The Phoenix Suns waive guard/forward Haywood Highsmith, freeing a roster spot. The move comes after he joins the team as a free agent last February and appears in limited action during his time in Phoenix.
Across outlets, the core details are consistent: the Suns pursue and eventually sign Highsmith in February, then later decide to release him. One source notes he plays in seven games for Phoenix following his signing. Both accounts frame the decision primarily as a roster-management step that opens a place for another player, without detailing immediate replacements or further contract implications.
The reporting does not indicate a specific reason for the waiver beyond the creation of roster space. It also does not provide new information on injuries or internal performance assessments, focusing instead on the waiver, the timing around his February signing, and his overall involvement in games while with the Suns.
