Powell (ankle) is available for Saturday's game against the Kings, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Powell will suit up in the second leg of Miami's back-to-back set after tweaking his left ankle during Friday's loss to the Magic. Over his last five appearances, the veteran swingman has averaged 25.8 points, 3.2 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 1.0 steals in 31.0 minutes per contest. With Tyler Herro (toe) and Davion Mitchell (groin) sidelined, the Heat will need Powell to take on more scoring and playmaking duties.

Heat's Norman Powell: Expected to play Saturday
Rotowire
Powell (ankle) is probable for Saturday's game against the Kings, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
Powell tweaked his left ankle during Friday's loss to the Magic, but he finished the game, racking up 28 points (9-18 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 8-11 FT), three rebounds, four assists and one block across 32 minutes, and will likely be back in action during the second half of Miami's back-to-back set. The ankle injury caused the veteran to miss Wednesday's loss in Dallas, so while it appears to be a minor issue, it's something worth monitoring.

Heat's Norman Powell: Scores 28 points on 18 shots
Rotowire
Powell racked up 28 points (9-18 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 8-11 FT), three rebounds, four assists and one block across 32 minutes during Friday's 106-105 loss to the Magic.
Powell tweaked his left ankle during this game, and while he was able to play through it, it wouldn't be shocking to see him pop up on the injury report ahead of Saturday's game versus Sacramento. If Powell does need to sit out the second leg of this back-to-back set, Jaime Jaquez, Pelle Larsson and Dru Smith would likely see a boost in minutes.

Rotowire
Powell (ankle) is available for Friday's game against the Magic, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
Powell was initially listed as questionable but will return to action Friday after missing Wednesday's loss to the Mavericks. With Tyler Herro (toe) sidelined, Powell may see increased usage Friday, and it's unclear if either guard will suit up during the second half of Miami's weekend back-to-back set against the Kings on Saturday. Over his last 14 appearances, Powell has averaged 25.2 points, 2.9 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.1 steals in 30.5 minutes.

Powell will require at least one contest to recover from a sprained left ankle. The star swingman can be considered day-to-day ahead of the first half of Miami's next back-to-back set, which begins Friday in Orlando. Pelle Larsson, who is questionable with a sprained toe, could fill in for Powell in the starting five. Jaime Jaquez should also be in line for an increased role.

A sprained left ankle is jeopardizing Powell's chances of playing Wednesday. The star swingman could go through pregame warmups before the Heat decide if he'll be available. If Powell can't go, Jaime Jaquez and Dru Smith should see enough playing time to command streaming attention.
