Added to injury report Highsmith (knee) is questionable for Thursday's game versus the Spurs.

Available Tuesday Highsmith (knee) is available for Tuesday's game against the Timberwolves.

Impact Highsmith was initially listed as questionable due to right knee injury management, though he'll shake off that tag and suit up in the second leg of this back-to-back set. Over four appearances for the Suns, he has averaged 7.5 points, 2.8 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.0 steals in 18.0 minutes per contest.

MARCH 17 • ROTOWIRE

Listed as questionable Highsmith (knee) is questionable for Tuesday's game against Minnesota.

Impact After scoring a season-high 16 points in 19 minutes during Monday's loss to the Celtics, Highsmith might sit out the second leg of Phoenix's back-to-back for right knee injury management. If Highsmith sits out, Jordan Goodwin and Royce O'Neale would both be in line to pick up a few extra minutes.

MARCH 17 • ROTOWIRE

Scores season-high 16 points Highsmith provided 16 points (4-8 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds, one assist and one steal across 19 minutes during Monday's 120-112 loss to the Celtics.

Impact The 16 points were a season high for Highsmith, who continues to slowly work his way back offseason right knee surgery from a workload perspective. Over his first four appearances of the year, Highsmith has averaged 7.5 points, 2.8 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.0 steals in 17.8 minutes per game.

Getting green light Thursday Highsmith (knee) will play Thursday against the Pacers, Amanda Pflugrad of 3TV Phoenix reports.

Impact Highsmith was initially added to the team's injury report due to right knee injury management, but he's since received clearance to suit up for Thursday's action. The 29-year-old has logged 21 and 13 minutes in his first two games of the season and could see a slight uptick in chances against Indiana with Grayson Allen (knee) downgraded to out.

MARCH 12 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for Thursday Highsmith is questionable to play Thursday in Indiana due to right knee injury management, Kellan Olson of ArizonaSports.com reports.

Impact Highsmith recently returned from a lengthy absence, so the medical staff may play it safe and hold him out of Thursday's game, which will be the first of a back-to-back set. If Highsmith hits the sidelines, there would be more minutes available for Amir Coffey and Ryan Dunn.

MARCH 11 • ROTOWIRE

Logs 21 minutes in win Highsmith finished Sunday's 111-99 victory over the Hornets with three points (1-4 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds, two assists and one steal over 21 minutes.

Impact Highsmith saw a sizable workload in his season debut after a lengthy recovery from his knee issue. Highsmith is mostly a defensive specialist with a low usage rate, so he's unlikely to make a big fantasy impact.

Back at full strength Highsmith (knee) isn't listed on the injury report ahead of Tuesday's game against the Kings.

Impact Highsmith will be available to make his season debut after finishing up his rehab. It remains to be seen how involved the 29-year-old will be in the Phoenix rotation, though he figures to be deployed off the bench to provide bench minutes behind the likes of Grayson Allen and Royce O'Neale.

To be re-evaluated in 2-3 weeks Highsmith (knee) will be re-evaluated in two to three weeks, Shane Young of the Suns' official site reports.

Impact Highsmith has yet to make his season debut after undergoing right knee surgery in August to repair a torn meniscus. He was traded from Miami to Brooklyn shortly thereafter but was ultimately waived by the Nets on Feb. 5. While he signed a multi-year deal with the Suns on Feb. 14 and has reportedly been taking part in 5-on-5 drills, the team won't rush him back. It appears he'll return to action by early-to-mid-March at the very earliest.
