HAYWOOD HIGHSMITH NEWS

Labeled probable Friday Highsmith is probable to take the floor Friday despite a hip issue, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Impact Highsmith held the same designation with the same issue leading up to Wednesday's game and played in the contest, so there doesn't seem to be much to worry about here. Highsmith logged 38 minutes off the bench in that contest and could be in line for a sizable role again Friday with Jimmy Butler (knee) out and Max Strus (shoulder) doubtful.

Strong rebounding night Highsmith recorded five points (2-7 FG, 1-4 3Pt), eight rebounds, one assist and one steal over 38 minutes during Wednesday's 113-105 victory over Washington.

Impact Highsmith didn't have the greatest shooting night, but he made up for it by securing eight rebounds for his squad in the win. He's been one of a few bench players who have seen a notable uptick in playing time over the last week or so due to Miami's injured frontcourt. He's averaging 7.3 points, 7.5 rebounds and 1.0 steal over his last four matchups (32.3 minutes).

Active Wednesday Highsmith (hip) is available for Wednesday's game against Washington, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Impact As expected, Highsmith will suit up against the Wizards after turning in 12 points and five rebounds in 20 minutes of action in Monday's loss to the Timberwolves. He should continue to see plenty of playing time due to the number of Heat players currently sidelined.

Probable Wednesday Highsmith is considered probable for Wednesday's game versus the Wizards due to a hip injury, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Impact Highsmith has played a larger workload than usual of late due to the exorbitant number of injuries in the Heat's regular rotation. That's still the case Wednesday, so Highsmith should see plenty of minutes again, assuming he suits up as expected.

Shifting back to bench Highsmith will move back to the bench for Sunday's game at Cleveland.

Impact The Heat are slightly less shorthanded than they were Friday at Washington, when Highsmith made his first start of the season. In a whopping 42 minutes of action, Highsmith posted 12 points, 13 rebounds, two assists and two steals. While that made him a temporary DFS darling, Highsmith is not a regular rotation player when Miami is at full strength. Bam Adebayo and Nikola Jovic will start up front Sunday night.

Notches first double-double Highsmith registered 12 points (5-17 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 13 rebounds, two assists and two steals over 42 minutes during Friday's 107-106 overtime loss to Washington.

Impact Highsmith couldn't figure out his shooting touch on a night when the Heat only had seven healthy players, but he played well enough to secure his first double-double of the campaign with his stellar work on the boards. The forward typically doesn't see much playing time due to his current place in the team's rotation, as he was averaging 0.4 points and 0.8 rebounds in 5.6 minutes over five games heading into Friday's matchup.

Starting Friday Highsmith will start Friday's game against the Wizards, Ira Winderman reports.

Impact Highsmith happens to be one of seven healthy Heat players and will replace Jimmy Butler (knee) in the starting lineup. Considering how thin the Heat are, Highsmith will likely see as many minutes as he can handle and certainly should be a value target in daily formats and a streaming option for season-long managers.

Shifts to bench Wednesday Highsmith will come off the bench for Wednesday's preseason finale against the Pelicans.

Impact Besides the opener, Highsmith had started every preseason game up to this point. However, with Caleb Martin (knee) returning to the lineup, Highsmith will move back to a reserve role against New Orleans on Wednesday. The forward could see a slightly bigger role this season after averaging 2.3 points and 1.4 rebounds in 8.6 minutes per contest in 2021-22, but he probably won't be relevant for fantasy purposes.

Impact The Heat rolled with a completely new opening five, affording some rest to their usual suspects. This allowed Highsmith to slide into a larger role, something that is unlikely to happen once the games actually matter. His production was certainly solid enough but when all is said and done, he remains well off the fantasy radar.

Set to start Thursday Highsmith will start in the Heat's preseason game Thursday against the Nets, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Impact Highsmith came off the bench in the Heat's preseason opener against the Timberwolves and logged seven points and eight rebounds in 19 minutes. With Caleb Martin (knee), Tyler Herro (knee), Victor Oladipo (rest) and Gabe Vincent (knee) all unavailable Thursday, Highsmith will get the start for Miami.

Clears injury report Highsmith (hip) is available for Tuesday's Game 2 against the Hawks, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Impact Highsmith was one of six players on Miami's injury report for Tuesday, but the Heat will have their entire roster available. However, Highsmith -- who's played double-digit minutes just six times this season -- isn't expected to have a major role during Game 2.

APRIL 19, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

One of six players on injury report Highsmith is listed as questionable for Tuesday's Game 2 against Atlanta due to a strained left hip flexor.

Impact Highsmith was cleared to play in Game 1 on Sunday and ended up seeing five minutes of garbage-time action in the blowout victory. It's unclear why Miami is once again listing him on the injury report, but it would be a surprise if he's unavailable for Game 2.

Good to go for Game 1 Highsmith (hip) is available for Sunday's Game 1 against Atlanta, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Impact The Heat loaded up their injury report throughout the week, but as expected they'll have all 17 players technically available to play Sunday. Barring several injuries, Highsmith will not be a part of the Heat's playoff rotation.

APRIL 17, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for Game 1 Highsmith is questionable for Sunday's Game 1 against the Hawks due to a hip injury, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Impact Highsmith has been a fringe part of the rotation since January. It seems unlikely he'll see meaningful playoff minutes if healthy.

APRIL 16, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Goes for 16 points Sunday Highsmith had 16 points (7-17 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 0-1 FT), five rebounds, two assists and one block across 40 minutes during Sunday's 125-111 loss to the Magic.

Impact Highsmith hadn't played more than 16 minutes in any game this season but delivered a strong outing in the first NBA start of this career -- he ended as Miami's third-highest scorer. He took advantage of the opportunity due to the fact that Miami was resting several regulars, but he will return to a minimal role off the bench once the playoffs start this weekend.
