Heat's Norman Powell: Off night from deep
Rotowire

Powell finished as Miami's second-leading scorer, but he accounted for 10 of the Heat's 30 missed three-pointers Friday, which was his most in a game since March 10, 2024, against the Bucks as a member of the Clippers (11 missed threes). Despite this off night, Powell has been the Heat's go-to option on offense in games when Tyler Herro (toe) hasn't played, and that shouldn't change for Sunday's road tilt against the Knicks if Herro remains out.

Heat's Norman Powell: Listed as questionable
Rotowire
Powell (calf) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Nets.
Powell was unable to practice Wednesday due to left calf tightness. The issue sounds somewhat minor, but Thursday's game is the front end of a back-to-back set and the Heat may proceed with caution. Tyler Herro (toe) has already been ruled out, so Powell could soak up extra usage if he's able to give it a go.
