Leads bench with 16 points Highsmith logged 16 points (6-8 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and four rebounds over 17 minutes in Wednesday's 120-111 preseason win over Atlanta.
Impact Highsmith led the Heat reserves in scoring Wednesday, and he was third on the team in that category behind Jimmy Butler (24) and Tyler Herro (19). Highsmith averaged a career-high 20.7 minutes per game across 66 regular-season outings (26 starts) last year, and he opted to stay in Miami by signing a two-year, $11 million deal with the Heat in early July. The 27-year-old will provide Miami valuable depth in the frontcourt alongside Jaime Jaquez and Kevin Love.

Scores 19 points vs. Atlanta Herro finished Wednesday's 120-111 preseason win over the Hawks with 19 points (7-12 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, five assists and one steal over 23 minutes.
Impact Herro had his highest scoring output of the preseason Wednesday despite playing the second leg of a back-to-back. He's coming off a 2023-24 campaign during which he averaged a career-high 20.8 points per game along with 5.3 rebounds, 4.5 assists and 0.7 steals over 33.5 minutes. However, Herro appeared in just 42 games (40 starts) due to multiple injuries, and his health will be a major factor in the Heat's quest to return to the NBA Finals after failing to make it past the first round of last year's Eastern Conference playoffs.

Leading scorer Wednesday Butler logged 24 points (8-11 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 6-8 FT), five rebounds, three assists and three steals over 21 minutes in Wednesday's 120-111 preseason win over the Hawks.
Impact Despite the Heat playing the second game of a back-to-back, Butler and the rest of the starters each played 20-plus minutes Wednesday. It didn't seem to bother him, as he led both teams in scoring in an efficient manner. Butler was unable to play in the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs after suffering a right MCL sprain during the Heat's Play-In Game loss to the 76ers, but he was cleared to participate in training camp without restrictions. Butler just turned 35, and his health during the 2024-25 campaign will be worth monitoring as he's missed at least 20 regular-season games in three of the last four years.

Productive off bench Tuesday Jaquez scored 15 points (5-11 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 5-8 FT) while adding six rebounds, five assists and a steal in 18 minutes off the bench during Tuesday's 120-117 preseason win over the S...
Impact The UCLA product is coming off an impressive rookie season, so Tuesday's strong per-minute production is no surprise. It's still not clear exactly how Jaquez will fit into the bench puzzle for the Heat, but he seems likely to form the core of the second unit alongside Duncan Robinson and offseason acquisition Alec Burks, who both saw similar workloads Tuesday.

Hits for 20 in preseason win Adebayo scored 20 points (6-10 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 6-9 FT) while adding three rebounds, three steals, two assists and two blocks in 24 minutes during Tuesday's 120-117 preseason win over...
Impact The veteran center led all scorers on the night while also making an impact on the defensive end in an efficient performance. Adebayo has averaged a double-double in three of the last five campaigns while producing at least 2.0 steals plus blocks a game in all five of those seasons, and there's no reason to suspect the 27-year-old's numbers are going to suddenly decline in 2024-25.
