Signed a two-year, $3.85 million contract with the Suns in February of 2026. 
Out another 2-to-3 weeks
The Suns announced Saturday that Highsmith (knee) will be re-evaluated in two to three weeks, Shane Young of the Suns' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Highsmith has yet to make his season debut after undergoing right knee surgery in August to repair a torn meniscus. He was traded from Miami to Brooklyn shortly thereafter but was ultimately waived by the Nets on Feb. 5. While he has since caught on with the Suns on a multi-year deal and had been taking part in 5-on-5 drills prior to being waived by Brooklyn, he won't be rushed along in his recovery from major surgery. Highsmith could be a valuable role player for Phoenix once he's eventually cleared to play, though the organization is counting on him to contribute more in 2026-27 rather than this season.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
2022
Despite averaging a career-high 20.7 minutes per game during the 2023-24 season, Highsmith still finished well outside the top 200 in standard fantasy formats, highlighting his limited per-minute upside. He averaged 6.1 points, 3.2 rebounds, 0.8 steals and 1.1 three-pointers and shot only 63.9 percent from the line. The Heat re-signed Highsmith for two more years during the offseason, ensuring he will remain part of the rotation for the foreseeable future. The Heat have some intriguing depth pieces including Kel'el Ware, Josh Christopher and Pelle Larsson, all of whom will be staking their claim for playing time. This could result in Highsmith seeing fewer minutes this season, making him a non-factor once again. At best, Highsmith could be considered with a final-round pick in deeper formats.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Option for 76ers
Highsmith is nearing full recovery from August meniscus surgery and is drawing interest from several playoff teams, Keith Pompey of the Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
ANALYSIS
Philadelphia is among the teams considering him as a defensive wing option. With Paul George in the early stages of his 25-game suspension, Highsmith would have an opportunity to carve out a role with the 76ers. He has not played yet this season, but he is expected to be ready soon.
