Monday marked the final day of Highsmith’s second standard 10-day contract (third total) with the team. By rule, the Heat were forced to make a decision on whether to release him outright, sign him to a two-way contract while subsequently cutting/converting one of Javonte Smart or Kyle Guy or sign him to a standard contract.
