Highsmith will join the Suns after receiving offers from multiple playoff teams.

Highsmith is yet to play this 2025-26 season after undergoing offseason surgery to fix his right knee due to a torn meniscus. He experienced a setback in his rehab back in October.

He was acquired by the Nets after spending the last four seasons with the Miami Heat. But Brooklyn went on to waive him earlier this month.

The veteran forward holds a career average of 5.4 points, 3.1 boards and 1.1 assists in 218 games played.
