The Phoenix Suns agreed to a multi-year deal with forward Haywood Highsmith, per ESPN.

Highsmith was an integral rotation player for the Miami Heat for four seasons (2021-25). During that span, he started 80 games. Overall, he averaged 5.5 points and 3.2 rebounds across 20.3 minutes per game, while shooting 37.5% from 3-point range with the Heat.

In August 2025, he tore his meniscus while working out. Soon after, he was traded to the Brooklyn Nets.

He did not play a game for the Nets. They waived him at the trade deadline.
