Miami Heat forward Haywood Highsmith underwent surgery on Friday to repair a meniscus tear in his right knee.
The team said Haywood will begin rehabilitation immediately and be back in eight-to-10 weeks, which extends into training camp. The NBA season starts on Oct. 21.
He sustained the injury while training in his native Baltimore. The 6-foot-7 forward is entering the final season of the two-year, $10.8 million contract he signed last summer.
Highsmith, 28, averaged a career-high 6.5 points and 1.5 assists to go along with 3.4 rebounds in 74 games (42 starts) with the Heat in 2024-25.
He entered the league as an undrafted free agent out of Division II Wheeling in 2018-19 and played in five games with the Philadelphia 76ers.
