Highsmith (personal), who has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Spurs, did not sustain injuries in the car accident he was involved in Tuesday night, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.
EDGE Analysis
Although Highsmith wasn't injured and hasn't been charged in connection with the car accident, he hit a person helping another driver stuck in the middle of the road. The man who was hit is in critical condition and suffered a partial amputation of his leg, so it's unclear whether Highsmith will miss additional time due to emotional distress or legal ramifications. His next opportunity to suit up will be Sunday against Boston.

Highsmith had eight points (3-6 FG, 2-4 3Pt), four rebounds, one assist, one block and two steals across 24 minutes during Wednesday's 105-96 loss to the Grizzlies.
EDGE Analysis
Highsmith started for the first time since Jan. 12 against the Magic. He played 24 points in Wednesday's loss, which is the second straight game he's played 20-plus minutes after playing 12 minutes or less in the three previous contests. He could revert to the bench for Thursday's game against the Celtics if the Heat opt to start newcomer Terry Rozier.
