NBA’s Haywood Highsmith Involved in Car Accident Where Man Suffers Partial Leg Amputation

NBA player Haywood Highsmith of the Miami Heat was involved in a car accident after Tuesday night’s game in Miami, resulting in a crash that left one man critically injured with a partially amputated leg. The incident occurred as Highsmith was heading home from the game against the Orlando Magic. The 27-year-old, an undrafted free agent from Wheeling University in 2018, recorded three minutes of action in the game, a 121-95 win.

According to local reports by Andy Slater, Highsmith collided with a man assisting another stranded driver in the middle of the road. The injured man is currently in critical condition. The Miami Heat released a statement expressing sympathy for those affected, stating, “Our hearts go out to those who were injured.”

Highsmith, with experience in the G League and overseas, has played in 37 games this season, averaging 5.8 points and 2.8 rebounds. The timeline for his return to the team remains unclear.
