Miami Heat forward Haywood Highsmith is scheduled to rejoin the team on Friday, as reported by The Athletic, after he was absent from Wednesday’s win over the San Antonio Spurs due to a car collision earlier this week.

Highsmith, aged 27, collided with a pedestrian who was pushing a car that was not functional and with its lights turned off, stated the player’s representative, Jerry Dainis. As per the statement, the pedestrian was seriously harmed but was in stable condition at a hospital in Miami.

The crash happened just before midnight after the Heat secured a 121-95 triumph over the Orlando Magic on Tuesday. Highsmith, who was uninjured in the event, was charged with careless driving, according to The Athletic report.

According to Dainis, Highsmith stayed at the scene after the accident and he “had not consumed alcohol or drugs and was not speeding.” He stopped to provide assistance.

“We have been made aware that Highsmith was involved in a car accident heading home from last night’s game,” the Heat said in a statement Wednesday. “… Our hearts go out to those who were injured. We will have no further comment at this time.”

Highsmith, aged 27, has an average of 5.8 points and 2.8 rebounds in 37 games (24 starts) this season. This marks his third season with the Heat.

Miami will be hosting the Boston Celtics on Sunday.
