged 6.2 points, 3.7 rebounds and 1.8 assists across 23.4 minutes.

  • Heat's Haywood Highsmith: Starting Sunday vs. Wizards

    Highsmith is in Miami's starting lineup against Washington on Sunday.

    Highsmith will make his 42nd start of the season (and third start since the beginning of March) due to the absences of Andrew Wiggins (hamstring) and Bam Adebayo (rest). Highsmith has averaged 6.8 points, 5.0 rebounds and 2.0 assists over 26.7 minutes per game over his last 10 outings.

  • Heat's Haywood Highsmith: Good to go

    Highsmith (Achilles) is available off the bench for Wednesday's game against the Bulls.

    Highsmith had been deemed probable due to a sore left Achilles, but he's been given the green light to suit up against Chicago. Highsmith will return to the second unit after making a spot start Monday. Highsmith is averaging 7.6 points, 4.4 rebounds and 1.4 assists across 27.4 minutes during his last seven appearances.

  • Heat's Haywood Highsmith: Likely to play vs. Chicago

    Highsmith (Achilles) has been listed as probable for Wednesday's game against the Bulls.

    Highsmith is dealing with an Achilles issue, but that likely won't keep him off the court on Wednesday in Chicago. The 27-year-old forward is averaging 6.4 points, 3.3 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.0 steals per game, shooting 45.7 percent from the floor and 38.4 percent from beyond the arc.

  • Heat's Haywood Highsmith: Starting sans Adebayo

    Highsmith (Achilles) is available and starting in Monday's game against the 76ers, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.

    The 28-year-old will receive the starting nod at power forward due to Bam Adebayo (back) being sidelined. Highsmith has averaged 6.6 points, 5.2 rebounds and 1.6 assists across 25.8 minutes per contest in his last five appearances.

  • Heat's Haywood Highsmith: Iffy for Monday

    Highsmith (Achilles) is questionable for Monday's game against the 76ers.

    Highsmith continues to manage a minor Achilles issue but hasn't missed a game since March 15. Over his last 11 appearances (one start), Highsmith has averaged 5.8 points, 4.5 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 1.3 steals in 27.8 minutes per game.

  • Heat's Haywood Highsmith: Will play against Milwaukee

    Highsmith (Achilles) has been cleared to play in Saturday's game against the Bucks, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.

    Highsmith continues to deal with an Achilles issue, but it won't keep him off the floor Saturday against Milwaukee. The 27-year-old forward is averaging 6.4 points, 3.3 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.0 steals per game while shooting 46.5 percent from the field.

  • Heat's Haywood Highsmith: Iffy against Milwaukee

    Highsmith (Achilles) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game versus the Bucks.

    Highsmith was also listed as questionable due to left Achilles soreness before being upgraded to available in Miami's previous outing. Highsmith should continue to be one of the Heat's primary bench options in their forward rotations if he's able to suit up against Milwaukee.

  • Heat's Haywood Highsmith: Good to go Thursday

    Highsmith (Achilles) is available for Thursday's game against the Grizzlies, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

    Highsmith will shake off a questionable tag Thursday due to left Achilles soreness, suiting up in the second half of the club's back-to-back set. Over his last five outings, the 28-year-old forward has averaged 7.2 points, 5.0 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.2 steals across 28.8 minutes per contest.

  • Heat's Haywood Highsmith: Questionable for Thursday

    Highsmith (Achilles soreness) is questionable for Thursday's game versus the Grizzlies, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.

    Thursday's game is the second leg of a back-to-back set, and a maintenance day is on the table for Highsmith. The forward fared well Wednesday versus Miami, scoring 10 points with four rebounds and one block in 26 minutes.

  • Heat's Haywood Highsmith: Pulls down seven rebounds

    Highsmith produced two points (1-4 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 0-1 FT), seven rebounds, one assist and one steal across 21 minutes during Monday's 120-94 win over the Wizards.

    Highsmith was coming off a couple of impressive performances for Miami, but he cooled off in a big way Monday. The Heat have been shorthanded lately, allowing Highsmith to see healthy workloads. Over his last five games, Highsmith has averaged 6.6 points, 5.4 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 1.4 steals and 1.2 three-pointers in 30.9 minutes.

  • Heat's Haywood Highsmith: Back to bench Wednesday

    Highsmith will come off the bench during Wednesday's game against the Pistons.

    After getting the start for the Heat in Monday's loss to the Knicks, Highsmith will be in the second unit Wednesday against Detroit. Bam Adebayo will return to his natural position, while Kel'el Ware will return to the starting lineup.

  • Heat's Haywood Highsmith: Part of first unit

    Highsmith is part of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Knicks, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.

  • Heat's Haywood Highsmith: Good to go against Charlotte

    Highsmith (knee) is available for Monday's game against the Hornets, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.

    Highsmith popped up on Sunday's injury report due to a left knee contusion, but the issue isn't severe enough for him to be sidelined Monday. He has appeared in the Heat's last seven games, and over that span he has averaged 9.0 points, 3.7 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 0.9 steals over 28.3 minutes per game.

  • Heat's Haywood Highsmith: Iffy for Monday

    Highsmith is questionable for Monday's game against Charlotte due to a left knee contusion, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.

    The left knee contusion is a new injury for Highsmith, who has appeared in each of the club's last seven outings. The 28-year-old has averaged 9.0 points, 3.7 rebounds and 2.4 assists across 28.3 minutes per game in that seven-game span. If Highsmith is sidelined Monday, Jaime Jaquez and Kyle Anderson are candidates for a bump in minutes.

  • Heat's Haywood Highsmith: Solid all-around showing Wednesday

    Highsmith notched 14 points (4-5 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, five assists, one block and one steal in 27 minutes during Wednesday's 131-109 victory over the Hawks.

    Highsmith played off the bench in this one and saw the court for the first time since Feb. 12, and there's no question he turned heads with his play, as he missed just one shot from the floor while also contributing in other categories. Highsmith logged 27 minutes off the bench in this blowout win, which might lead him to see the court more regularly in the coming weeks.

  • 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.
