Haywood Highsmith's career in the NBA hasn't been an easy one. He went undrafted in 2018, spending the majority of his rookie season playing in the G League before making his official NBA debut with the Sixers. It wasn't until two years later that everything changed for him, after signing with the Miami Heat.
He signed a 10-day contract with the Heat in December 2021. Little did he know that three and a half years later, he'd still be in Miami. The 2025-26 season could be his last, though.
The Heat re-signed Highsmith to a two-year, $11 million fully guaranteed deal last summer, so this upcoming season is the final one on his current contract.
