Haywood Highsmith will be a popular man in free agency after finishing off a three-year, $3.9 million deal. Speaking on the Locket On Heat podcast, Michael Scotto of HoopsHype noted that Highsmith "has a lot of interest around the league." The 27-year-old posted career numbers in multiple categories in 2023-24, averaging 6.1 points and 3.2 rebounds in 20.7 minutes, with 39.6 percent shooting from deep. He hasn't been a fantasy factor, but Highsmith is seen as a good defender, and it looks like this will help him secure a good contract this offseason.

Haywood Highsmith (foot) will suit up for Wednesday's game versus the Boston Celtics. The 27-year-old is listed on the injury report because of plantar fasciitis in his right foot, however, he will be able to play through the ailment as Miami hopes to keep their season alive in Game 5. The Heat are facing elimination against a talented Celtics team, and it is likely Highsmith will play a larger role since Miami is missing key players such as
Jimmy Butler (knee),
Terry Rozier (neck), and
Jaime Jaquez Jr. (hip). Highsmith could be a sneaky play for DFS managers for Wednesday's game, as he has seen at least 19 minutes in every matchup of this series.

Haywood Highsmith (knee) is listed as questionable for Saturday's matchup against Utah. He's in danger of missing a second consecutive contest, although Highsmith wasn't on the injury report for Thursday's meeting with Denver. He was added to the report with a left knee effusion on Friday. Highsmith's absence leaves more minutes available to
Nikola Jovic and
Caleb Martin (thumb). The latter had the better performance coming off the bench on Thursday and is a much more reliable fantasy option than Jovic, although Martin is also questionable for Saturday's game.

Haywood Highsmith (concussion) was forced to exit early during Saturday's game against the Utah Jazz. Highsmith was placed in concussion protocol after colliding with
Collin Sexton as both players went for a loose ball. This didn't look good as Highsmith needed assistance getting back to the locker room. The expectation is that Highsmith will need to clear the league's concussion protocol before playing again. The Heat also lost
Jimmy Butler (foot) during this game.
Jaime Jaquez Jr.,
Duncan Robinson, and even
Jamal Cain could be looking at bigger roles soon.
