Remains out, debut not imminent
Highsmith (knee) is out for Thursday's game against the Spurs.
Análise
After being cut loose by the Nets earlier this month, Highsmith quickly agreed to a two-year deal with the Suns upon clearing waivers. However, despite progressing to taking part in 5-on-5 on-court drills prior to being waived, Highsmith needs more time to get back to 100 percent health coming off of August surgery to repair a torn meniscus in his right knee. According to John Gambadoro of Arizona Sports 98.7 FM, Highsmith is still "weeks away" from making his Suns debut, with the team's decision to sign him being more of a move for 2026-27 rather than this season.

Highsmith underwent surgery to repair a meniscal tear in his right knee in August and was traded from Miami to Brooklyn shortly thereafter. While he never saw the court for the Nets before being waived Feb. 5, the 29-year-old forward is considered healthy and was taking part in 5-on-5 drills before being let go, per Michael Scotto of USA Today. In the 2024-25 campaign with the Heat, Highsmith averaged 6.5 points and 3.4 rebounds across 24.6 minutes per game in 74 regular-season appearances (42 starts). His first chance to make his Suns debut will come Thursday against the Spurs.
